Hyperglycemia is the main hallmark of DM, which is caused by elevated levels of Advanced Glycation-End Products (AGE) and Receptor for AGE (RAGE) interaction. AGE-RAGE interaction further develops a progressive diabetic complication due to excessive free radical production. Hydrogen-rich water (HW) are known to have a beneficial effect on health as an antioxidant and anti-inflammation. The objective of the study was to investigate the effect of HW on the AGE-RAGE expression in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. Rats divided randomly into five groups: N (healthy rats); DM (STZ + High-fat diet (HFD)) without additional treatment); DM + Met (DM + metformin dose 45 mg/kg BW); DM + HW (DM + Hydrogen-rich water); and DM + MH (DM + combination metformin and hydrogen-rich water). Rats were treated with HW or metformin for fourteen days and given per orally per day. At the end of treatment, rats were sacrificed and the pancreas was collected. AGE-RAGE expression was determined using the immunohistochemistry method. Our result suggested that either HW or HW combined with metformin declines AGE-RAGE expression significantly (p < 0.05) compared to DM rats. HW is expected to delayed organ damage by improves AGE-RAGE expression in STZ-induced diabetic rats. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
