Background: Artificial sweeteners can cause glucose intolerance, which is a condition where the glucose in the blood is abnormal. Purpose: This research was conducted to determine the difference in blood glucose levels of mice as experimental animals that were given sugarcane juice as a natural sweetener and cyclamate solution as an artificial sweetener. Methods: The research method applied was laboratory experimental followed by checking blood glucose levels using a GCU easy touch glucometer and the data analysis method used was descriptive analysis. Results: the average blood sugar before treatment was P0 (control) 110 mg/dl, P1 (test animals given sugarcane juice solution) 63 mg/dl, P2 (test animals given sodium cyclamate solution) 69.5 mg/dl . Then, the average blood sugar after treatment was, P0 (control) 77.5 mg/dl, P1 (test animals given sugar cane juice) 81.5 mg/dl, P2 (test animals given cyclamate solution) 101.5 mg/dl etc. From this data, it was obtained that the level of glucose in the blood decreased by an average of 32.5 for P0. Then, there was an increase in blood glucose levels with an average of 18.5 for P1. In addition, there was an increase in blood glucose levels with an average of 32 for P2. Blood sugar levels in the treatments given cyclamate and sugar cane juice both experienced an insignificant increase in blood sugar, but within two weeks the average increase in blood sugar was highest in the treatment given cyclamate. Conclusion: There are differences in blood glucose levels of mice as experimental animals given sugarcane juice as a natural sweetener and cyclamate solution as an artificial sweetener.

The Potency of Antidiabetic of Psidium guajava Fruit Extract Against Streptozotocin-induced Type 2 Diabetic Rats

2024-06-05T02:33:36+07:00

Background: The chronic disease known as diabetes mellitus is brought on by either the pancreas's inability to make enough insulin or the body's inability to use it. Purpose: This plant finds applications for treating diarrhea, dysentery, gastroenteritis, hypertension, diabetes, caries and pain relief. Purpose: The current study aimed to determine how Psidium guajava fruit extract affected the blood glucose, body weights, and insulin levels of streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats over 21 days. Methods: The extract's effectiveness was compared to that of glibenclamide, a common hypoglycemic medication. 30 male Wistar albino rats were divided into 5 groups with 6 animals in each group. V: Normal control (Group-I), diabetic control (Group-II), diabetic rats treated with glibenclamide 0.6mg/kg bw (Group-III), diabetic rats treated with Psidium guajava fruit extract 200 mg/kg bw (Group-IV) and Psidium guajava fruit extract 400 mg/kg bw (Group-V). All group of rats were subjected to evaluation of body weight, blood glucose and serum insulin levels on day 0, 7, 14 and 21 of the experiment. Results: There was significant (P<0.05) decrease in body weight and serum insulin and significant (P<0.05) increase in blood glucose level in Group-II compared to Group-I rats. In the Present study, daily oral administration of Psidium guajava fruit extract at dose rate of 200 and 400 mg/kg bw and glibenclamide at 0.6mg/kg bw in diabetic rats for 21 days showed a progressive improvement in body weight, blood glucose and serum insulin concentration. Conclusion: It can therefore be concluded the results of this study indicate that Psidium guajava fruit extract possesses anti-diabetic properties in Wistar albino rats.

Protective Effects of Thymoquinone on Endothelial Cell Dysfunction in Hypercholesterolemia

2024-06-05T02:34:07+07:00

Background: Increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been implicated as important mechanisms that contribute to endothelial dysfunction (ED). The administration of thymoquinone in animal models significantly inhibits ROS production. Purpose: The protective effects of thymoquinone on endothelial cell dysfunction were studied in cholesterol-fed rabbits. Thirty rabbits were randomly divided into five groups. Methods: The negative control group was fed a standard diet, the positive control group was fed the same diet with 2 % cholesterol, the Thymoquinone group was fed the same diet with 2 % cholesterol and Thymoquinone 100 mg/Kg BW/day, 200 mg/Kg BW/day or 400 mg/Kg BW/day. Results: The cholesterol-rich diet significantly increased Malondialdehyde (MDA) in the aortic blood vessels, as reflected by Thiobarbituric Acid-Reactive Substances (TBARS), inhibited endothelium-dependent vascular relaxations to acetylcholine and decrease cyclic GMP were compared with vessels from normal rabbits (negative control). In cholesterol-fed rabbits, Thymoquinone treatment decreased MDA in plasma production, improved endothelium-dependent relaxations to acetylcholine and increase cyclic GMP production. Conclusion: These results suggest that dietary treatment of rabbits with thymoquinone may prevent superoxide anion (O2-) induced inactivation of endothelium-dependent relaxing factor (EDRF), improve the endothelium-dependent relaxation to acetylcholine in the aortic blood vessels, and increase cyclic GMP content in aortic of cholesterol-fed rabbits.
