Abstract

The process of spontaneous labor is sensitive to the oxytocin hormone that causes uterine smooth muscle contraction as a receptor for the start of labor. Dates contains source of carbohydrates are simple sugars, iron, potassium, selenium, calcium, and flavonoids. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of date’s extracts (Phoenix dactilifera L) to the oxytocin hormone day 19 of gestation age of mice (Mus musculus L). This experiment devide dose of date extract into four groups, group I : control (no treatment), group II: 3 dates (3.12 mg/kg), group III 5 dates (5.2 mg/kg), and group IV 7 dates (7.28 mg/kg) to the oxytocin hormone. The research method is done by extracting palm ajwa with methanol. Treat made orally at the age of 14-19 days gestation. Measurement of oxytocin levels using ELISA at the age of pregnancy 19 days, showed the average number of levels of the oxytocin hormone in group I in the amount of 126.494 ng / L, the second group is equal to 124.169 ng / L, group III amounting to 129.041 ng / L, and group IV is equal to 132.252 ng / L. Overall extract dates with various doses of the treatment led to increased levels of the oxytocin hormone in mice. However, these increases did not show a significant effect, although the hormones oxytocin on uterine tissue of mice kept rising. Keywords: Dates extract, Oxitocin levels, Pregnant mice

Abstract

The number of patients with hyperglycemia in the world and in Indonesia is estimated to increase rapidly in the next 25 years. The content of cinnamaldehyde, flavonoids, polyphenols, and chromium in cinnamon thought to have an influence of hypoglycemia. This study aimed to determine the influence of cinnamon extract to a decrease of blood glucose levels in hyperglycemic rats induced by a single dose of alloxan as much as 125 mg/kg. This study was laboratory experiment by using RAL (Complete Randomize Design) with Pre-Post Test Control Group Design Research. Experimental animals used were male Wistar rats divided into 5 groups. KN was negative control group. KP was hyperglycemic positive control group. P1 was the first treatment group (a dose of 200 mg/kg). P2 was the second treatment group (a dose of 250 mg/kg). P3 was the third treatment group (a dose of 300 mg/kg). Cinnamon therapy was given orally for 14 days. The results of this research was tested statistically by using One Way ANOVA and showed that there were significant differences between the blood glucose levels in the treatment group with the positive and negative control groups. The conclusion was that the provision of cinnamon extract for 14 days could provide an influence of lowering blood glucose levels. Keywords: Blood glucose, Cinnamon, Hyperglicemia

Abstract

Maternal and child health is the first priority to be addressed as it is the source of future generations and indicators of progress of a nation. To maintain the health of mothers and children, one important factor is nutrition, one of which is a vegetarian who is often doubted by many people and considered unable to guarantee health. This paper aims to provide information about how vegetarianism is a valuable and supported nutrient if it can be arranged and properly arranged. The method in this research is literature study. All the nutrients obtained from animal sources can also be obtained from vegetable sources, as we know that animals eat plants. Thus, the elements contained in the animal body are the elements present in plants. So, food from vegetable is actually almost the same, as long as it can be arranged well in the menu. Nowadays vegetarians have been scientifically proven in developed countries, so the development of vegetarians is very advanced. Some nutrients such as essential amino acids, vitamin B12, iron (Fe) and other nutrients such as carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals and fiber are not problematic in pregnant women and vegetarian children, because these needs can be met from vegetable. Vegetarian is a nutrient derived from the meatless vegetation that is the result of the murder. But to complement the need for essential proteins need to be supplemented with milk or dairy products like cheese, yogurt and others. Keywords: Vegetarian, Health, Mother, Child

Abstract

Bee pollen, as an active ingredient in diabetes mellitus (DM) prevention and treatment, is able to reduce oxidative reactions and to regenerate cells. This study aimed to determine bee pollen effect on blood glucose levels of rats which induced by alloxan. This study used a completely randomized design with Pre-Post Test design and Control Group design. The subjects were 25 male wistar rats which divided randomly into 5 groups: (1) negative control group (non-DM rats); (2) positive control group (DM rats without bee pollen); (3) P1 group (DM rats with 0.25 g/day bee pollen); (4) P2 group (DM rats with 0.63 g/day bee pollen); and (5) P3 group (DM rats with 1.25 g/day bee pollen). Alloxan inducing was used to cause rats under DM or hyperglycemic conditions. The data were analyzed by Manova test and Tukey HSD test. Statistical analysis showed that bee pollen effectively had an effect on decreasing fasting blood glucose (FBG) levels in treatment groups with 0.002. Differences test showed a difference between positive control group and treatment groups, but there was no difference between all treatment groups. However, the bee pollen dosage which giving the lowest average of FBG was 0.25 g on P1 group. Keywords: Bee pollen, Blood glucose level, Alloxan

Abstract

Treatment of cardiovascular diseases tends to be expensive and requires long-term therapy. Investigation about the effect of pumpkin seeds on prevention of endothelial dysfunction of blood vessel has never been reported yet, accordingly, bodies of research are required to know its effectiveness. This study aimed to analyze the expression of Vascular Cell Adhesion Molecule (VCAM) in male Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus) with hypercholesterolemia supplemented with pumpkin seeds extract (Cucurbita moschata Duch). This was an experimental laboratory study with randomized post-test control group design. The independent variable was pumpkin seeds extract, and the dependent one was expression of VCAM. Data analysis employed chi-square test to test the difference between control and treatment groups. Study results showed that there was significant difference (p=0.000) between VCAM expression in group-K2 (positive control) as compared to group-K1 (negative control) and group-K5 (treatment group-dose 3) α=0.001, whereas no significant difference was found between that of as compared to group-K3 (treatment group-dose 1) α=0.125 and group-K4 (treatment group-dose 2) α=0.05. The study showed reduction of VCAM expression in treatment groups consisted of male Wistar rats with hypercholesterolemia supplemented with pumpkin seeds (Cucurbita moschata Duch) extract.
