The present study was carried out to investigate the effect of the fortified casein (Cas) and
whey protein hydrolesate (WPH) with herbal medicine, namely Psyllium husk(Ps) and Napek
(Nab)on hyper lipidemia and liver enzymes in male albino rats., eighty rats were divided into
ten groups, group 1 was given standard diet as a normal control group, group 2 was given the
fatty diet (cholesterol 1%) as a positive control, groups (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8) were feed on fatty
diet upon the treatment of casein, whey protein hydrolezate, Ps husk, casein plus Ps, whey
protein plus PS, Nap, casein plus Nap and whey plus Nap. This study indicated that
incorporation of casein and whey proteins with each Ps husk and Nap caused an improvement
the lipid profile namely, total cholesterol, HDL, LDL and triglyceride. The fortification
caused significant increase in HDL level, while a significant decrease in LDL – C Levels
were noticed. Also, a significant decrease in Tri G level was shown upon the fortification of
milk proteins understudy with Ps husk and Nap respectively on the other hand the fortified
casein and whey protein with each Ps husk and Naphad no harmful effect on liver functions
(ALT, AST, and ALP), bilirubin (total and indirect) and albumin. Moreover, a significant
decrease in serum MDA. The fore mentioned results proved that the effective of fortification
milk proteins with herbal medicine on protection against oxidative stress of body cells.
