In vivo evaluation of Monascus-fermented durian seed for antidiabetic and antihypercholesterol agent
Journal Title: Food Research - Year 2017, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
Monascus-fermented durian seed (MFDS) had been developed previously. This research was aimed to evaluate the MFDS for antidiabetic and antihypercholesterol agent with in vivo method using Wistar rat. The MFDS was produced by inoculating the spore suspension of Monascus sp. KJR2 into durian seed cuts and then incubated at room temperature (30°C) for 14 days. The product was dried and ground to produce MFDS powder. The MFDS suspension was evaluated its lowering blood glucose and cholesterol concentration in vivo using male Wistar rats. Administration of 2 mL of product suspensions at the level of 0.05; 0.10; and 0.15 g/2 mL for 28 days decreased 12.89% of blood glucose and 49.3% serum cholesterol concentration in the rats. Higher level of MFDS suspension resulting higher effectiveness of the lowering blood glucose and total cholesterol. MFDS also improved lipid profile including HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol and Triglyceride levels.
