Abstract
*Dietary fibers are indigestible portions of plant that are structural and storage polysaccharides. They are unable to digest by human gastro intestine due to lack of enzymes essential for digestion. Hyperlipidemia is a state characterized by the elevated level of any or all lipids and/or lipoproteins in the blood. This research is designed to study the effect of wheat porridge on hyperlipidemia, blood glucose level and body weight. Rat’s species were selected as human representative. Elevated lipids level (total cholesterol, high density lipoproteins, low density lipoproteins and triglycerides) raise the risk of coronary heart diseases. Twenty four hyperlipidemia rats were randomly divided into four groups. Each group was provided wheat porridge with different concentration while first group was considered as control group. Blood samples were collected to examine lipid profile and sugar level. Body weight was also measured. Thus the data was subjected to analysis of variance. The present study was conducted to determine the effect of natural dietary fiber wheat porridge on lipid profile, body weight and serum glucose level. Wheat porridge showed minor reduction in body weight, serum glucose and serum triglycerides and also little rise high density lipoprotein but the results were insignificant. While
