Abstract

Background: Diabetes mellitus occurs due to insulin resistance or absolute insulin deficiency as a result of damage to pancreatic beta cells. Long-term conditions of gluconeogenesis lead to auto-oxidation of glucose, protein glycation and activation of the polyol pathway which result in increased production of free radicals which is characterized by the formation of reactive oxygen compounds. Antioxidant compounds contained in Muntingia calabura L. leaves are expected to be able to protect liver cells from damage caused by free radicals with flavonoids as the dominant active compound. Aims: This study aims to test the effectiveness of Muntingia calabura L. leaf ethanol extract on the histological profile of diabetic rats.Methode:This research method is a laboratory experimental research, tissue staining using the hematoxylin eosin staining method. The result : showed that the liver histology of diabetic ratsafter therapy with ethanol extract of Muntingia calabura L. leaves at dose I, dose II and dose III did not appear to be significantly different. Similar to the group of DM rats treated with glibenclamide, the hepatocyte cells appeared to be still expe riencing enlargement, widening of the sinusoids and changes in parenchymatous cells. In addition, the ethanol extract of Muntingia calabura L. leaves dose I, II and III were also unable to regenerate the central vein. Conclusion: ethanol extract of Muntingia calabura L. leaf dose groups I, II and III were not effective in repairing hepatocyte necrosis.

Abstract

Background: Stingless bee honey is recognized for its therapeutic value, which is attributed to a diverse array of bioactive compounds.Objective:  This study aimed to compare the chemical profiles of honey from Tetragonula laeviceps and Itama sp. using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), focusing on antimicrobial constituents. Methods: Honey samples were collected from Bali, Indonesia, and analyzed using GC-MS. Compounds were identified through spectral matching with established libraries, and primary constituents were compared based on relative abundance.Results:  T. laeviceps honey showed a high concentration of the rare sugar allose (7.6%), azulene (1.02%), and octadecanoic acid (2.07%), whereas Itama honey exhibited elevated levels of levoglucosan (5.35%), aromatic esters, and 3-methyl-2-furylacetone (2.58%). Notably, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), known for its antimicrobial properties, was present in both samples at comparable levels (1–2%).Conclusions: The metabolite variations between the two species reflect differences in foraging and resin collection behavior, influencing honey bioactivity. The unique profiles suggest that both types of honey possess valuable antimicrobial potential and could serve as sources for developing novel anti-infective agents.

Abstract

Background: Every year on Sasih Kedasa, Besakih Temple holds a series of ceremonies called Ida Bhatara Turun Kabeh. The ceremony is held annually for approximately one and a half months. The workload of Pemangku and Pengayah during the ceremony, with a long duration and repetitiveness, is considered to cause physical fatigue, which leads to increased stress and an increased tendency to eat poorly. Pemangku and Pengayah are also vulnerable to sunburn, coffee, sleep loss, and dehydration while on duty. These factors trigger diabetes and spikes in blood glucose levels (BGL). Aims: To analyze the BGL of Pemangku and Pengayah in Besakih temple. Methods: It is observational research with a cross-sectional approach. Data collection was carried out by Point of Care Testing (POCT), supported by interviews with 66 respondents to determine individual conditions. The results: One of the adult female respondents shows low BGL (48 mg/dl). High BGL (335,2 mg/dl on average) was obtained from five respondents: adult women, older women, and three elderly men. The rest of the respondents show normal BGL, which is 125,6 mg/dl on average. Conclusions: As many as 1,5% had low, 7,6% had high, and 90,9 % had normal BGL of 66 Pemangku and Pengayah at Besakih Temple.

Abstract

Xenobiotic compounds are foreign substances that enter the body. These substances include drugs, insecticides, toluene, chloroform, formalin, and others that can enter by inhalation, through skin exposure or swallowed together with food. The use of xenobiotic compounds is increasing every year along with the development of the industrial sector, which impacts greater exposure for workers. Xenobiotic compounds that enter the body will cause harm to the body, and they will be detoxified in the liver. Xenobiotic compounds can bind to cytochrome p450 isoform 2E1, which will cause the formation of free radicals. A body exposed to xenobiotic compounds can respond by reducing free radicals using endogenous antioxidants. They are Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) and Glutathione Peroxidase (GPX). If the amount of free radicals exposure is too large, oxidative stress will occur. It triggers liver cell damage and release of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) into the blood vessels, which causes an increase in these enzymes in the blood.

Abstract

Background:  Diabetes mellitus (DM) type 2 is a metabolic disorder due to defects in insulin secretion. A microangiopathy complication of DM in the kidney can lead to renal enlargement. This augmentation in renal size can be attributed to several factors, including glomerular hypertrophy, tubular hypertrophy, and interstitial expansion. Retinoic acid, a vitamin A derivative, serves numerous cellular roles, including the induction of cell differentiation, the regulation of apoptosis, and exhibiting anti-inflammatory and antifibrotic properties.Objective: This study aims to evaluate the effect of vitamin A administration on the renal glomerular area in a rat model of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods: This study was experimental with five groups, including a negative control group, a positive diabetes mellitus group, and three groups of vitamin A treatment. The primary variable assessed was the glomerulus area across the different groups.Results: No significant decrease in glomerular area was observed in the vitamin A treatment group within the positive diabetes (ANOVA, p = 0.052).Conclusions: The findings of this study suggest that the administration of vitamin A does not significantly affect the reduction of renal glomerular area in rats with diabetes mellitus.
