pengaruh transplantasi allograf pancreatic stem cell terhadap kadar insulin dan c-peptide tikus putih penderita diabetes melitus tipe i

Diabetes mellitus is one of the degenerative diseases in which the therapy still remains unresolved and is still a serious threat to the global health, including to the health of Indonesian people. The aim of this study was to describe the level of insulin and C-peptide in diabetes mellitus type I white rats treated with pancreatic stem cell allograft through intrapancreatic laparotomy. This study was conducted at the Institute of Tropical Diseases, Universitas Airlangga, Surabaya in a 6 month period (July–December 2014). Twelve male white rats Rattus novergicus Wistar strain, were randomly divided into two groups. The first group (P0) was injected by alloxan, 150 mg/kg body weight, without stem cell therapy. Another group was injected by alloxan, 150 mg/kg body weight, and was treated with 1x106/kg body weight pancreatic stem cell throughintrapancreatic laparotomy (P1). The experiment was finalized on the 31th day of the experiment. The results showed that the blood glucose levels at the end of experiment were highly significantly different p<0.01 between the treatment group that received stem cell therapy (P1) and P0 positive control, although the average value of blood glucose levels was not as normal as on the first day. C-peptide and insulin levels of P0 and P1 group differed significantly (p<0.01). It can be concluded that stem cell therapy through intrapancreatic laparotomy can reduce blood glucose levels and increase the levels of C-peptide and insulin.
