Abstract

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder characterized by elevated blood glucose caused by insulin resistance and impaired insulin production by pancreatic β-cells due to oxidative stress. Kratom (Mitragyna speciosa) has been widely investigated for its antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant effects, attributed to its alkaloid, flavonoid, phenolic, and saponin contents. This study aimed to evaluate the potential of topical kratom hydrogel as an innovative approach to improving pancreatic histology in type 2 diabetic mice, which has not been previously reported. Methods: Fifteen mice were divided into three groups: untreated diabetic group (DM), diabetic group treated with 5% kratom hydrogel (K5), and diabetic group treated with 15% kratom hydrogel (K15). Treatments were administered for two weeks. Parameters assessed included the percentage of healthy β-cells and acinar cells, as well as histological scoring of islet damage. Data were analyzed using parametric or non-parametric tests according to the normality distribution of each parameter. Results: Administration of 5% kratom hydrogel significantly increased the percentage of healthy β-cells (p<0.05) compared with 15% kratom hydrogel, which unexpectedly showed a lower proportion of healthy cells than the untreated group. Interestingly, the higher dose appeared to exert more toxic effects, whereas the lower dose provided better protective effects. No significant differences were observed in acinar cell parameters or islet damage scores, possibly due to the limited sample size. Conclusion: These findings provide preliminary evidence supporting the systemic therapeutic potential of topical kratom hydrogel, particularly in determining the effective dose and the need for larger sample sizes to obtain more consistent outcomes.

Abstract

Introduction: Burns are serious injuries that not only damage the skin but can also affect internal organs such as the liver. Severe inflammation following burn injury increases hepatocyte vulnerability, especially in diabetic conditions. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of topical kratom (Mitragyna speciosa) hydrogel on liver histopathology in streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice with burn injuries. Methods: An in vivo experimental study with a post-test-only control group design was conducted using 15 male musmusculus. Diabetes mellitus was induced prior to burn injury, and hyperglycemia was confirmed before further procedures. The diabetic mice were then randomly assigned into three groups: diabetic burn injury without hydrogel treatment (K), diabetic burn injury treated with 5% kratom hydrogel (T1), and diabetic burn injury treated with 15% kratom hydrogel (T2). The respective treatments were applied for four weeks. Following the intervention period, liver tissues were collected for histopathological analysis. Hepatocyte damage was quantitatively assessed and analyzed using one-way ANOVA followed by Dunnett’s post hoc test. Results: The diabetic burn injury control group exhibited the greatest extent of hepatocyte damage (66.5 ± 5.0%). Application of 5% kratom hydrogel (49.5 ± 4.0%) and 15% kratom hydrogel (52.5 ± 4.0%) resulted in a statistically significant reduction in hepatocyte injury compared with the diabetic control group (p = 0.0043 and p = 0.0131, respectively). Conclusions: Topical administration of kratom hydrogel significantly attenuated hepatocyte damage in diabetic mice subjected to burn injuries, suggesting a hepatoprotective effect and potential benefits for preserving liver function under diabetic burn conditions.
