RESUMEN
<b>Background and Objective:</b> Levofloxacin (LFX) is a wide-spectrum antibiotic that is used to treat many types of infections. Camel milk (CM) and camel whey protein (CWP) are natural antioxidants that work as dietary supplements that enhance immune defenses. The goal of this study was to estimate the therapeutic efficacy of camel whey protein and camel milk, in addition to the toxic effects of the antibiotic levofloxacin. <b>Materials and Methods:</b> As 42 male albino rats were divided as follows: G1: Control, G2: CM orally for 15 days, G3: CWP orally for 15 days, G4: LFX orally for 10 days, G5: LFX for 10 days and followed with CM daily for 15 days and G6: LFX for 10 days followed by CWP orally for 15 days. At the end of the study blood sera from all groups were collected for estimation of serum total protein, albumin, globulins and glucose. Sections of the liver and kidney were separated for estimation of GSH, CAT, GSH-PX. All data were statistically analyzed using analysis of variance. <b>Results:</b> The LFX treatment induced a decrease in serum levels of proteinogram, glucose, hepatic and renal values of oxidative stress and raising values of serum kidney and liver functions, hepatic and renal MDA. The treatment of LFX-treated rats with CWP led to a more increase in serum proteinogram, glucose, hepatic and renal (GSH, CAT, GSH-PX) a decline in serum values of (urea, ALAT, ASAT, ALP, BIL, T.P, D. BIL, Ind. BIL creatinine), hepatic and renal MDA than the treatment with CWP did. <b>Conclusion:</b> The use of CWP after LFX-treatment showed greater therapeutic potency than the use of CM.
