INTRODUCTION Diabetes mellitus is the most common metabolic disease worldwide. Nigella sativa also known as black cumin, is an emerging miracle herb with a rich historical and religious background. In the present study, we have attempted to study the hypoglycemic effect of aqueous extract of Nigella sativa on diabetes-induced rats. MATERIAL AND METHODS This preclinical study was conducted in Department of Pharmacology from August to October 2019. In this study, hyperglycemia was induced by a single intraperitoneal dose of 60 mg/kg streptozotocin in 0.1 M citrate buffer (pH 4.5). Animals were divided into five groups containing normal control, negative control, standard, test-1, and test-2. The aqueous extract of Nigella sativa was administered 400 and 800 mg/kg per oral in both the test groups for 18 days. Blood glucose level was measured at three-days interval by glucometer. Oral glucose tolerance test was done by administrating 2 gm/kg per oral glucose and the blood glucose was recorded every two-hours interval for eight hours. RESULTS An oral glucose tolerance test showed a decrease in blood glucose level at the dose of 400 and 800 mg/kg compared to the negative control group. The administration of aqueous extract of Nigella sativa for 18 days showed significant decrease in blood glucose level (p=0.001) compared to negative control group. The blood glucose level in test 1 (400 mg/kg) was significantly reduced compared to the standard group (p***<0.001). The blood glucose level in test 2 at 18th day was less significant (p*< 0.05) compared with standard group and test 1 (p**<0.01, p***<0.001). CONCLUSION The findings of the present study indicate that the aqueous extract of Nigella sativa has significant hypoglycemic effect in Wistar rats.

ABSTRACTChronic diabetes mellitus is a disease of increased blood glucose levels in a long time so that it can affect sexual function such as damage spermatogenesis and aphrodisiac function. Parijoto has flavonoid content. This study aimed to determine the effect of ethanolic extract of parijoto (Medinilla speciosa Blume) fruit in blood glucose level and the sexual function in alloxan-induced diabetic male rats. The design of the study was post test only control group design, 25 male wistar rats aged 2 months with BB 100-200 gram divided into 5 groups. Group 1 (normal control), group 2 (negative control) induced alloxan 100mg / kgBB, groups 3, 4, and 5 were alloxan induced and administered EEBP at doses of 100 mg / kgBW, 250 mg / kgBW, and 500 mg / kgBW. Alloxan-induced rats were left for 4 weeks to achieve chronic DM. Data analysis of blood glucose level and spermatozoa quality using one way anova followed by LSD post hoc. While aphrodisiac of introducing and climbing using one way anova continued by LSD and coitus using kruskal wallis. The results showed that there were significant differences between negative control with normal group, III, IV, and V. The effect of ethanolic extract of parijoto fruit on blood glucose level and sexual function in alloxan-induced diabetic male rats showed no difference between treatment group of 100 mg / kgBW with negative group, and there were significant differences between treatment group of 250 mg / kgBW and 500 mg / kgBW with negative group. Ethanolic extract of parijoto fruit at dose 250 mg / kgBB and 500 mg / kgBB decrease blood glucose level, improve and increase sexual function in alloxan-induced diabetic male rats.

Alipin K, Sari EP, Madihah, Setiawati T, Ratningsih N, Malini DM. 2017. Kidney histology in streptozotocin-induced diabetic male Wistar rats treated with combined extract of temulawak rhizome and belimbing wuluh fruit. Nusantara Bioscience 9: 312-317. Complications that are occurred in patients with Diabetes Mellitus usually followed by kidney damage. Temulawak (Curcuma xanthorrhiza Roxb.) and belimbing wuluh (Averrhoa bilimbi L.) were traditionally used to decrease blood glucose level. Thus, they were potential as antidiabetic drugs. This study aimed to evaluate the combination of ethanol extracts of temulawak rhizome and belimbing wuluh fruit in repairing kidney damage in diabetic male Wistar rats induced by streptozotocin (STZ). An experimental method using a completely randomized design that consist of seven treatments with three replications. Six treatment groups were injected intraperitoneally with a dose of 60 mg/kg BW STZ, and one group served as a control. The animals which have blood glucose level ≥200 mg/dl were stated as diabetic. Furthermore, the animals were treated orally with single extract i.e. temulawak 17.5 mg/kg BW or belimbing wuluh 750 mg/kg BW and combined extracts 383.75 or 767.5 mg/kg BW, as well as glibenclamide 0.45 mg/kg BW as reference, including diabetic rat as positive control and non-diabetic rat as negative control. The results showed that combine extract at dose of 383.75 mg/kg BW treatment repaired the kidney histology, i.e., glomerular diameter and Bowman space width, as well as significantly decreased the necrosis percentage of proximal tubular in diabetic rat compared with positive control group (p<0.05). In conclusion, the combined extract of temulawak rhizome and belimbing wuluh fruit has potent to cure renal failure in diabetic rats induced by streptozotocin.

