Antioxidant action of fermented grain food supplement: Scavenging of peroxyl radicals and inhibition of plasma lipid oxidation induced by multiple oxidants

Indigenous cinnamon ( Cinnamomum osmophloeum Kaneh) is a native tree species in Taiwan and has been reported to have various bioactivities including insecticidal, larvicidal, and antimicrobial effects. The chemical finger print of C. osmophloeum is similar to that of commercial cinnamon species with lower coumarin content. The present study was aimed to investigate the antidyslipidemia effects of indigenous cinnamon ( Cinnamomum osmophloeum Kaneh) leaf powder (CoLP) on hypercholesterolemia hamsters. Hyperlipidemia was induced by high-cholesterol (HChol) diet for 4 weeks. Two percent and 5% CoLP, and gemfibrozil (positive control; 0.25%) were administered for 10 weeks following HChol diet. Control groups were fed with normal diet (ND) or ND+5% CoLP. Behavioral, physiological, and serum biochemical parameters were determined. We found that oral administration of CoLP for 10 weeks significantly reduced the HChol-induced increase of total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride, and low-density lipoprotein levels in plasma of hamsters. In addition, HChol-induced elevation of serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase and glutamic pyruvic transaminase levels was significantly reversed by CoLP in a dose-dependent manner, whereas blood urea nitrogen and creatinine levels were unaffected. Further standard diagnostic tests support that consumption of CoLP did not show any behavioral and morphological changes in hamsters. Furthermore, chemical composition analysis revealed that two new flavanol glycosides, kaempferol-3- O-α-l-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2)-α-l-arabinofuranosyl-7- O-α-l-rhamnopyranoside (4) and kaempferol-3- O-β -d-apiofuranosyl-(1→2)-α-l-arabinofuranoside (5) along with 4 known flavonoid glycosides were identified in leaves of C. osmophloeum. Taken together, these results concluded that CoLP possessed strong antidyslipidemic effects. Therefore, C. osmophloeum leaves could be a safe food supplement for treating hypercholesterolemia.

PENGARUH VCO MENGANDUNG EKSTRAK WORTEL TERHADAP PEROKSIDASI LIPID PLASMA Lidya Irma Momuat1), Meiske S. Sangi1), Ni Putu Purwati2) 1)Program Studi Kimia FMIPA Universitas Sam Ratulangi, Manado 95115; 2)Alumni Program Studi Kimia FMIPA Universitas Sam Ratulangi, Manado 95115 ABSTRAK Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengukur tingkat oksidasi lipid dalam plasma darah tikus yang diberi pakan VCO mengandung ekstrak wortel. Tikus Wistar jantan pada penelitian ini dibagi menjadi empat kelompok, yaitu (I) pakan standar (kontrol), (II) 10% VCO tanpa ekstrak wortel, (III) 10% VCO mengandung ekstrak wortel dan (IV) 10% minyak jagung. Setelah 4 minggu masa perlakuan, plasma darah dipisahkan dengan sentrifugasi untuk analisis tingkat oksidasi plasma dengan mengukur konsentrasi malondialdehida (MDA) menggunakan metode uji asam tiobarbiturat. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa konsentrasi MDA tertinggi terdapat pada kelompok tikus yang diberi minyak jagung (11,253 mM), diikuti kelompok kontrol (10,167 mM), lalu kelompok tikus yang diberi VCO mengandung ekstrak wortel (8,656 mM) dan VCO (8,269 mM). Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa tingkat oksidasi lipid plasma tikus yang diberi VCO mengandung ekstrak wortel relatif sama dengan yang diberi VCO tanpa ekstrak wortel, tetapi lebih rendah daripada kontrol dan yang diberi minyak jagung. Kata kunci: malondialdehida, minyak kelapa, wortel EFFECT OF VIRGIN COCONUT OIL (VCO) CONTAINING CARROT EXTRACT ON PLASMA LIPID PEROXIDATION ABSTRACT The aim of this study was measure the level of lipid oxidation in the blood plasma of rats fed VCO containing carrot extracts. Male Wistar rats in this study were divided into four groups: (i) control, (II) 10% VCO without the carrot extract, (III) 10% VCO containing carrot extracts, and (IV) 10% corn oil. After 4 weeks of treatment, blood from each rat was taken by syringe. Plasma is separated from whole blood by centrifugation for analysis of plasma oxidation levels by measuring the malondialdehyde (MDA) concentration using tiobarbituric acid test. The results showed that the highest concentration of MDA was found in rats fed corn oil (11.253 m M), followed by the control group (10.167 m M), then rats fed VCO containing carrot extract (8.656 m M) and VCO (8.269 m M). This study concluded that the level of plasma lipid oxidation in rats fed VCO containing carrot extracts is relatively similar to rats fed VCO without the carrot extract, but it is lower than the control and corn oil groups.
