Purpose: Hyperglycemia can increase the ROS formation, which can deteriorate oxidative stress that, in turn,
will cause damage to some constituent components of the lipid membrane later on forming malondialdehyde
(MDA). Snakehead fish powder contains both albumin that is able to improve the damaged pancreatic beta
cells for working well in reducing blood sugar and amino acid content that functions as antioxidants.
Meanwhile, bitter melon is recognized to contain phenolic and flavonoid that acts as an antioxidant activity in
normalizing free radicals causing oxidative stress. This study aims to test the ability of mix of Snakehead fish
powder and bitter melon extract to reduce the levels of Malondialdehyde (MDA) in diabetic mice .
Methodology: Male Wistar mice were divided into 5 groups, group (1) normal, (2) negative, (3) single dose
of Snakehead fish powder 300 mg/kg.bw, (4) 150 mg/kg.bw bitter melon extract and (5) combination of
Snakehead fish powder 300 mg/kg.bw and 150 mg/kg.bw bitter melon extract. The levels of mice MDA were
measured at the time before treatment (after induction) and after the 10-day treatment. Statistical analysis
used the normality test (Shapiro-Wilk), homogeneity test (Levene test), One Way parametric test, and Paired
Sample T-test.
Results: The results showed that all treatment groups were able to significantly reduce blood glucose and
MDA levels (p<0.05) at a single dose of Snakehead fish powder 300 mg/kg.bw (0.378 µmol/mL), bitter melon
extract 150 mg/kg.bw (0.425 µmol/mL) and a combination of Snakehead fish powder 300 mg/kg.bw and bitter
melon extract 150 mg/kg.bw (0.397µmol/mL) when compared to the negative control.
