The protective role of camel's milk on some hematological parameters of male rats infected with gastric ulcer

Abstract

The present study was carried out to investigate the protective role of camel's milk in some hematological parameters of male rats treated with ethanol (80%) to induce acute gastric lesions. Male rats weighted (280 – 300 g)were divided in five groups : (control group (I)) that were treated with (5ml/kg)  of physiological saline (0.85% NaCl), (milk group (II)) that were treated with (5ml/kg) of  raw camel's milk, (ulcer group (III) ) that were treated with (5ml/kg) of  ethanol (80%) and sacrificed after(24 hours),  (ulcer group(IV) )  that were treated with (5ml/kg) of ethanol (80%) and after (24 hours) treated with (5ml/kg)  of physiological saline,( treatment group (V)) initially treated with (5ml/kg) of  ethanol (80%) then after (24 hours) treated with (5ml/kg) of  raw camel's milk. The results showed a significant decrease (P ≤ 0.05) in (RBC, Hb, PCV, MCH and MCHC) in the ulcer groups (III) and (IV), while there was showed a significant increase (P ≤ 0.05) in (WBC, MCV) compared with control group(I), milk group (II) and treatment group (V).
