The Effect of Coffee Arabica Gayo Leaf Extract (Coffea arabica L.) on Increased PI3K Serum Levels in Type 2 Diabetic Rat

BACKGROUND: Coffee arabica gayo leaf extract (Coffea arabica L.) contains polyphenols (chlorogenic acid), flavonoids, saponins, tannins, and steroids which improved PI3K serum levels in rats type 2 diabetic rat.AIM: The purpose of the study was to determine the effect of Coffee Arabica Gayo Leaf Extract (C. arabica L.) on increased PI3K serum levels in type-2 diabetic rat (Rattus norvegicus).METHODS: Thirty-five male Wistar rats with type 2 diabetic induced a combination of feeding a high-fat diet for 5 weeks and intraperitoneal injection of low dose streptozotocin (30 mg/kg). The diabetic rats were randomly divided into seven groups which consist of group without type 2 diabetic, group without type 2 diabetic with dose 250 mg/kg/day Coffee Arabica Gayo Leaf Extract, group with type 2 diabetic without intervention, group with type 2 diabetic with metformin, and group with type 2 diabetic with Coffee Arabica Gayo Leaf Extract doses 150, 200, and 250 mg/kg/day. The extract was administered orally for 30 days. Subsequently, PI3K serum levels were measure by Sandwich Elisa.RESULTS: There were significantly higher PI3K serum levels in the treatment groups than in the control groups (p = 0.037) after giving Coffee Arabica Gayo Leaf Extract 200 mg/kg/day and 250 mg/kg/day to rats for 30 days.CONCLUSION: These data suggest that Coffee Arabica Gayo Leaf Extract can improve PI3K serum levels in a rat model type 2 diabetic.
