The objective of this study was to change the normal diet of adult rats for nearly 21 days, the blood sample taken for comparison of changes in some blood parameters. The rats were kept in the metabolic cages separately and their body weight, consumption of food and water, urine volume, the levels of serum glucose, insulin and C-peptide quantities in all animals are measured and then these quantities are compared. No significant differences observed in RBC 1012/L and MCHC g/dL. The high level of carbohydrates sources in rat diets in term of wheat and barley increased significantly each of HGB g/dL and HCT percent. The liver function tests studied were differ within the different groups as the control was higher significantly in S. Globulin. The ALT was higher significantly in each of control, 4th and 5th groups. AST was higher also in 4th and 5th groups. The CRP was higher in 5th group. No significant differences observed in each of Total Protein and Albumin.
