Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is chronic metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemic state triggers by the formation of cells free radical. Rutin as a flavonoid or secondary antioxidant can increase insulin secretion and stimulate pancreatic progenitor cells. This study aims to analyze the effect of flavonoid-rutin to decrease blood glucose levels and pancreas regeneration in diabetic rats induced by streptozotocin. Research model was a laboratory experimental and total sample 25 experimental animals consisting of 5 groups those are negative control (NC), positive control (PC), Flavonoid-flavonoid-rutin 25mg/kgBW (P1), Flavonoid-rutin 50mg/kgBW (P2), and Flavonoid-rutin 100mg/kgBW (P3). The study was conducted for 17 days by examination of blood glucose levels and pancreas regeneration. Data were analyzed Anova and Duncan (P<0,05). The results showed flavonoid-rutin 50 mg/kgBW can reduce blood glucose levels and regenerate the pancreas because has the ability to reduce free radicals that increase in conditions of hyperglycemia.
