The potential of instant yellow cornmeal and tempe flour as glucose control on hyperglycemic conditions

Abstract

The objective of this study to evaluate the glucose control potential of instant yellow cornmeal and tempe flour by using hyperglycemic mouse models. In approaching this purpose, 24 male ddY mice were used and divided into 3 goups : group A (positive control group, hyperglycemic, 100 % standard feed), group B (treatment group, hyperglycemic, 60 % instant yellow cornmeal + 40 % instant tempe flour), and group C (negative control group, normal, 100 % standard feed). The evaluated parameters of body weight and blood glucose levels were measured during the 8-week period of the study. Results showed that group B (60 % instant yellow cornmeal + 40 % instant tempe flour ration) indicated the potential to control hyperglycemic conditions (p<0.05 ) and displayed higher levels of body weight (6.05 ± 6.08 grams, p >0.05 ) compared to groups A and C.
