Abstract

Introduction: In past few years, the use of protein supplements is popular among body builders, as the
strategy for weight control, and energy intake.
Aims: In the current study we aim to examine the effect of a protein supplement drink on oxidation-reduction
systems in mice liver tissues.
Material and Methods: Twenty mice were randomly separated into two groups. The first experimental
group; were feeding with a protein upplement and the other without protein supplement as a control groups
over 12 weeks.
Results: The results highlighted that body weight was significantly lower (P =0.001) in the protein supplement
group when compared with the second group. Additionally, we have observed significant differences in the
level of malondialdehyde, total protein carbonyl, nitric oxide, and glutathione oxidized in liver tissue of the
protein supplement group when compared with the control group.Conclusion: Protein supplement drinks
have a harmful toxic effect that can promote worse oxidative stress, especially on liver tissue, which could
elevate the risk for the development of liver diseases in the long time.
