【 摘 要 】

Background: Diabetes Mellitus is character­rized by metabolic disturbances due to pro­longed hyperglycemia, causing oxidative stress, which destroys pancreatic β cells. Adjuvant therapy that has antihyperglycemic effective­ness and is required to improve the diameter of pancreatic beta cells, one of which comes from Sechium edule (Jacq.) Swartz has poten­tial as an antihyperglycemic, antioxidant, anti­apop­tosis, cardioprotective, insulin resistance. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of ethanol extract, Chayote (Sechium Edule (Jacq.) Swartz) fraction, and juice on the pancreatic β-cell diameter of white male rats Wistar strain with type 2 diabetes mellitus.Subjects and Method: This was a rando­mized controlled trial. Sample was Rattus novergius sp. 54 tails. The dependent variable was the diameter of the pancreatic β cells. The independent variables were ethanol extract, Sechium edule (Jacq.) Swartz fraction and juice, at a dose of 50 mg/kg BW, 100 mg/ kg BW, 150 mg/kg BW. The data were analyzed by the ANOVA test.Results: The group of mice induced by Strep­tozotocin 50 mg/kg BW + nicotinamide (120 mg/ kg BW) + HFD and obtained ethanol extract of chayote fruit 150 mg/ kg BW, orally, had the highest pancreatic β cell diameter com­pared to the other groups (Mean= 284.03; SD= 5.15).Conclusion: Sechium edule (Jacq.) Swartz has potential as an anti-apoptosis that can inhibit pancreatic β cell damage.
