Abstract: This study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of food diet supplemented consisting of 30% cereal bran (barley and wheat) on the development of “wistar” rats. Sixty six male “wistar” rats with a mean weight of 173 ± 5g were examined for a period of three months. The experimental diets include a standard diet (S), hypercaloric diet (H), enriched diet with wheat bran (WB) or enriched diet with barley bran (BB). A significant increase (P<0.05) in weights was noted especially in rats under hypercaloric diet (H). Glycemia, total cholesterol, triacylglycerols and LDL-C increased in rats under hypercaloric diet and decrease with diets enriched with wheat and barley bran.
