Abstract

Abstract. Liputo SM, Lamondo D, Solang M. 2021. Effect of palm sap (Arenga pinnata) on blood glucose levels of mice (Mus musculus) alloxan-induced diabetic. Asian J Nat Prod Biochem 20: 11-15. This study aims to determine the effect of palm sap (Arenga pinnata (Wurmb) Merr.) in reducing blood glucose levels in alloxan-induced diabetic mice (Mus musculus Linnaeus, 1758). Twenty-five mice aged 2-3 months were grouped into a negative control group, a positive control group and a palm sap group (0.2 mL, 0.4 mL, and 0.6 mL). The result showed that the palm sap with a dose of 0.4 mL was the most significant in reducing blood glucose levels. This study concluded that the administration of palm sap affected decreasing blood glucose levels (p <0.05).
