Effects of Tempeh Fermentation with and on Streptozotocin-Induced Type II Diabetes Mellitus in Rats.

The increased consumption of high fat-containing foods has been linked to the prevalence of obesity and abnormal metabolic syndromes. , a fungus in the family Mucoraceae, is widely used as a starter for homemade tempeh. Although can prevent the growth of other microorganisms, it grows well with lactic acid bacteria (LAB).

Remote ischemic postconditioning protects against gastric mucosal lesions in rats.

Aim: To investigate the protective effects of remote ischemic postconditioning (RIP) against limb ischemia-reperfusion (IR)-induced gastric mucosal injury.

Methods: Gastric IR was established in male Wistar rats by placing an elastic rubber band under a pressure of 290-310 mmHg on the proximal part of both lower limbs for 3 h followed by reperfusion for 0, 1, 3, 6, 12 or 24 h. RIP was performed using three cycles of 30 s of reperfusion and 30 s of reocclusion of the femoral aortic immediately after IR and before reperfusion for up to 24 h.
