Abstract

BACKGROUND: Diabetes mellitus-induced hyperglycemia increases oxidative stress and inflammatory cytokine production, which play a significant role in the damage and apoptosis of pancreatic p cells. Therefore, the administration of medications that can reduce oxidative stress and inflammation plays an important role in diabetes treatment. OBJECTIVE: To probe the Clinacanthus nutans leaf extract effect on oxidative stress and inflammatory markers and the Langerhans islet area in diabetic rat models. DESIGN: An experimental laboratory in the animal model. METHODS: Twenty-five diabetic rat models were randomly assigned into 5 clusters. Clusters 1, 2, and 3 were administered with C. nutans leaf extract in aqueous suspension with vehicle 1% Na-CMC at 75mg/kg body weight (BW), 150mg/kg BW, and 300 mg/kg BW, respectively. Cluster 4 was diabetic control rats administered with metformin at a 21 mg/rat dose. Cluster 5 was a control diabetic rat only administered with 1% Na-CMC suspension. Treatment was administered orally for 14 days. On the 15th day, the rats were sacrificed to obtain blood samples and pancreatic tissues. Serum interleukin (IL)-6, malondialdehyde (MDA), and tumor necrosis factor (TNF-a) were measured using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method. Histopathological examination was performed by counting the Langerhans islet areas. RESULTS: The average IL-6, MDA, and TNF-a levels declined in the cluster receiving C. nutans extract and were significantly different from the untreated cluster (P< .05). Histopathological examination revealed a significant upsurge in the Langerhans islets area in diabetic rats receiving C. nutans extract at doses of 75 and 150mg/kg (P< .05). CONCLUSION: C. nutans leaf extract reduced the serum MDA, TNF-a, and IL-6 levels, and increased the Langerhans islets area in a diabetic rat model.
