Abstract

Consumption of fruit juice is an alternative for diabetic patients who cannot consume fresh. Banana is one of the recommended fruits for diabetic patients because it has flavonoid content. This study aims to evaluate the effect of Ambon banana juice on fasting blood glucose (FBG), triglycerides, and total cholesterol levels in diabetic Wistar rats. The type of research is an experimental laboratory study with a pre-posttest design. The research sample was 21 male Wistar rats divided into 3 groups, T1 (control), T2 (10% fructose), and T3 (4 ml of Ambon banana juice) which were administered for 21 days. The FBG, triglycerides, and total cholesterol levels were examined using the colourimetric enzymatic method. The data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA, and post hoc tests. Ambon banana juice can improve FBG levels compared to control (p less than 0.01). Ambon banana juice can increase triglyceride levels but is significantly different from T2 (p less than 0.01). Ambon banana juice did not significantly increase total cholesterol levels compared to T2 (p less than 0.01). In conclusion, Ambon banana juice was demonstrated to decrease FBG and did not increase triglyceride and total cholesterol levels.Konsumsi jus buah merupakan alternatif bagi penderita diabetes yang tidak dapat mengkonsumsi buah segar.

Abstract

Latar Belakang. Obesitas merupakan masalah baik di negara maju maupun negara berkembang dan selalu meningkat prevalensinya setiap tahun. Dampak obesitas berkaitan erat dengan penyakit metabolisme dan kardiovaskuler. Nasi gelatinisasi yang disimpan panas dan dingin menyebabkan retrogradasi dan oksidasi karbohidrat sehingga dapat meningkatkan jumlah pati resisten dan menurunkan IG (Indeks Glikemik) serta terbentuknya asam lemak rantai pendek (asetat, propianat, butirat). Pati resisten berperan dalam menurunkan kadar glukosa darah, sedangkan asam propianat berperan dalam sekresi hormon glucagon, GLP-1 dan PYY sehingga menekan nafsu makan dan menurunkan berat badan. Tujuan. Menganalisis pengaruh metode dan lama penyimpanan nasi gelatinisasi terhadap berat badan dan asam propianat pada obesitas. Metode. Desain penelitian adalah eksperimental pre-post controlled grup design dengan 65 responden obesitas dibagi dalam 5 kelompok perlakuan secara acak (Kontrol, P1, P2, P3, dan P4). Instrumen penelitian pengukuran komposisi tubuh dengan BIA (Biompedence Analysis) pre-post test, kadar asam propianat dengan VPA-GCMS (Volatil Fatty Acid - Gas Cromatography Mass Spectrometry) post test, dan food recall. Analisa statistik dengan Saphiro Wilk dan Paired t test atau Wilcoxon. Hasil. Metode dan lama penyimpanan nasi gelatinisasi berbeda nyata terhadap berat badan (p = 0,007 < 0,05) pada penyimpanan dingin 4 0C selama 48 jam (P4), sedangkan kadar asam propianat signifikan pada perlakuan (P4) yaitu (p = 0,000 < 0,05) sebanyak 0,26 mMol. Kesimpulan. Nasi gelatinisasi yang disimpan dingin pada suhu 4 0C (refrigerator) selama 48 jam dapat menurunkan berat badan dan meningkatkan asam propianat.

Abstract

Background: Elevated levels of Dyslipidaemia pose a significant threat to cardiovascular health. Fortunately, the abundance of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fatty acids (PUFA and MUFA) present in avocado oil offers a promising avenue for individuals with Dyslipidaemia to improve their lipid profile levels.Objectives: The objective of this research is to ascertain the potential of avocado oil in improving triglyceride and HDL levels.Methods: A pre-post test control group design was employed, utilizing male Wistar rats aged 8 weeks with a body weight ranging from 150-200 g. The mice were segregated into six groups: N, K-, K+, P1, P2, and P3. Throughout the trial, solely group N abstained from ingesting avocado oil or HC. Conversely, all other groups were administered HC and subsequently, K+ was prescribed simvastatin while P1, P2 and P3 received avocado oil for a duration of 28 days. The data was subjected to statistical analysis using SPSS vr.25. The statistical significance threshold was set at p<0.05.Results: Mean changes in levels (mg/dL) for TG -29.67 (P1), -48.99 (P2), -56.78 (P3) and for HDL 41.75 (P1), 46.35 (P2). There was a significant difference in TG and HDL levels between P1, P2, P3 when compared with K- (p<0.05).Conclusion: Avocado oil exhibits efficacy in lowering TG levels and elevating HDL levels, rendering it a viable option for daily consumption.

