Abstract

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) sufferers in the world and even inIndonesia are expected to continue to increase, especially type 2 DM(DMT2). DMT2 often occurs in people who are obese, the cause of obesityis often consuming foods that contain a lot of fat. Hyperlipidemia plays arole in the pathogenesis of pancreatic β-cell dysfunction.Research method: This study is an experimental laboratory study with apretest-posttest only controlled group design, using male white rats(Rattus norvegicus) with a sample size of 30 divided into 6 groups, namelythe normal group, the negative control group, the positive control group,the group given a high fatty diet (HFD). The independent variable is HFD,while the dependent variable is blood sugar levels. Data were analyzedusing the Anova test.Results: Giving HFD of 4 ml/day for 4 weeks has not been able to increaseKGD to hyperglycemic, this is thought to be because the HFD was notgiven for long enough so that insulin resistance had not occurred in thetest animals.Conclusion: Based on the results of the study, it was concluded that givingHFD for 4 weeks still could not increase KGD in male white mice tobecome hyperglycemic

Abstract

Excessive acute inflammation causes oedema and tissue injury, while conventional anti-inflammatory drugs are limited by adverse effects. Centella asiatica contains bioactive compounds with anti-inflammatory and pro-healing properties; VEGF and FGF2 mediate angiogenesis and tissue repair. To evaluate the effect of C. asiatica leaf ethanol extract on serum VEGF and FGF2 levels and paw histopathology in rats with acute inflammation. Thirty male Wistar rats were randomised into five groups: normal, negative control (carrageenan), positive control (sodium diclofenac), and extract 2 and 4 g/kgBW orally. Acute inflammation was induced by subplantar carrageenan; paw volume, serum VEGF and FGF2 (ELISA), and haematoxylin-eosin histopathology were assessed. Data were analysed by ANOVA and post hoc LSD. FGF2 differed significantly among groups (p<0.001); carrageenan lowered FGF2 whereas the extract increased it (2 g/kgBW 410.76; 4 g/kgBW 335.42 pg/mL). VEGF was unchanged (p=0.713). The 4 g/kgBW dose reduced oedema and neutrophil infiltration comparably to the positive control. C. asiatica leaf ethanol extracts increased FGF2 and improved acute-inflammation histopathology, particularly at 4 g/kgBW.

Abstract

Conventional anti-inflammatory therapies with NSAIDs and glucocorticoids are limited by gastrointestinal, renal, and metabolic side effects, thus encouraging the search for plant-based alternatives. Gotu kola leaves (Centella asiatica (L.) Urban) are rich in triterpenoids and flavonoids which are reported to have anti-inflammatory and wound-healing activities. This study aimed to analyze the effect of gotu kola leaf ethanol extract on tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), malondialdehyde (MDA), and leg edema volume in male Wistar rats with carrageenan-induced acute inflammation model. Thirty rats were randomized into five groups (n=6): normal, negative control (carrageenan), positive control (carrageenan + sodium diclofenac), and two extract treatment groups of 2 g/kgBB and 4 g/kgBB orally. Edema was measured with a plethysmometer in the first minute and every hour for 4 hours; Serum TNF-α, PDGF, and MDA levels were measured by ELISA. Data were analyzed with one-way ANOVA and LSD follow-up test (α=0.05). Screening for positive phytochemicals of flavonoids, alkaloids, saponins, tannins, phenols, glycosides, and steroids/triterpenoids. PDGF levels differed significantly between groups (p=0.001), highest in the 4 g/kgBB group (2.14±0.12 ng/mL) and lowest in the negative control (1.66±0.10 ng/mL). The volume of edema was significantly different at the beginning and 1st hour (p=0.001) but not at the 2nd to 4th hour. The levels of TNF-α (p=0.423) and MDA (p=0.072) were not significantly different. Ethanol extract of Centella asiatica leaves, especially at a dose of 4 g/kgBB, increased PDGF and decreased early-phase edema, showing modulation potential towards tissue repair, but had no significant effect on TNF-α and MDA in this acute model.
