Abstract

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disease characterized by hyperglycemia due to impaired insulin secretion or action. Diabetic nephropathy, a microvascular complication of type 2 DM, causes damage to kidney function due to progressive hyperglycemia. This study analyzed the potential of durian seed extract in reducing blood sugar levels (KGD) and improving kidney function and histopathological features in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced Wistar rats. Rats were divided into six groups: normal, positive control (STZ + metformin), negative control (STZ), and three treatment groups with durian seed extract doses of 150, 300, and 450 mg/kgBB. The extract was given for 14 days, followed by examination of kidney function and histopathology. The results showed that a dose of 450 mg/kgBB was most effective in reducing KGD, equivalent to metformin, which could improve kidney function and histopathology. Durian seed extract 450 mg/kgBB has the potential as an effective antidiabetic in reducing kidney damage.

It is in line with the histological study that the gel concentration increased, followed by the growth of the epidermal layer. This study sstrongly indicates that Sunkist orange peel methanol extract has an antiacne effect in a physically stable gel form.

Abstract

Hypertension is a leading global cause of mortality, with a high prevalence among the elderly. Dietary patterns constitute a modifiable risk factor. This study aimed to analyse the association between dietary patterns and the incidence of hypertension among the elderly. A quantitative study with a cross-sectional design was conducted at the Medan Johor Community Health Centre. A sample of 90 elderly individuals was selected via purposive sampling. Dietary data were collected using a Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ), and blood pressure was measured using a sphygmomanometer. Data analysis employed the Chi-Square test. A total of 72.2% of respondents had hypertension, and 65.6% had poor dietary patterns. Bivariate analysis indicated a significant association between dietary patterns and the incidence of hypertension (p-value = 0.022; OR = 0.268). Elderly individuals with poor dietary patterns had a 0.268 times higher risk of hypertension compared to those with good dietary patterns. A significant association exists between poor dietary patterns and the incidence of hypertension among the elderly at the Medan Johor Community Health Centre. Promotive and preventive efforts through balanced nutrition education are essential.
