Abstract

Pumpkins contain natural phenolic compounds which are potential antioxidants and have a bioactivity as medicines. These compounds can be found in stems, leaves, flowers, and fruits. Pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata) is one of the antidiabetic and antihyperglycemic traditional food which can be utillized as substances for enteral formula. The polysaccharide and pectin contents are claimed to reduce blood glucose levels and control glycemic levels. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of skin, mesocarp and pumpkin seeds (Cucurbita moschata ) on hemoglobin and glucose levels. The study is an experimental study conducted at a laboratory with 24 male BALB/c mice which were given a methanol extract of mesocarp, seeds and pumpkin skin for 14 days in the integration laboratory of Sunan Ampel State Islamic University. Data analysis used the Anova One Way test. The results of the study indicate that there are differences in hemoglobin levels in each test group (p-value = 0,015). The LSD follow-up test indicates that the mesocarp and seed groups and the control and seed groups are two significantly different groups. However, there is no difference in glucose levels in each test group (p-value = 0,171).
