ABSTRACT
Diabetes mellitus is a
group of metabolic diseases characterized by hyperglycemia conditions
(increased blood glucose) caused by abnormalities in insulin secretion,
abnormalities in the action of insulin or perhaps both. Red Ginger (Zingiber officinale var. rubrum)
contains alkaloids, flavanoids, tannins, saponins, gingerol and shagol which
have blood glucose-lowering, anti-inflammatory, anticancer and antitumor
effects. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of Red Ginger extract
against decreasing blood glucose levels in mice (Mus
musculus). This research is a type of experimental
study conducted to determine the effectiveness of red ginger extract against
decreasing blood glucose levels in mice. This study was conducted using
alloxane as a diabetes inducer, Na CMC 1% as a negative control, glibenclamide
as a positive control, extract dose 2 %, 5 % and 7 % orally for 7 days in 5
groups of test animals. The results of the study obtained 1% Na-CMC results
showed a percentage decrease, namely -16.32% and -103.03%. In the group of mice
given Red Ginger extract 2% showed a percentage decrease, namely 105.57% and
102.04%. The group of mice given Red Ginger extract 5% showed a percentage
decrease of 105.83% and 86.84%. The group of mice given 7% Red Ginger extract
showed a percentage decrease, namely 67.34% and 97.45%. The group of mice
suspended by glibenclamide showed a percentage decrease of 73.05% and 66.66%.
It can be concluded that the administration of Red Ginger extract has been
shown to reduce blood glucose levels in aloxane-induced mice at concentrations
of 2%,5% and 7% with significant values (p < 0.05) indicating a difference
and obtained the most effective concentration in lowering blood glucose levels
in mice (Mus musculus)

INTRODUCTION
Diabetes
Mellitus is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by hyperglycemia
(increased blood glucose) caused by abnormalities in insulin secretion, insulin
action or both (Muntafiah et al., 2017). Treatment of diabetes mellitus can be carried out using pharmacological and non-pharmacological
treatment, and the action is not an independent nurse's action but an act of collaboration
with other medical measures (Yanti, 2021). One of the pharmacological treatments often used is insulin therapy,
both in oral form and requiring injections with mild to heavy doses (Suharto et al., 2019).
However, many patients experience side effects from drug therapy, such as
hypoglycemia, weight gain, and gastrointestinal disorders. These conditions
encourage the exploration of natural materials as a source of alternative
medicine for treating diabetes Mellitus (Masi & Kallo, 2018) .
Pharmacological therapy with modern drugs in people with diabetes
mellitus consists of oral hypoglycemic drugs, insulin injections and other
diabetic injections (Zhao et al., 2022). Oral antidiabetic drugs are classified into six
groups: 1) sulfonylurea groups, 2) glinide groups, 3) biguanides, 4)
thiazolidinediones (TZD), 5) alpha-glucosidase group inhibitors, 6) DPP-IV
inhibitors (Roncero-Ramos et al.,
2021). Antidiabetic drugs are used by injection of (1) insulin, (2) GLP
analogues, and (3) Amylin analogues (Wardani, 2016). One example of an antidiabetic drug often used by
the public is glibenclamide from the sulfonylurea group (Doucet et al.,
2023). Glibenclamide treats
non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (type 2 DM) hyperglycemia (Padhi et al., 2020). The
mechanism of action inhibits ATP-sensitive K+ channels in pancreatic beta
cells. This inhibition causes cell membrane depolarization and will open Ca
channels. So that Ca channels are formed, Ca++ ions will enter the pancreatic
beta cells and stimulate granules containing insulin to secrete insulin (Sharma, 2012). Red
Ginger (Zingiber officinale var. rubrum) contains active substances,
namely flavonoids, gingerols, shogaol and oleoresin (Sulistyoningsih et al., 2018).
Gingerol and shogaol are phenol components that have anti-inflammatory,
anticancer and antitumor effects (Etika, A, N., Nurrahayu, K, I., & SS, 2017)
Therefore,
this study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of red ginger extract (Zingiber
officinale var. rubrum) in reducing blood glucose levels in mice (Mus
musvulus).
METHODS

The research entitled "Effectiveness of Red Ginger
Extract (Zingiber Officinale var.rubrum) on Reducing Blood Glucose
Levels in Mice (Mus Musculus)" was conducted to know the
effectiveness of red ginger extract in reducing blood glucose levels in mice.
This study used red ginger extract with a concentration of 2% w/v, 5% w/v, and
7% w/v. CMC Na was a positive control, and glibenclamide suspension was a
positive control.
The results of the phytochemical tests that have been
carried out show that the sample contains alkaloids, flavanoids, tannins and
saponins. The positive reaction in the alkaloid test was the formation of a
white precipitate in the reagent, a yellowish-white precipitate in Mayer and a
red brick precipitate in the drag-drop reagent. Flavanoids are generally more
soluble in water or polar solvents because they have bonds with sugar groups.
The formation of a translucent white colour indicates a positive flavanoid test
result. Tannins are phenolic compounds that tend to be polar. The results of
the tannin test showed a positive result for the formation of a brownish-yellow
colour. Saponins are generally in the form of glycosides, so they tend to be
polar. The saponin test was negative because there was no foam (Prasetyo & Inoriah, 2013).