Abstract

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) progression is critically influenced by the androgen receptor (AR), Fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2), and transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) signaling axis. Although finasteride (FIN) is the standard therapeutic agent, its use is limited by adverse effects. This study evaluated the efficacy of Cosmos caudatus (CC) extract, administered alone or in combination with FIN, in modulating the AR–FGF-2–TGF-β axis in a testosterone-induced BPH rat model. Rats were divided into five groups (n = 6): Normal (N), BPH control (KN), FIN (KP; 0.44 mg/kg), CC extract (P1; 250 mg/kg), and combination (P2; CC 250 mg/kg + FIN 0.44 mg/kg). Prostatic AR, FGF-2, and TGF-β expression was analyzed using immunohistochemistry (IHC) with H-score quantification. Both KP and P1 significantly reduced AR (KP: 112 ± 15; P1: 105 ± 12 vs KN: 195 ± 18, p < 0.05) and FGF-2 (KP: 98 ± 14; P1: 92 ± 11 vs KN: 180 ± 20, p < 0.05), approaching normal values (AR N: 90 ± 10; FGF-2 N: 85 ± 9). In contrast, combination therapy (P2) failed to suppress AR (188 ± 17, p = 0.936) and FGF-2 (175 ± 19, p = 0.870) and induced a significant increase in TGF-β (P2: 145 ± 16 vs KN: 110 ± 12, p < 0.05). All treatment groups showed reduced epithelial thickness and prostate index (p < 0.05). These findings indicate that CC extract alone exerts therapeutic effects comparable to FIN by modulating the AR–FGF-2 axis, whereas combining it with FIN disrupts pathway regulation and promotes a pro-fibrotic response. The study supports the potential of CC extract as an effective alternative for BPH management without pharmacologic complications.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Diabetes mellitus induces oxidative stress, inflammation, and endothelial dysfunction, accelerating atherosclerosis development marked by elevated high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and interleukin-12 (IL-12). Diabetes often causes significant vascular changes, which can be represented by carotid tunica intima thickening and elevated renin level. Metformin, which remains as the standard therapy, has limited vascular effects. Vitamin D and magnesium exhibit vasoprotective and anti-inflammatory properties; however, their combined effects on diabetic vascular injury remain unclear. This study evaluated the effects of vitamin D and magnesium combination on serum hs-CRP, IL-12, renin, and carotid tunica intima thickness in diabetic rats.METHODS: Wistar rats were diabetic-induced by 45 mg/kg streptozotocin and 110 mg/kg nicotinamide. Following the induction, the rats were subsequently assigned to receive no treatment, metformin, or a combination of vitamin D and magnesium. Healthy rats were also included as control. Blood sample was collected after 21 days of treatment. Serum hs-CRP, IL-12, and renin were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), while the carotid tunica intima thickness was assessed by Doppler ultrasound.RESULTS: Diabetic rats showed significant increases hs-CRP, IL-12, renin level, and intima thickness (p<0.001) compared to control. Both metformin and combination of Vitamin D and magnesium reduced these parameters, with combination of Vitamin D and magnesium showing the greatest improvement. Carotid intima thickness in the combination of Vitamin D and magnesium group was comparable to normal controls, indicating marked vascular protection.CONCLUSION: Vitamin D and magnesium combination provided superior glycemic, anti-inflammatory, and vascular protective effects compared to metformin alone. This adjunctive strategy might have potential in preventing vascular complications in diabetes.KEYWORDS: diabetes mellitus, oxidative stress, endothelial dysfunction, hs-CRP, IL-12, atherosclerosis

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis, which often causes infertility, is characterized by a complex interplay between oxidative stress, inflammatory response, and apoptosis. Currently, the most effective therapy used for endometriosis is hormonal treatments, however it has many common side effects. Therefore, it is necessary to explore alternative treatments for endometriosis, including herbal ingredients. Phaleria macrocarpa fruit contains flavonoids with strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties which have potency to improve fertility in endometriosis cases. However, assessments of whether P. macrocarpa might have any effect on oxidative stress, inflammatory response, and apoptosis in relation to endometriosis are still limited. This study was conducted to identify the effect of P. macrocarpa fruit ethanol extract (PMFEE) in improving infertility by assessing oxidative stress, inflammatory response, and apoptosis parameters in endometriosis mice model.METHODS: Female Balb/C mice were endometriosis-induced, and treated either with 6.5 µg/day Letrozole, 7.5 mg/kgBW/day PMFEE, or 15 mg/kgBW/day PMFEE for 14 days. Heatlhy mice were also included as control. Mice were necropsied, then the uterus and fat tissue around the uterus was collected. Malondialdehyde (MDA) as oxidative stress marker, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α as inflammatory marker, and Caspase-3 as apoptosis marker were assessed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).RESULTS: In uterus, MDA and TNF-α levels were significantly different among all groups (p<0.05). PMFEE both at 7.5 and 15 mg/kgBW/day lowered MDA and TNF-α compared to the healthy mice and mice receiving Letrozol. Meanwhile, Caspase-3 levels were quite indifferent among groups, showing that PMFEE was able to maintain the Caspase-3 levels in the endometriosis-induced mice.CONCLUSION: PMFEE reduces the MDA and TNF-α, also maintains Caspase-3 levels in the uterus of endometriosis-induced mice, suggesting it might have potential to improve fertility in endometriosis mice.KEYWORDS: Phaleria macrocarpa, endometriosis, infertility, MDA, TNF-α, Caspase-3
