Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disease characterized by chronic hyperglycemia than often requires antidiabetic drugs (AD) to control fasting blood glucose (FBG) levels. However, long-term use of AD has side effects. Red rice bran is a natural food containing flavonoids and anthocyanins, rich in antioxidants. However, the antidiabetic effect of rice bran is yet to be understood. This study aimed to determine the effect of ethanol extract of red rice bran (EERRB) on the levels of FBG, insulin, HOMA-IR, HOMA-ꞵ, and QUICKI on male rats induced by streptozotocin-nicotinamide (STZ-NA). This study was a pretest-posttest control group design. White male Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus) (n=35) were divided into five groups randomly i.e P1 negative control (STZ-NA), P2 positive control (STZ-NA and acarbose 1.8 mg/200 g BW), P3, P4, P5 EERRB groups (STZ-NA and EERRB 165, 330, 660 mg/kg BW). The intervention was performed in 21 days. The data were analyzed using one way ANOVA test, paired t-test and Post Hoc test. EERRB effectively reduced FBG and HOMA-IR but increased insulin, HOMA-ꞵ and QUICKI in STZ-NA induced diabetic male rats. In conclusion, this shows that EERRB 330 and 660 mg/kgBW/day have the most potent antidiabetic effect.
