Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease caused by endothelial dysfunction and lipid accumulation, which can be triggered by a high-fat diet. This study aimed to assess the effect of kersen leaf extract (Muntingia calabura) on the degree of atherosclerosis in male Wistar rats, histopathologically. Fifteen rats were randomly divided into three groups (n=5): P1 (standard diet), P2 (high-…
Inulin is a natural polysaccharide that can enhance glucose metabolism and reduce cholesterol levels through the formation of short-chain fatty acids. These effects are thought to prevent atherosclerosis, one of the chronic complications of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This study aimed to determine the effect of inulin extract from dahlia tubers on the thickness of the thoracic aorta intima…
Lumbar Spinal Stenosis (LSS) is caused by narrowing of the vertebral canal due to degenerative changes in the intervertebral discs, facet joints, and ligamentum flavum, leading to clinical symptoms such as low back pain and neurogenic claudication resulting from nerve or vascular compression. This study aims to identify the general profile and functional status of postoperative Lumbar Spinal St…
Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia that leads to endothelial dysfunction and accelerates atherosclerosis. Vascular Cell Adhesion Molecule-1 (VCAM-1) plays a key role in this process. Inulin, a prebiotic fiber from dahlia tubers, has anti-inflammatory properties through inhibition of the NF-κB pathway. This experimental study aimed to evaluat…
