Bioavailability of Cane Sugar and Palm Sugar as Source of Energy in Wistar Rats (Ketersediaan Hayati (Biovailability) Gula Putih dan Gula Aren sebagai Sumber Enerji pada Tikus Wistar)

---

Sixty male rats with the age of two months, weight 160-170 g were divided into three groups i.e A, B and C each of 20 animals. Each rat was located in one cage. Group A was given stock-diet, group B and C were given either stock-diet 44 percent plus 56 percent cane sugar-diet 44 percent plus 56 percent cane sugar stock-diet 44 percent plus 56 percent brown sugar. Diet and drinking water were given daily ad libitum. The experiment lasted for three months. Body weights and blood glucose of all animals were examined at the end of experiment. Results showed that the average body weights of the three groups did not differ significantly (p more than 0.05). Blood glucose of stock-diet group differ significantly with that of brown sugar group (p less than 0.01) however blood glucose of brown sugar and cane sugar did not differ significantly. Food consumption of the three groups was found significantly different. The highest was found in brown sugar group followed by cane sugar group and stock-diet group, however, the correlation between food consumption and blood glucose level was not positive. It is concluded that the bioavailability of cane and brown sugar was almost similar.
