Abstract

Metabolic diseases, including type 2 diabetes mellitus, obesity, metabolic syndrome, dyslipidemia, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, are commonly associated with chronic low-grade inflammation. Ginger (Zingiber officinale) contains bioactive compounds with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that may support the management of these conditions. This literature review aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of ginger supplementation in reducing inflammatory markers in patients with metabolic diseases. Articles published between 2021 and 2026 were identified through PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, SpringerLink, and Google Scholar using combinations of keywords related to ginger, metabolic diseases, and inflammatory markers. Articles were selected based on predefined inclusion criteria, and 15 studies were included in the final synthesis. Most studies reported that ginger supplementation reduced major inflammatory markers, particularly C-reactive protein, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and interleukin-6. Ginger also produced additional improvements in fasting blood glucose, glycated hemoglobin, insulin resistance, lipid profiles, body weight, body composition, and antioxidant status. These effects are primarily attributed to gingerol, shogaol, paradol, and zingerone, which inhibit nuclear factor-kappa B activation, suppress pro-inflammatory cytokine production, and strengthen antioxidant defenses. Overall, ginger shows potential as a safe, accessible, and economical complementary intervention for controlling inflammation in metabolic diseases. Nevertheless, further clinical trials with larger samples and standardized dosages, formulations, and intervention periods are needed to confirm its clinical effectivenes.

Abstract

Integrating Islamic values into medical education strengthens professionalism by combining clinical competence with moral and spiritual integrity. In the medical context, these values enhance empathy, compassion, and ethical conduct toward patients, families, and colleagues. To evaluate the implementation of Islamic values—tahsinul qiraah of QS. Al-Fatihah, memorization of selected Qur’anic verses and prayers, and demonstration of Islamic etiquette—in strengthening professionalism among medical students at the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Muslim Indonesia. A descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted with 24 clinical clerkship students completing rotations in July 2023, selected through purposive sampling. Assessment tools included standardized evaluation forms for tahsin, memorization, and patient-reported etiquette. Performance was categorized as mumtaz (80–100), ahsan (70–79), kaafii (60–69), and sayyi’ (<59). In tahsinul qiraah, 17 students (70.8%) achieved mumtaz and 7 (29.2%) ahsan. In memorization, 18 students (75%) attained mumtaz and 6 (25%) ahsan. For Islamic etiquette, 14 students (58.3%) “often” demonstrated appropriate manners, while 10 (41.7%) did so “sometimes”; none reported “never”. The strong performance in recitation and memorization reflects nearly two years of targeted training during clinical clerkship. However, etiquette implementation remains suboptimal due to limited habituation, time constraints during visits, an emphasis on medical over spiritual care, and the absence of etiquette as a summative assessment criterion. Recitation and memorization outcomes are well achieved, but Islamic etiquette in clinical practice requires reinforcement. Structured training and direct supervision by Islamic Medical Discipline (IDIK) faculty during patient encounters are recommended to embed spiritual care in medical services.
