ABSTRAK
Daun alpukat (Persea americana Mill) dan buah oyong (Luffa acutangula (L.)Roxb.) merupakan tanaman yang secara empiris digunakan untuk berbagaipenyakit, salah satunya diabetes. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui efekpenurunan kadar glukosa darah kombinasi ekstrak etanol daun alpukat dan buahoyong pada mencit. Dua puluh empat ekor mencit putih jantan galur ddY yangdibagi dalam enam kelompok. Mencit dipuasakan ±16 jam, kemudian diukurkadar glukosa darah puasa, lalu diberikan ekstrak daun alpukat, ekstrak buahoyong, ekstrak kombinasi, metformin HCl, dan larutan CMC 0,5%. Tiga puluhmenit setelahnya, diukur kembali kadar glukosa, lalu diberikan glukosa 2 g/kg bbperoral. Pengukuran dilakukan pada menit ke-30, 60, 90, 120 setelah pemberianglukosa. Kadar glukosa darah diukur menggunakan glukometer Accu-ChekActive®. Pemberian kombinasi ekstrak 1, daun alpukat 50 mg/kg bb dan buahoyong 200 mg/kg bb dapat menurunkan kadar glukosa darah yang bermaknasecara statistik pada setengah jam setelah pemberian glukosa, sedangkankombinasi ekstrak 2, daun alpukat 100 mg/kg bb dan buah oyong 200 mg/kg bbdapat menurunkan kadar glukosa darah yang bermakna pada satu jam setelahpemberian glukosa.

Abstract
Avocado leaves (Persea americana Mill ) and ridge gourd fruit (Luffa acutangula(L.) Roxb) is a plant that empirically used for various diseases, one of them isdiabetes. The aim of this research was to know the blood glucose lowering effectof combination extract ethanol avocado leaves and ridge gourd fruit on mice.Twenty-four of ddY mice white male which was divided into six groups. Eachmice was fasted for ±16 hours, then measured blood glucose levels of fasting, andadministered extract avocado leaves, extract ridge gourd fruit, extractcombinations, metformin HCl, and CMC liquid 0,5%. Thirty minutes later,measured back glucose levels, and administered glucose 2 g/ kg bw orally. Bloodglucose then was measured in 30, 60, 90, and 120 minutes after glucoseadministration. Blood glucose was measured using Accu-Chek Active®glucometer. Combination extract 1, avocado leaves 50 mg / kg bb and ridge gourdfruit 200 mg/ kg bw was able to lower glucose levels in 30 minutes after glucoseadministration, while combination extract 2, avocado leaves 100 mg / kg bw andridge gourd fruit 200 mg/ kg bw was able to lower blood glucose levels in onehour after glucose administration.
