Abstract

An observational experiment was designed to study the effect of Arenga pinnata polysaccharide extract on blood glucose level of the rat. The rats weigh from 151 – 207 g were fed by the extract from the different hardness level of Arenga pinnata endosperm. Three different weight of 50, 100 and 200 mg containing 1% of Arenga pinnata endosperm extract were studied and compared simultaneously with a common diabetic drug (glibenclamide) and glucose 50%. The blood glucose level was determined in the range time of 0 – 120 min using a glucometer. The result shows that the endosperm extract of Arenga pinnata could reduce blood glucose due to high fiber contained. Arenga pinanata endosperm extract 1 and 3 with a level of 200 and 50 mg, respectively, significantly reduced blood glucose after 90 min treatment compared to diabetic rats. Even though glibenclamide showed a better result, this finding opens the possibility to use natural Arenga pinnata endosperm as diabetic controlled.