Background: The global population of diabetes mellitus tends to increase every year. This is related to the increased of population numbers, lifestyle, increased prevalence of obesity and less physical activity (Smeltzer & Bare, 2002). Olive oil is a functional diet because it is rich of monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA), especially oleic acid (70% - 80%), contains antioxidants and polyphenol compounds. Polyphenols are α-amylase enzyme inhibitors that have function in the breakdown of carbohydrates, so that the level of blood glucose in hyperglycemia can be lowered (Astrawan made, Wresdiyati Tutik, Nasution Nurlayla Amas, 2015). The goal of this study is to examine the effectiveness of extra virgin olive oil to blood glucose level. Method:This study used experimental laboratory study with post test only control group design. The independent variable was the extra virgin olive oil, while the dependent variable was the blood glucose level. The samples were 32 healthy 8 weeks old white male wistar strain rats with the weigh between 180 mg - 200 mg. It divided into 3 groups, the negative control group was fed with standard diet, the positive control group was fed with standard diet and 1 ml fructose for 4 weeks, the treatment group was fed with standard diet, 1 ml fructose and 0.5 gr extra virgin olive oil for 4 weeks, on the fifth week the fructose was increased into 4 ml/day for the next 4 weeks, on the 52nd day the blood glucose level was checked after it was fasted for 6 hours. The data analysis used t-test and Mann Withney test with α = 0.05. Result: The blood glucose level average of the positive control group was 309.57 ± 120.12, the blood glucose level average of the negative control group was 111.85 ± 10.57, the blood glucose level average of the treatment group was 115.12 ± 12.25. Conclusion: Giving the extra virgin olive oil can effectively lower the blood glucose level on the male wistar rats.

The effects of crude aqueous extract of Ehretia anacua on alloxan induced diabetic rats was investigated. Male albino rats of weighing between 120 to 150 were used, divided into 6 groups of five animals per group. Group I received distilled water throughout of the experiment and served as the control. Group II received 110 mg/kg of alloxan interperitoneally. Groups III, IV, V and VI received 110 mg/kg of alloxan and in addition administered with aqueous Ehretia anacua extract daily for 14 days. Blood glucose level was monitored at five days interval for fourteen days. Target organs (pancrease) was taken from each rat. The histopathological studies of the pancrease were examined. In alloxan - induced diabetic rats, blood glucose level was significantly increased compared with the control rats. Treating diabetic rats with 50, 100 and 200 mg/kg bw Ehretia anacua caused a significant decrease in the blood glucose level. The Photomicrograph of the histopathology examination of the pancrease (× 100) of the groups treated with alloxan showed poor architecture was destroyed whereas those treated with Ehretia nancua showed normal architecture. This illustrates the amelliorative effects of the extract on the alloxan-induced tocicity. It could be concluded from these results that, Ehretia nancua extract should be used in manufacture processes of the natural products as functional foods or as a dietary supplement with anti-diabecretic activity as hypoglycemic effect.

Spondias pinnata (L.f.) Kurz. (family: Anacardiaceae) is a wild deciduous tree indigenous to southeast Asian countries. Different parts of this plant are used traditionally for the treatment and cure of various disorders and illnesses. S. pinnata leaves are used to prevent and treat diabetes in traditional Balinese medicine. However, scientific study on the antihyperglycemic effect of its leaves has not been reported yet. Therefore, this study aims to perform phytochemical screening and investigate the hypoglycemic potential of S. pinnata leaves extract. Preliminary phytochemical screening of the hydroethanolic extract was performed following the standard tests. In vivo hypoglycemic activity of the leaves extract was evaluated using normal and glucose-loaded rats. The results displayed the presence of phytochemical constituents such as saponins, phenolic compounds, flavonoids, and terpenoids. S. pinnata (500 mg/kg) and metformin (100 mg/kg) exhibited a significant ( p < 0.05 ) decrease in blood glucose level at 1, 2, and 3 h in normal rats when compared to the control group. Metformin- (100 mg/kg)- and S. pinnata- (500 mg/kg)- treated groups showed a maximum decrease in the blood glucose level at 3 h after single-dose administration in the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). In conclusion, S. pinnata leaves possess a significant hypoglycemic activity in the animal model and thus support its traditional use to treat diabetes. Therefore, a detailed mechanism-based study and isolation of bioactive compounds from S. pinnata leaves would be beneficial in the future for the search of new hypoglycemic agents.

Background: Oringaoleifera is a widely used plant with high medicinal value, well known for its pharmacological actions and is used in various conditions. It has been reported to have many biological properties like anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antispasmodic, antitumour including antidiabetic activity.Methods: The study was carried out in Wistar albino rats with body weight 150-250gms. Diabetes was induced by injecting Streptozotocin intraperitoneally- dose 55 mg/kg BW. Animals were divided into 5 groups with 6 animals in each group. First group (Control) was given 2% gum acacia. Other 4 groups were induced diabetes by giving Streptozotocin. Diabetic control group received gum acacia (0.5 ml), Standard group received Glibenclamide (0.5mg/kg BW), Test group received Moringaoleifera extract (300mg/kg) and Test+ Standard group receiving combination of Moringaoleifera and glibenclamide at half the above doses. All drugs were given orally for 28 days and blood glucose levels analyzed using Glucometer on Day 0 before drug and on D1, D3, D7, D14, D21, and D28. Data were statistically analyzed by ANOVA and Tukey‘s Post Hoc test.Results: Hypoglycemia produced by Moringaoleifera extract was significant (p<0.001) when compared to diabetic control group from day 7 to day 28. The percent reduction of blood glucose level was 52.9% as compared to Glibenclamide group 61.3%. The combination group also showed significant hypoglycemic activity the percentage reduction being 56.44%.Conclusions: Thus, Moringaoleifera decreased blood glucose level efficaciously as compared to diabetic control group and similar to standard group at p<0.001.
