Abstract

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disease characterized by persistently elevated blood sugar levels due to impaired insulin action or production. It is a global health concern, contributing to various complications such as retinopathy, neuropathy, and cardiovascular diseases. While antidiabetic medications have improved treatment options, challenges such as adverse effects, resistance, and high costs have fueled the interest in exploring natural alternatives, including Curcuma longa, commonly known as turmeric. This review aims to evaluate the potential of Curcuma longa as an antidiabetic agent by synthesizing data from existing literature. A systematic search of databases including PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar was conducted, focusing on studies from 2000 to 2024 that examined the pharmacological effects, mechanisms of action, and clinical applications of Curcuma longa in diabetes. The review highlights that curcumin, the active compound in Curcuma longa, significantly reduces blood glucose levels, improves insulin sensitivity, and exhibits anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Curcumin acts through multiple mechanisms, including the modulation of glucose transporters, activation of AMPK, reduction of oxidative stress, and inhibition of inflammatory cytokines. Preclinical and clinical studies demonstrate that curcumin can improve glycemic control, reduce insulin resistance, and prevent diabetes-related complications. Despite promising results, further clinical trials are needed to confirm its therapeutic potential. This review underscores the potential of Curcuma longa as a natural adjunct or alternative to conventional antidiabetic therapies.

Abstract

Indonesia is recognized as one of the world’s most biodiverse countries, with an estimated 17% of global plant and animal species found within its borders. This biodiversity supports a wealth of medicinal plants that have been traditionally utilized by local communities. However, rapid modernization has led to a decline in the transmission of ethnobotanical knowledge. This study investigates the ethnopharmacological practices in Sumberbrantas Village, Bumiaji District, Batu City, East Java, with a focus on the Family Use Value (FUV) approach to identify the most utilized plant families in traditional medicine. Data were collected through structured interviews with 70 respondents selected using purposive and snowball sampling techniques. The study analyzed the FUV and Fidelity Level (FL) of various plant species to determine their significance in traditional healing practices. Results indicate that the Zingiberaceae and Euphorbiaceae families have the highest FUV (0.45), highlighting their widespread use in treating various ailments. Conversely, the Oxalidaceae family exhibits the lowest FUV (0.01). The FL analysis shows that Allium cepa (shallot) has the highest fidelity level (75%), demonstrating its prominence in treating multiple conditions. This research provides critical insights into the preservation of ethnomedicinal knowledge and the sustainable use of medicinal plant resources. The findings serve as a valuable reference for conservation efforts and the development of community-based herbal medicine initiatives.

Abstract

Sex linkage is defined as the pattern of allele expression and inheritance associated with an individual's sex chromosomes. Sex-linked genes are genes located on the sex chromosomes. Genes associated with the X chromosome are referred to as X-linked genes or X chromosome genes. Color blindness is a condition in which a person is unable to distinguish certain wavelengths of light that can be differentiated by normal vision. The ratio of the index finger length (2D) compared to the ring finger length (4D) is an inherited trait influenced by sex-influenced gene expression. Patterns of baldness in humans, or androgenetic alopecia (AGA), are age-related conditions characterized by hair thinning, miniaturization, and hair loss. The objective of the research titled “Color Blindness and the Role of Sex-Influenced Genes” is to determine whether a person is color blind and to identify the genotype of each individual in a group based on the size of their index finger. The methods used include an online Ishihara test for color blindness, conducted by each subject using a prepared website. For the sex-influenced gene experiment, participants made patterns of their index, ring, and middle fingers on both hands on HVS paper, and the finger lengths were observed. The results showed that all participants were not color blind (normal), and some participants had longer index fingers, longer ring fingers, or equal lengths of the index and ring fingers.

Abstract

Respiratory tract infections (RTIs) remain a significant global health burden, particularly due to increasing antibiotic resistance. Natural compounds have gained interest as alternative therapies to address this challenge. This study explores the potential of cinnamon (Cinnamomum sp.) and jasmine (Jasminum sp.) as herbal remedies for RTI management. Cinnamon contains bioactive compounds such as cinnamaldehyde and eugenol, which exhibit antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. Jasmine, on the other hand, possesses linalool and benzyl acetate, which contribute to its bronchodilatory, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial effects. The synergistic interaction between these two botanicals may enhance immune response, reduce airway inflammation, and inhibit respiratory pathogens. This systematic review compiles evidence from in vitro, in vivo, and clinical studies to evaluate the efficacy of cinnamon and jasmine in RTI treatment. The findings suggest that both plants hold promise as complementary or alternative therapies, potentially reducing reliance on conventional antibiotics and mitigating antimicrobial resistance. Further clinical trials are recommended to confirm their therapeutic applications.

Abstract

Annona squamosa L. (Annonaceae) is a tropical evergreen fruit tree with a long history of traditional use across various cultures. Its fruit, known as srikayas, is commonly consumed fresh and used in candies, ice creams, and beverages. Different parts of A. squamosa have been widely applied in ethnomedicine as tonics, apophlegmatisants, coolants, abortifacients, and heart sedatives. Phytochemical studies have identified key bioactive compounds including annonaceous acetogenins (ACGs), diterpenes (DITs), alkaloids (ALKs), and cyclopeptides (CPs), with 33 diterpenes, 19 alkaloids, 88 acetogenins, and 13 cyclopeptides reported up to 2016. Extensive research reveals A. squamosa exhibits diverse pharmacological activities such as anticancer, antioxidant, antidiabetic, antihypertensive, hepatoprotective, antiparasitic, antimalarial, insecticidal, microbicidal, and molluscicidal effects. Notably, diterpenes and acetogenins contribute to its potent anticancer properties through apoptosis induction and cell cycle arrest. Leaf and seed extracts demonstrate significant antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, and hepatoprotective actions, while seed peptides exhibit vasorelaxant and hypotensive effects via calcium channel inhibition. This review integrates phytochemical, ethnopharmacological, and bioactivity data, highlighting the therapeutic potential of A. squamosa and encouraging further clinical studies to validate its medicinal applications.
