RÉSUMÉ
The effect of feeding four different dietary mixtures on liver function, antioxidant state, plasma lipids, plasma amino acids, body weight, food intake and food efficiency ratio was studied in rats with liver cirrhosis. The different dietary mixtures contain different protein levels with high Fischer ratio. Antioxidants' sources from fruits, legumes and cereals were added to the mixtures. The different dietary mixtures contain medium chain triglycerides' oil and corn oil with different ratios. Branched chain amino acids were added to two dietary mixtures. Honey was used as sweetener and antioxidant. An extra balanced diet of 10% protein supplemented from casein was evaluated. Different groups of rats in which liver cirrhosis was induced were fed the different aforementioned diets for 10 weeks. A control group of normal healthy rats was fed balanced diet. The results showed that feeding some of the previously mentioned dietary mixtures showed improvement of the measured parameters, while others did not produce any improvements
