Abstract

Activity Test of VipAlbumin® against Blood Glucose Levels and Lymfhocytes Profiles in Balb/c mice as Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus model   Ganys Tri Silvana1), Muhaimin Rifa’i2) 1) Biology Department, Faculty of Science, Brawijaya University, Malang, Indonesia   Abstract Diabetes mellitus (DM) has a prevalence that is increase from year to year, so we need an effective and economical drugs to cope. VipAlbumin® have high antioxidant content, so it can be used as an effective diabetes therapy. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect VipAlbumin® derived from Fish Cork (Channa striata) in decreasing blood glucose levels and assessing relative number of T cells. Mice models of  diabetes mellitus (DM) were created by injecting treptozotocin in  mice at the age of 5 days (streptozotocin in 1 ml of citrate buffer solution, a dose of 100 mg / kg BW). Mice were divided into 5 groups (Normal mice, DM, DM-D1, DM-D2 and DM-D3). After 3 weeks, the levels of blood glucose was examined and then oral therapy with VipAlbumin® was performed for 15 days. Profiles of CD4+, CD8+, and CD4+CD62L+ T cells were analyzed by flow cytometry by isolating splenic cells. One-way ANOVA was used to analyze the data. The differences between groups were considered significant at P<0.05. All results were presented as the mean of ± SD values of 5 mice in each group. In this experiment we showed that VipAlbumin® have a capability to prevent T cells activation by increasing naïve type status of both CD4 and CD8 population in mice model of DM. The number of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells decreased significantly in a dose of D3. Effective dose to decrease blood sugar in mice with type 2 diabetes is on the D3.   Keyword : Diabetes Melitus, Flowcytometry, Lympocytes, Streptozotocin, VipAlbumin®.

Abstract

Indonesia is one country that is rich will flora and fauna which are biological resources. Plant secondary metabolites is a resource that is used for drugs. Besides can be extracted directly from the plant, also can be synthesized to obtain chemical compounds or their derivatives, through the development of cell culture. The impact of the use of synthetic pesticides / chemicals have an impact that is not good for health and cause disruption of the ecological balance. This paper aims to determine the potential utilization of secondary metabolites in plant soursop (Annona murricata) and sugar apple (Annona squamosa) as botanical pesticides to control pests and plant diseases. Plants soursop (Annona muricata) and sugar apple (Annona squamosa) has potential as a pesticide plant in controlling pests and diseases in plants. Results of phytochemical screening on extracts of leaves of the soursop (Annona muricata) found secondary metabolites: alkaloids, flavonoids, terpenoids, coumarin and lactones, anthraquinone, tannins, glycosides, phenols, phytosterols, and saponins, while the detection of the presence of a group of chemical compounds in seed extracts Soursop ( Annona muricata) and sugar apple (Annona squamosa), found secondary metabolites: alkaloids, flavonoids, polyphenols, terpenoids, coumarin, steroids, lactones, anthraquinone, tannins, glycosides, and saponins cyanadin. Natural pesticides are reducing pests, but is not directly Plant Pest Organisms (PPO) pests quickly. Natural pesticide application with the correct dose, can reduce pests, reduce costs and be environmentally friendly.
