본 연구는 db/db mice에 대한 구아바 잎(Pg), 바나바 잎(Ls) 추출물 그리고 혼합물 A (바나바, 구아바, 뽕, 솔잎 그리고 가시오가피 뿌리 추출물)의 효과를 조사하였다. 4주간 db/db mice에 이들 추출물을 섭취시킨 결과 Pg, Ls 그리고 혼합물 A의 섭취는 당뇨 대조군에 비해 체중, 혈당, 인슐린을 감소시켰으며 이들 중에서 혼합물 A의 감소효과가 가장 높았다. 이들 추출물은 당뇨 대조군에 비해 총 콜레스테롤, 중성지방, 유리지방산을 감소시켰으며 이들 중에서 혼합물 A의 항고지혈증 효과가 가장 뛰어났다. 또한 혼합물 A는 당뇨 대조군에 비해 Langerhans' islets의 손상을 유의하게 감소시켰다. 따라서 혼합물 A는 포함된 구성물질의 상호보완적인 약리작용에 의해 체중증가의 부작용이 없이 고혈당을 개선시키는 유익한 상승효과를 발휘한 것으로 나타났다.

This research focused on the natural durability of twenty one lesser known tropical wood species planted in West Java, Indonesia against subterranean termite (Coptotermes curvignathus). It was observed that both heartwood and sapwood of Kiara payung (Filicium decipiens); heartwoods of Nangka (Arthocarpus heterophyllus), Mahoni (Swietenia macrophylla) and Simpur (Dillenia grandifolia); and sapwood of Bungur (Lagerstroemia speciosa) were rated as resistant (natural durability class II) according to Indonesian standard SNI 01.7207.2006 (BSN 2006). Both heartwood and sapwood of Salam (Syzigium polyanthum), Pasang (Lithocarpus sundaicus), Bisbul (Diospyros discolor), Rukam (Flacourtia rukam) and Trembesi (Samanea saman); heartwood of Puspa (Schima walichii), Bungur, Tanjung (Mimusops elangi) and Angsana (Pterocarpus indicus) were rated as moderately resistant (natural durability class III). Both heartwood and sapwood of Sungkai (Peronema canescens), Pine (Pinus merkusii), Mangium (Acacia mangium) and Afrika (Maesopsis eminii); sapwoods of Mahoni, Puspa and Tanjung were rated as poorly resistant (natural durability class IV). Both heartwood and sapwood of Agathis (Agathis dammara), Durian (Durio zibethinus), Ki sampang (Evodia latifolia) and Jabon (Anthocephalus cadamba); sapwoods of Nangka and Angsana were rated as very poorly resistant (natural durability class V). This reserach showed that woods with lower resistance against C. curvignathus attack (natural durability class IV and V) tend to have lower termite mortality values compared to woods with higher resistance against C. curvignathus attack (natural durability class II and III). Results of the study will provide some valuable information on termite resistance of twenty one lesser known tropical wood species planted in Indonesia.
