Abstract
This research was aimed to determine the potency of hipocholestrolemic and hipoglycemic of oyek from dried fermented cassava with addition of cowpeas sprout through in vivo bioassay by using Sprague Dawley male rats. The treatments of the research were rat condition and feed treatment. The first treatment were normal rats and diabetic rats which was induced by aloxan injection, and the second treatment were standart feed and oyek feed which was prepared by subtitution of corn strach in standart feed with the oyek.). The blood triglyceride, cholesterol total, High Density Lipoprotein (HDL), Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL), and glucose of rats were analysed on 3th, and 18 th days for the treatment and before the treatment as control (0th). The result of this research showed that the potency of hypocholesterolemic were shown by decreasing of blood triglyceride, cholesterol total, LDL, and increasing of blood HDL in diabetics rats with oyek treatment. The potency of hypoglycemic were shown by decreasing of blood glucose level in diabetic rats with oyek treatment. On 18th days treatment, The blood glucose of the diabetic rats with standard feed increased and they were still diabetec. While the blood glucose of diabetic rats with oyek feed treatment reduced 20% on 18th days after the treatment, although they are still diabetic. That was indicated that oyek might be potential to normalize blood glucose for more than 18 days feed treatment.
