Complications of diabetes mellitus cause diabetic nephropathy. Soy-yamghurt is made from a combination of Banggai sweet potato juice and fermented soybean juice to be a functional food for diabetic nephropathy sufferers. This study aimed to analyze quantitatively the secondary metabolites contained in soy-yamghurt and to determine the effectiveness of soy-yamghurt in reducing urea and creatinine levels. This study used an experimental method with a total of 25 rats divided into 5 groups, namely normal control, negative control, soyyamghurt treatment group with a comparison of yam and soybean extract, namely F1(1:1), F2(1:2), and F3(2:1). The parameters observed were urea and creatinine levels on days 0, 7, 14, 21, and 28. The results obtained were the total levels of secondary metabolites of Alkaloid compounds F1 0.10% v/v, F2 0.01% v/v, and F3 0.01% (v/v), Flavonoid compounds F1 0.14% (v/v), F2 0.12% (v/v), F3 0.13% (v/v), Tanin compounds F1 0.27% (v/v), F2 0.26% (v/v), F3 0.14% (v/v) and saponins F1 1.15% (v/v), F2 1.22% (v/v), F3 1.25% (v/v). Administration of soy-yamghurt F2 was effective in lowering urea and creatinine levels. With an average value of 14.66 mg/dL urea and 0.40 mg/dL creatinine.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
