Diabetes Type 2 can cause oxidative stress leading to the accumulation of reactive oxygen species. Soyferment-Tempeh, a fermented soybean product with aerobic and anaerobic R. oligosporus incubation has a high antioxidant content of isoflavones that can regulate oxidative stress in diabetes. In this study, we evaluate the effects of Soyferment-Tempeh on lipid profile, Retinol-Binding Protein 4 (RBP4), and Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxykinase (PEPCK) gene expression in type 2 diabetic mice. A total of 30 mice with the age of eight weeks were divided into six groups as follows: A) nondiabetic, B) diabetic mice, C) diabetic mice with metformin, D), E), and F) diabetic mice with Soyferment-Tempeh doses of 10, 20, or 40mg/100g body weight (BW), respectively, were administered treatments orally by gavages. Blood was collected for assessment of blood glucose level, and lipid profile before and after 3 weeks of the administration. After sacrificing the mice, livers were used for RBP4 and PEPCK gene expression assessment. Supplementation with three different doses of Soyferment-Tempeh in streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice for 21 days significantly (p<0.001) reduced blood glucose level, total cholesterol, triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein level, atherogenic index, and increased high-density lipoprotein level. There was a significant decrease in RBP4 gene expression in the Soyferment-Tempeh of dose 10mg/100g BW treatment groups (p<0.05), while the PEPCK gene expression did not significantly differ (p>0.05). These results demonstrate that supplementation with Soyferment-Tempeh decreases blood glucose level, atherogenic index, improves lipid profile, and decreases RBP4.

Background : Hyperglycemia on diabetes mellitus can cause increasing of free radicals production. Free radicals caused lipid peroxidation reaction by forming malondialdehyde (MDA). β-carotene has antioxidant activity may inhibit the formation of ROS.Objective : To prove the effect of multilevel doses β-carotene 1 mg/kg BW, 20 mg/kg BW and 20 mg/kg BW on alternate days within 30 days orally supplementation on blood glucose level and MDA level on Sprague Dawley male rats induced by streptozotocin (STZ). Methods : Thirty rats were randomly divided into 5 groups: X1=Negative control/diabetic, X2 (STZ 40 mg/kg BW + BC 1 mg/kg BW), X3 (STZ 40 mg/kg BW + BC 10mg/kg BW), X4 (STZ 40 mg/kg BW + BC 20 mg/kg BW), X5 (technic control/non diabetic). β-Carotene supplementation was given by nasogastric tube on alternate days within thirty days. Blood glucose level was measured by GOD-PAP and MDA level by ELISA with TBARS methods. Data was analized using paired t-test, wilcoxon, one way anova and post hoc bonferroni. Results : there was a significant difference of blood glucose level (p = 0,0001) and MDA level (p = 0,0001) after suplementation β-carotene on alternate days within 30 days orally. β-carotene 10 mg/kg BW was the most effective and efficient dose to lowering blood glucose, while 20 mg/kg BW to lowering MDA level. Conclusion : The multilevel doses β-carotene (1 mg/kg BW, 10 mg/kg BW and 20 mg/kg BW) on alternate days within 30 days orally supplementation can decrease blood glucose and MDA level. β-carotene 10 mg/kg BW is the most effecetive and efficient to decrease blood glucose and β-carotene 20 mg/kg BW to decrease MDA level.

<p class="AbstractContent"><strong>Objective:</strong> Diabetes Mellitus is a leading illness to the society and despite of a lot of researches, not a single cure has been discovered. Most of the time, people focused on fighting diabetes and medicinal plants were utilized. The purpose of this study was to investigate the hypoglycemic effect of Scarlet Spiral Flag (<em>Costus woodsonii</em>) and to be reviewed for preclinical trials.</p><p class="AbstractContent"><strong>Methods: </strong>20 male Swiss mice were made diabetic by inducing Alloxan monohydrate. Then separated randomly into 4 groups with different treatments administered daily for 7 days; Control, Positive Control (600 µg/kg Glibenclamide), T1 (250mg/kg Scarlet Spiral Flag ethanolic extract) and T2 (500mg/kg Scarlet Spiral Flag ethanolic extract). Their blood sugar was monitored onset after 1<sup>st</sup> treatment (6<sup>th</sup>, 12<sup>th</sup> and 24<sup>th</sup> hours) and during the week within the 1<sup>st</sup>, 4<sup>th</sup> and 8<sup>th</sup> day.</p><p class="AbstractContent"><strong>Results:</strong> Both the onset and fasting blood sugar monitoring showed a significant decrease in the mean average blood glucose level of the mice.<strong></strong></p><p class="AbstractContent"><strong>Conclusion: </strong>The ethanolic extract of Scarlet Spiral Flag (<em>Costus woodsonii</em>) has a potent antidiabetic effect in Alloxan-induced diabetic mice. Since it is under the same Genus of the Insulin plant, it has a common effect in terms of lowering the blood glucose level.</p><p class="AbstractContent"><strong>Keywords: </strong>Acclimatization, Alloxan, <em>Costus woodsonii, </em>Ethanolic Extract, Oral Gavage</p>

A fetus in the uterus is not rejected at any time during the entire gestational period, even without the administration of immunosuppressive agents, though fetus is a kind of allograft. This prevention of rejection is considered to be associated with the presence of placental tissues. This hypothesis was tested by the allografting of islets together with placental tissues (trophoblasts) in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic mice. Placentae were harvested from the mice at the 14th postgestation day by being peeled off carefully and with the maternal decidua left behind, and cut into small pieces. Five hundred freshly isolated islets together with placental tissues obtained from ICR mice were placed under the left kidney capsule of STZ-induced diabetic C57BL/6J mice. The nonfasting blood glucose level was reduced from 477 ± 41 mg/dl at the time of pretransplant to that of the intact normal mice (161 ± 18 mg/dl) soon after the cografting, and did not return to the pretransplant level before the 14th posttransplant day. The grafting of the same number of islets alone and/or liver tissues dropped the blood glucose level, but not to that of the intact normal mice. It returned to the pretransplant level within 1 week. This is the first successful prolongation of survival of allografted islets without immunosuppressive agents through cotransplantation of allogenic placental tissues. The underlying mechanism remains to be clarified.
