Abstract

This study was aimed to investigate the ability of gamma-mangostin to reduce plasma blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine and ameliorates the impaired renal proximal tubular cells in diabetic mice. Antioxidant assay was conducted by using male BALB/c mice. Mice were divided into two groups, they were normal control (KN) and streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice. Streptozotocin (STZ) induction was performed using multiple low-dose of 30 mg/kg body weight injected for five consecutive days. Diabetic mice have divided into three subgroups; diabetic control (KD), diabetic mice treated with acarbose (KA), and diabetic mice treated with gamma-mangostin. The gamma-mangostin treatment group was categorized based on the dose given; P1 (1 mg/kg BW), P2 (2 mg/kg BW), and P3 (4 mg/kg BW). Interestingly, gamma-mangostin administration was found to be able to lower plasma BUN and creatinine and ameliorate the impaired renal proximal tubular cells in diabetic mice significantly. Therefore, gamma-mangostin has demonstrated high antioxidant activity. The proof suggests that gamma-mangostin is a lead compound candidate for clinical management or prevent diabetes mellitus.

Abstract

Mercury (Hg) was known as a teratogenic which is distributed in tissue. This study aims to determine theretention and embryotoxicity of Hg-exposed pregnant mice. Thirty female mice was treated with HgCl2(mercuric chloride). HgCl2 (5 and 6 kg/mg BW) was inducted in pregnant mice at 9 and 11 gestational days.Hg levels were measured in hair, uterus, liver, kidney, brain, blood, placenta, visceral fetus, and fetus brain onthe 18th day of gestation using the atomic absorption spectrophotometry (AAS) method. Embryotoxicity teston the fetus was carried out after the surgery took place. Scales and calipers are used to calculate fetal weightand crown rump length. Statistical tests were analyzed using the SPSS 21 program. The results showed thatthe liver, kidney, brain, visceral fetal, and fetal brain were significantly increased (P < 0.05) in the treatmentgroup at pregnant mice. Hg also produced a significant difference (P < 0.05) on the decrease in live fetuses,fetuses, body weight, and crown rump length and an increase in resorbed fetuses. Hg accumulation in thebody apparently can cause adverse effects in pregnant mice.
