Studi Penurunan Glukosa Darah Diabet dengan Konsumsi Rumput Laut Eucheuma cottonii
Abstract: The purpose of this
study was to observe the effect of Eucheuma cottonii consumption to the
diabetic blood glucose level. Study on reducing blood glucose by consuming
seaweed E. cottonii was conducted using male wistar rat (Ratus norvegicus).
Rats were made to a hyperglycemic condition by aloxan injection before given
ransom contains of 5, 10, 15, 20% (w/w) E. cottonii, standard ransom (negative
control), and parental glibenklamid (positive control). The result showed that
standard ransom was not able to reduce blood glucose from hyperglycemic to
normal level, while ransoms with E. cottonii were able to do so. The higher E.
cottonii seaweed level in the ransom had the higher capacity to decrease blood
glucose level. The ransom with 20 and 15% E. cottonii were able to reduce blood
glucose in 18 and 21 days, respectively.This treatment has the same ability as
glibenklamid medicine which also reduced blood glucose to normal level in 18
days. Ransom with 5 and 10% E. cottonii were also able to reduce blood glucose
level but the normal blood glucose level could not be achieved until 21st day.
