Antidiabetic test of combination of insulin leaf extracts (Tithonia diversifolia (Hems.) A.Gray) and purple sweet tattoo (Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam) leaf in male rats due to streptozotocin induction

Abstrak

Diabetes mellitus is a condition in which blood glucose levels are high enough in the body. Insulin leaves contain tannins, flavonoids and saponins which play a role in fighting free radicals. Purple sweet potato leaves have anthocyanin and phenolic flavonoid compounds that function as anti-diabetics. The combination of the two is expected to produce a synergistic effect to increase the effectiveness of antidiabetics. This research aims to find out the antidiabetic effect and the effective dose of a combination of insulin leaf extract and purple sweet potato leaves. This study used 25 rats as test animals which were divided into 5 groups. The blood glucose levels of the rats were measured using the GOD-PAP method. The results showed that the combination dose of insulin leaf ethanol extract 30 mg/kgBB and purple sweet potato leaves 120 mg/kgBB (combination group 2) had an anti-diabetic effect, an average of 97.49 and a positive control (glibenclamide) mean of 116.83 in reducing blood glucose levels in streptozotocin-induced mice. The research show that based on the One Way ANOVA analysis, the sig. ie 0.000 <0.05, then in conclusion the average of the five test groups has a significant difference.