The results of the study were carried out using alloxan
as an inducer of diabetes, 1% Na CMC as a negative control, glibenclamide as a
positive control, extract doses of 2%, 5% and 7% orally for 7 days in 5 groups
of test animals consisting of 3 mice in 1 group. Observations were made due to
changes in blood glucose levels in mice that had been induced with alloxan. The
research results obtained were 1% Na-CMC as a negative control showing a
decreasing percentage of -16.32% and -103.03% respectively. In the group of
mice given 2% Red Ginger extract, the percentage of reduction was 105.57% and
102.04%. The group of mice given 5% Red Ginger extract showed a reduction
percentage of 105.83% and 86.84%. The group of mice given 7% Red Ginger extract
showed a reduction percentage of 67.34% and 97.45%. The group of mice suspended
with glibenclamide as positive control showed a reduction percentage of 73.05%
and 66.66%. It can be concluded that the administration of Red Ginger extract (Zingiber
officinale var. rubrum) is proven to reduce blood glucose levels in
alloxan-induced mice at concentrations of 2%, 5% and 7% with significant values
(p <0.05), indicating a difference and the highest concentrations were
obtained. effective in reducing blood glucose levels in mice (Mus musculus)
is a concentration of 7%.
The results showed that the blood sugar value of group 1
had an average value of 223.33. While group 2 has an average value of 101.33.
While group 3 has an average value of 118.00. Group 4 has an average value of
154.33 and group 5 has an average value of 179.00. After the research results were
analyzed using the normality test, group 1 obtained a significance value
(p=0.780), group 2 obtained a significance value (p=0.956), group 3 obtained a
significance value (p=1.000), group 4 obtained a significance value ( p=0.988)
and group 5 has a significant value (p=1.000). So it can be concluded that the
data is usually distributed from group 1 to group 5.
After the data were tested for normality, it was then
analyzed using the ANOVA test to obtain a mean square value of 7121.100, an F
value of 10.654 and a value of p = 0.001, which means that Ho is rejected and
Ha is accepted. Thus red ginger extract (Zingiber officinale var.rubrum)
is effective in reducing blood glucose levels in mice (Mus musculus).
Determination of the effect of reducing blood glucose
levels was measured with a glucometer (Akcay et al., 2022). The
working principle of using this tool is that oxygen, with the help of the
enzyme glucose oxidase, catalyzes the oxidation process of glucose into
gluconic acid and hydrogen peroxide. Blood is taken through a vein at the end
of the tail and then dripped on the glucometer strip. Blood drops containing
blood glucose will react with certain substances in the strip (glucose
oxidase). Then automatically, within 10 seconds, the blood glucose level will
be measured and the results can be read on the glucometer monitor (Fardiyanti, 2018).
Based on research conducted (Wicaksono, 2015) entitled the effect of giving red ginger extract (zingiber
officinale) on fasting and postprandial blood glucose levels in diabetic
rats shows that the phenol content present in the red ginger extract has
antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that will reduce free radicals.
Free and inflammatory processes in the pancreas are caused by alloxan
induction. Therefore, red ginger extract has the ability to reduce blood sugar
levels in people with diabetes mellitus.
The animals used in this study were male mice in good
health and weighing 20-40 grams. Female mice were not used because their
hormonal systems were unstable compared to male mice, and they had higher blood
sugar levels during pregnancy, which could affect the research results. After
treatment, the mice were first starved for 12 hours to minimize blood sugar
levels in the blood and to reduce interfering substances such as food intake,
which could affect blood sugar levels and to increase the speed of drug
absorption and facilitate the administration of oral preparations (Sharma, 2012).
Glibenclamide was used as a positive control, a
second-generation oral antidiabetic drug of the sulfonylurea class;
glibenclamide has a solid hypoglycemic effect at low doses. Glibenclamide was
prepared in a suspension dosage form with 1% w/v Na CMC because it is
practically insoluble in water as a positive control. As a positive control (Masi & Kallo, 2018).
Seeing the results of the research above, the results of
the research carried out are in line with the theory that the treatment of
diabetes mellitus can be carried out using pharmacological and
non-pharmacological treatment; the action is not an independent nurse's action
but an act of collaboration with other medical measures (Ko et al., 2022). One of
the pharmacological treatments often used is insulin therapy, both in oral form
and requiring injections with mild to heavy doses (Ye et al., 2017). However, many patients experience side effects
from drug therapy, such as hypoglycemia, weight gain, and gastrointestinal
disorders. Therefore researchers can conclude that, in theory, the results
obtained have a relationship with one another after the research was carried
out. The statistical test results showed a positive and significant influence
between variables.
CONCLUSION
Based on the research that has been done, it can be concluded that there is
an effectiveness of Red Ginger extract (Zingiber officinale var. rubrum)
in lowering blood glucose levels in mice (Mus musculus). Angry Ginger (Zingiber
officinale bar.rubrum) is proven to reduce blood glucose levels because it
contains active substances that can lower blood glucose levels.� Angry Ginger Extract (Zingiber officinale
var. rubrum) with a concentration of 7% w / v is proven to have a lasting
effect can reduce blood glucose levels in Mice (Mus musclus).
