Background: Puguntano (.) contains flavonoids, saponins, tannins, and steroids/ terpenoids which improved post-receptor insulin signalling in rats model of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Aim: This study aimed to determine the effect of puguntano leaf extract on p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) levels and glucose transporter-4 (GLUT-4) expression in diabetic rats muscle.
Aim: This study was conducted to identify malondialdehyde (MDA) serum level, nerve growth factor (NGF) serum level, diabetic peripheral neuropathy score and the correlation between MDA and NGF serum level with diabetic peripheral neuropathy score.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted to observe diabetic patients in the internal medicine department in Dr M. Djamil Hospital, Padang, Indonesia.
Background: The aim of this paper is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of DLBS3233, a novel bioactive fraction derived from Cinnamomum burmanii and Lagerstroemia speciosa, in improving insulin resistance and preserving β-cell performance in patients with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT).
Patients And Methods: Eighty adult subjects with IGT, defined as 2-hour postprandial glucose level of 140-199 mg/dL, were enrolled in this two-arm, 12-week, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled preliminary study. Eligible subjects were randomly allocated to receive either DLBS3233 at a dose of 50-100 mg daily or placebo for 12 weeks.
Aim: To assess immunologic remission in patients with Graves' disease following euthyroid condition at the end of treatment with maintenance dose of PTU.
Methods: This is an intervention study using one-group pre-post design. Subjects were 25 Graves' disease patients visiting Metabolic Endocrinology Clinic at Dr.
