Abstract

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic dis­order characterized by elevated blood glucose levels due to insulin resistance. Type 2 diabetes is considerably more prevalent than oth­er forms (85–90%). The risk of type 2 diabetes is higher in women (53.2%). There is an urgent requirement for better and more afforda­ble treatment options considering DM therapy is expensive and may have adverse health effects. The study's objective is to examine how acute toxicity, blood glucose levels, and body weight are affected by Moringa leaf ethanol extract (MLEE). Maceration was employed to eliminate the leaves of the moringa plant. Phytochemical screening was completed to assess the total flavonoid content and screen for alkaloids, flavonoids, phenolics, saponins, and tannins. Acute toxicity testing was performed following OECD guideline 423. Clinical symp­toms of acute toxicity were observed every 30 minutes for the first 24 hours post-treatment, followed by observations every 24 hours up to 14 days. The estimated LD50 range was determined. Streptozotocin/ nicotinamide-induced female Mus musculus was administered to eval­uate the antidiabetic potential of MLEE. Six groups of mice were uti­lized, which included a healthy control group (aquades not induced), a negative control group (induced aquades), a positive control group (induced glimepiride 0.8 mg/kg BW), and three treatment groups with varying dosages of MLEE (induced; 0, 100, and 150 mg/kg BW). A semi-auto chemical analyzer was employed on days 0 through 31 to determine blood glucose levels. An analytical digital balance was utilized to calculate the body weight. With a total flavonoid concen­tration of 20.75%, MLEE incorporated alkaloids, flavonoids, pheno­lics, saponins, and tannins. MLEE demonstrated a significant effect in lowering blood glucose levels at a dose of 100 mg/kg BW (P<0.05). A significant positive correlation has been identified between body weight and blood glucose levels (P<0.05).

Abstract

Background: Sustainable production of Robusta coffee (Coffea canephora) is constrained by the limited availability of high-quality planting materials, while information regarding the optimal auxin–cytokinin combinations for initiating callus cultures remains insufficient. Accordingly, this study was conducted to examine the effects of combined applications of benzyl amino purine (BAP) and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) on callus induction and subsequent growth derived from young leaf explants of Robusta coffee. Methodology: Explant cultures were established on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium enriched with different concentrations of 2,4-D (1, 1.5, and 2 ppm) in combination with BAP (1.5, 2, and 2.5 ppm), arranged in a completely randomized design with three replications. Data collection was conducted throughout a 30-day incubation period and included measurements of callus initiation time (days), callus formation percentage, callus growth intensity, and callus morphological features. The resulting data were analyzed statistically using analysis of variance (ANOVA), followed by the Kruskal–Wallis test. Findings: Result describe that the treatment combining 2,4-D at 1 ppm with BAP at 1.5 ppm produced the most favorable response, as indicated by the shortest callus initiation period (7.33 DAP). In contrast, the application of 2,4-D at 1 ppm in combination with BAP at 2.5 ppm achieved a 100% callus induction rate and the highest callus growth intensity (2 on a 5-point scale), along with a compact callus exhibiting a yellowish-green coloration. Overall, these results highlight the critical influence of auxin–cytokinin equilibrium in enhancing callus induction in Robusta coffee and underscore its significance as a foundational reference for establishing an efficient in vitro propagation strategy. Contribution: In general, this study contributes to providing important technical information supporting the large-scale and sustainable production of high-quality Robusta coffee seedlings
