Abstract

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease, resulting from defects in insulin secretion, insulin action, or both. Indonesia ranked 7 out of 10 on countries with the most highest number of diabetic patient. Oxidative stress and high blood glucose level were occurring under diabetic condition. High prevalence of diabetes and expensive cost for treatment lead to development of alternative treatment for diabetes. Alkaline water with pH>7 acts as antioxidant and had been proven to lower blood glucose level via increase in glucose uptake. Metformin is the first line drugs for type 2 diabetes. The aim of this research was to compare the effect of alkaline water and metformin on blood glucose level of diabetic model rats. Methods: This research was experimental laboratory with the randomized pre and post test controlled-group design. This research was using 24 in total of 2 months old male Wistar albino rats weighting 180-200 g. Rats induced by alloxan 155mg/kg bw on the first day, then randomly divided into 4 groups with different treatments. Negative control group (K-) was given aquadest, positive control (K+) metformin 9mg/200g bw, Alkaline water 1 (Alk1) 23 ml, and alkaline water 2 (Alk2) 46 ml of alkaline water. These treatment was given once daily on the 5th until 12th day. Blood glucose level was measured three times: before induced by alloxan, after induced by alloxan, and post-treatment. Data were analyzed using repeated measures ANOVA (? = 0.05) followed by Multiple Comparisons LSD (? = 0.05).Result: The mean of post-treatment blood glucose level on K-, K+, Alk1, Alk2 respectively (in mg/dl) were 242.3350,06; 67.8312.90; 71.838,37; 70.839.72. The result of Repeated Measures Anova showed significant difference on mean blood glucose level (p=0.000). The result of LSD on mean of blood glucose level reduction showed significant difference (p=0.000) between K- and K+, K- and Alk1, K- and Alk2. The results of LSD showed no significant difference between K+ and Alk1 (p=0.536) as well as K+ and Alk2 (p=0.280).Conclusions: Alkaline water has comparable effect with metformin on blood glucose level of diabetic model rats.Keywords: alkaline water, metformin, blood glucose level, alloxan

Abstract

Introduction: Al Qur'an is Allah Subhanahuwataalas words which was sent as a miracle to Prophet Muhammad Sallallahualaihiwasallam as a guidance for mankind. Listening to Quran recitation (murattal) is known to increase the activity of alpha wave better than listening to classical music. In the previous study, listening to classical music is known to expand the spatial memory of albino rats. This study aimed to determine the effect of Al-Quran murattal exposure on albino rats (Rattus norvegicus)spatial memory.Methods: This experimental study was conducted in the Anatomy and Embryology Laboratory at FK UNS. A total of 14 male Wistar rats aged 14-21 days old were used as samples in this experiment.Samples were divided into control group (KK)and intervention group (KP) using randomized technique. KPwas exposed tomurattalaudio fromsurah Al-Baqarahby Syaikh Fahd Al-Kanderi through active speaker 12 hours/day for 28 days. The soundintensity ranged from 65-80dB was measured using sound level meter. The level of spatial memory was tested using Morris Water Maze test on the 29th to 33rdday. Probe test and sensorimotoric test was conducted on the 34th day. The resultthen analyzed with Independent t-Test and Mann Whitney (? = 0,05). Results: Spatial learning test shows average escape latency in KKand KP on the 1st dayat 35.55 and 33.20 seconds (s) respectively(p = 0.545), 2nd day (20.67s and 20.75s, p = 0.989), 3rd day (12.32s and 11.83s, p = 1.000), 4th day (15.78s and 10.37s, p = 0.036), 5th day (10.85s and 13.75s, p = 0,567). The probe test showed a significant difference (13,12s and 17.27s, p = 0,012) and sensorimotoric test did not show any significant difference (5.71s and 6.00s, p = 0,823). Conclusion: The Probe Test result indicated that Al-Quran murattal exposure increases the Spatial Memory persistence in Rats (Rattus norvegicus).
