Effect of adding high-quality protein maize to the diet of mice
Keywords:
food consumption, glucose, zea mays, triglyceridesAbstract
Objective
The aim of this work was to evaluate the biochemical and physiological effects of adding quality protein maize BR473 to the diet of mice.
Methods
Female Swiss mice, 6-7 weeks old, were fed commercial diet alone or supplemented with either hybrid maize (1:1) or quality protein maize (1:1). Food intake, weight gain, abdominal obesity and plasma glucose, proteins, cholesterol and triglycerides levels were evaluated for 3 months.
Results
Dietary addition of the quality protein maize BR473 reduced food intake and abdominal fat, yet plasma glucose and triglycerides remained the same when compared with the addition of hybrid maize to the commercial feed.
Conclusion
A better dietary efficiency and the impacts on the biochemical parameters of the blood suggest that the quality protein maize BR473 is an important complement to guarantee dietary and nutritional security.
