STEEPING OF GINGER (ZINGIBER OFFICINALE ROSCE) LOWERS BLOOD GLUCOSE IN RAT MODEL TYPE-2 DIABETES (NIDDM) AS A LEARNING RESOURCE BIOLOGY

Hyperglycemic is one of the symptoms of diabetes characterized by increased concentrations of blood sugar and glucose expenditure accompanied by impaired metabolism of carbohydrates, this disease is still massive in Indonesia. Most antidiabetic drugs can provide undesirable side effects, many experts are concocting traditional treatment for diabetes are on safe securities. This study aims to reveal the potential of biodiversity ginger as an antidiabetic drug that form steeping in rats induced by STZ. This type of research is True Experiment Design. Rats were divided into 4 groups, normal group, positive group (STZ) STZ + steeping ginger group of 1 g/kgBW, and a group of STZ +steeping ginger 3g /kgBW. Results showed no effect of steeping ginger as an antidiabetic drug in mice induction of STZ. The mean blood glucose levels highest in the positive group (STZ) and lowest blood glucose levels in STZ + steeping ginger group of 1 g/kgBW.Reaseach that it was used as a source of a learning of scientific posteras a reference teacher in learning biology matte efforts biodiversity and its use
