Abstract

A research for determining antimicrobial activity from leaf extract of Syzygium cordatum to E. coli dan S. aureus has been conducted. This research was based on Kirby-Bauer method by using BHIB media and MHA agar. Five hundred gram of sample was dried then extracted with 1 litre methanol. The methanol extract obtained was evaporated with water bath at 50oC. Furthermore, antimicrobial activity test for E. coli and S. aureus was done in different concentration: 60%, 30%, 15%, and 7,5%. Inhibition activity of leaf extract of S. cordatum to S. aureus in 60% concentration is 16,5 mm. In concentration of 30%, 15%, and 7,5%, the inhibition activity for S. aureus were 14.5 mm, 13,5 mm, and 11 mm. Inhibition activity for positive control (Chloramphenicol) is 24,5 mm for E. coli and S. aureus. No inhibition activity was shown in negative control (methanol) for E. coli and S. aureus. There was no inhibition activity of leaf extract of S. cordatum for E. coli. In conclusion, leaf extract of S. cordatum have antimicrobial activity for S. aureus but not for E. coli. Furthermore, a research to identify this component have to be conducted. Key words: Antimicrobial, Sygyzium cordatum, Staphylococcus aureus, Eschericia coli, Kirby-Bauer method

Abstract

Hitherto, there was no study dedicated to analyze the effect of fasting associated enteroendocrine (EE) cell population remodelling on type 2 diabetes mellitus prevention. This article aimed at discussing the molecular and cellular mechanisms of fasting associated EE cell remodelling to type 2 diabetes mellitus prevention and estimating its effectiveness. It was shown that fasting could inhibit EE cell hyperplasia, thus decreased glucose dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) production from K and L cells. Both hormones caused hyperinsulinemia -via enteroinsular axis- and obesity when they interacted with their respective receptors GIPR and GLP-1R in pancreatic beta cell and adipocyte. This would cause insulin resistance through PI-3 kinase and Cb1. Thus, the levels of GIP and GLP-1 are diabetic predisposition factors. Another study also revealed that EE cell remodelling due to fasting had effective target site on type 2 diabetes mellitus prevention - and was also more superior than GIP and GLP-1 analogs. Key words: type 2 diabetes mellitus, fasting, enteroendocrine cell, GIP, GLP-1
