Abstract:
Objective: Plant polyphenols have antioxidant capacity and alpha-glucosidase inhibition to supporting for prevention and treatment of diabetes.
Materials and Method: Present study was conducted to determine the content of total polyphenols, free radical scavenging and alpha-glucosidase inhibition of the VOS mixture that extracted from leaves (Voi leaves - Cleistocalyx operculatus (V), Oi leaves - Psidium g uajava (O), Sen leaves - Nelumbo nucifera (S)).
Results: The efficacy of blood glucose controlling in diabetic mice was investigated. After 8 weeks of administration with 200 mg VOS/kg body weight and 400 mg VOS/kg body weight, VOS diabetic mice had significantly reduced blood glucose level as compared to control diabetic mice. VOS diabetic mice with 400 mg dosage are lower in blood glucose levels than that of the diabetic mice with 200 mg. Also, the significant reducing in HbA1c was observed in VOS diabetic mice as compared with control diabetic mice. Conclusion: VOS-product extracted from Cleistocalyx operculatus leaves, guava leaves, lotus leaves might be considered as a safe product and to be a potential product in the supporting of prevention and treatment of diabetes.
