Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is a severe and persistent illness caused by insufficient production of insulin, a hormone responsible for regulating blood glucose levels, by the pancreas. Diabetes mellitus is a significant public health issue, and its incidence is expected to rise over the next several decades. This study aims to investigate the impact of nutmeg (Myristica fragrans Houtt) pulp extract on the pancreatic histopathology of diabetic white rats (Rattus novergicus). According to research findings, a dose of 100 mg/kgBW of nutmeg pulp extract has been found to effectively lower blood sugar levels without causing harm to the pancreas. On the other hand, doses of 200 mg/kgBW and 300 mg/kgBW of nutmeg pulp extract can drop blood sugar levels, but they have certain side effects. cause harm to the pancreas organ

Abstract

This study explored the free radical scavenging potential of Jatropha curcas L. leaves, focusing on identifying active biochemical constituents and evaluating antioxidant efficacy through a series of extraction and chemical analysis procedures. Phytochemical screening confirmed the presence of several bioactive secondary metabolites, including alkaloids, saponins, triterpenoids, tannins, and flavonoids. In the Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Power (FRAP) assay, the ethyl-acetate fraction exhibited the highest level of antioxidant activity (9.19 ± 0.38 µmol TE/g), significantly higher than that of the ethanol extract (3.52 ± 0.71 µmol TE/g), as well as the aqueous and n-hexane fractions. This value corresponds to strong activity according to the TEAC classification, indicating that Jatropha curcas leaves are a promising source of natural antioxidants. The total phenolic content (TPC) was determined to be 6.78 ± 0.27% GAE, while the total flavonoid content (TFC) measured 1.35 ± 0.07% QE. These findings indicate that phenolic and flavonoid constituents play a primary role in the antioxidant activity of the extract. Variations significantly influenced the observed outcomes in the extraction methodology and solvent polarity. In summary, Jatropha curcas leaves possess substantial antioxidant potential, particularly within the ethyl-acetate fraction, supporting further development for nutraceutical and pharmaceutical applications.

Abstract

Background: Hyperglycemia can occur due to insulin resistance, which affects the metabolism of lipids, carbohydrates, proteins, and fatty acids in the liver, which will ultimately cause cirrhosis, steatohepatitis, liver cancer, and other liver disorders.Objectives: To determine the effect of administering nutmeg pulp extract (Myristica fragrans H.) on the histopathological picture of the liver of hyperglycemic mice induced by high carbohydrate feed.Methods: The research was carried out using an experimental method using 25 white rats (Rattus norvegicus) of the Wistar strain, which were divided into five groups, K- (NaCMC 1%), K+ (Metformin), P1-P3 respectively Nutmeg extract 100mg/kgBW, 200mg/kgBB, 300mg/kgBB). The entire group was given high carbohydrate feed for 30 days, then extract and Metformin for seven days. On the 36th day, the liver was removed, and histopathology preparations were made. The main research outcome parameters include initial blood sugar levels before induction (T0), final day blood sugar levels (T30), blood sugar levels on days 1, 3, 5, and 7 after sample administration, liver weight, and liver severity score. The data obtained were analyzed using Oneway-Anova with a significance of 0.05, and LSD as a further testResults: The K+, P1, and P3 groups showed a significant reduction in sugar compared to the control group (p<0.05), but all groups did not show an improvement in liver histopathology with damage scores in the mild to severe damage category.Conclusion: Nutmeg pulp extract at doses of 100mg/kgBB, 200mg/kgBB, and 300mg/kgBB showed effectiveness in reducing blood sugar in hyperglycemic white mice but could not show optimal improvement in liver cell damage.Keywords:Diabetes mellitus, Histopatology, Liver, Myristica fragrans, Nutmeg Flesh.
