EFFECT OF PROBIOTIC AND PREBIOTIC CONSUMPTION ON BLOOD CHOLESTEROL LEVEL IN THE ELDERLY IN POSYANDU MANISJANGAN YOGYAKARTA

Background: With advanced age, an increase in lipid profile is associated with the incidence of cardiovascular disease. Previous studies showed that the administration of probiotic and/or prebiotic are effective in improving lipid profiles. However, other studies have also shown that probiotic and prebiotic had insignificant effects on lipid profiles.Objectives: Determined the effects of probiotic and prebiotic on blood cholesterol level in the elderly.Methods: A total of 64 elderly who did not take cholesterol-lowering drugs enrolled in the quasi-experiment pretest-posttest design and were assigned to three interventions and control groups. The subjects in PRE-group consumed 100 grams of mung bean porridge per day; the subjects in PRO-group consumed 65 ml of fermented milk enriched with Lactobacillus casei Shirota strain per day; the subjects in PREPRO-group consumed 100 grams of mung bean porridge and 65 ml of fermented milk enriched with Lactobacillus casei Shirota strain per day. All intervention groups received treatment for 4 weeks. The control group did not receive any treatment during the study. Before and after treatment, cholesterol data was collected. Paired t-test, ANOVA, Post-hoc LSD were used for statistical analysis.Results There was an increase in cholesterol levels in PRE, PRO, PREPRO-groups (12.93 mg/dL; 48.37 mg/dL; and 7.62 mg/dL). Among the three intervention groups, only the consumption of probiotic was significant for changes in blood cholesterol levels (p 0.023). The administration of various interventions did not have a significant effect on changes in cholesterol levels (p 0.246) when compared to the control group.Conclusion: Prebiotic and probiotic do not lower blood cholesterol level in the elderly in Posyandu Manisjangan Yogyakarta.

Total Blood Cholesterol

Background: Cholesterol is a fat that does not dissolve easily in the blood. Most of the cholesterol in the blood is attached to specific protein carriers in the plasma in the form of lipoprotein complexes, which are soluble in water. Lipoprotein which carries cholesterol throughout the body. namely LDL (Low Density Lipoprotein) and HDL (High Density Lipoprotein). An increase in LDL in the body tends to form atherosclerosis. In contrast HDL cholesterol inhibits LDL oxidation so that atherosclerotic plaque formation does not occur. Obesity is one of the risk factors for atherosclerosis with manifestations of coronary heart disease. Handling of obesity has been done by many researchers and implemented. One ingredient from nature that serves as an alternative ingredient to lower blood cholesterol levels is avocado. Objective: To determine the effect of avocado administration on total blood cholesterol levels in the obese college students at the Medical Faculty of Nommensen HKBP University in 2019. Methods :This research is a pre-experimental study with a pre-post test design in one group. The sample was selected by purposive sampling method and obtained 20 obese students. Subjects consumed avocado juice every day for 14 days. Total cholesterol levels were measured before (day 0) and after (day 14) treatment. Results: The mean total cholesterol level of the subject's blood on the pretest examination was 188.10 mg / dL and the posttest examination was 180.05 mg / dL. There was a decrease in the average total blood cholesterol level of 8.05 mg / dl. Paired T-test showed that there was a non-significant decrease in mean total blood cholesterol level with a value of p = 0.068 (p <0.05). Conclusion: In this study there was no effect of avocado administration on total blood cholesterol levels in obese students.

Tetracera indica Merr. locally known as Mampelas is commonly used in traditional remedies. It believed to have the potential to cure hypercholesterolemia. The potential use of this plant to lower blood cholesterol level was understudied; therefore this study aimed to determine the effect of the infusion of fresh leaves of Tetracera indica to the blood cholesterol levels of mice. This research was true experimental design, a post-test only design with nonequivalent (control) groups. This study used 25 male mice divided into five categories, i.e., P0 mice were administered with 0 g of infusion, P1 mice with 2 g infusion, P2 mice with 5 g infusion, P3 mice with 10 g infusion, and P4 mice without Tetracera indica infusion but 10 mg of simvastatin. The treatment in all categories were given continuously for seven days. The results showed the mean of the blood cholesterol levels were 169.4 ± 59.37 mg/dL in P0, 121.8 ± 7.62 mg/dL in P1, 136.2 ± 15.69 mg/dL in P2, 110.6 ± 37 , 01 mg/dL in P3 , and 179,0 ± 35,24 mg/dL in P4. Kruskal Wallis test was calculated to determine the difference of blood cholesterol level among all groups, and it reported p < 0.05. The results of this study showed that infusion of Tetracera indica leaf was significantly lowered the level of blood cholesterol in mice.

OBJECTIVE: People generally use lime and lemon when weight reduction is anticipated. This work was carried out to determine the effect of these fruits in hypercholesterolaemic induced rats. MATERIALS AND METHOD: Sixteen (16) albino rats were used and grouped into four groups of four (4) each. The rats were allowed to acclimatize and fed with egg yolk for seven days to induce hypercholesterolaemic state. Water, lemon, lime and lime+lemon were administered to these groups respectively. Cholesterol level was analyzed in all the groups after two (2) weeks of the administration of the fruits. RESULTS: The result showed a statistical decrease in the groups treated with lime, lemon and lime+lemon. The lime+lemon group showed a more significant decrease (p<0.05) in both cholesterol level and body weight when compared with the control group and other groups. This reduction may be as a result of the contents of the fruits. CONCLUSION: It can therefore be concluded that lime and lemon helps in the lowering of blood cholesterol level and body weight.

Background: Hypertension is influenced by lifestyle factors such as high fat intake which has the potential for high blood cholesterol level. Cocoa products, which are rich sources of flavonoids, have been shown to reduce blood pressure and the risk of cardiovascular disease.Aims: The purpose of this research is to examine the dark chocolate consumption in decreasing the level of blood cholesterol and triglyceride in hypertension patients.Methods: This research is a quasi-experiment study with pre and post and control group design. There were thirty two (32) hypertensive patients selected from Jatiroto Health Center in June-July 2018 using a random sampling technique. The respondents were then divided to (1) a control group where patients were prescribed to a popular non-pharmacological therapy Simvastatin and (2) an intervention group where the respondents were prescribed with Simvastatin and also received an additional dark chocolate 60gr/day (given twice a day, each 30gr) for 15 days. A spectrophotometer glycerol phosphate oxidase (GPO-POD) with 546 nm wavelength was employed to measure the levels of blood cholesterol and triglyceride. The significant mean difference between pre and posttest, and the changes between control and intervention group were defined by statistical analysis T-test.Results: This study acknowledged that the prescribed simvastatin alone presents a significant contribution to decrease the cholesterol level at 14.40 point (p value = 0.041), however, the generic is not enough to deliver a significant effect to the decrease of triglyceride level in the hypertension patients (p value = 0.361). A great contribution to the depression of cholesterol and triglyceride level in the hypertensive respondent was observed if simvastatin prescription was combined with a provision of 60 gram dark chocolate, respectively to the level of 57.06 and 38.41 mg/dL with p value = 0.001. The addition of dark chocolate in the simvastatin prescription will significantly reduce the blood cholesterol level (p value = 0.020), but not really effective to reduce the triglyceride (p value = 0.560).Conclusion: The findings suggest that giving dark chocolate to the hypertensive patients who receive simvastatin prescription will decrease the cholesterol and triglyceride levels greater than the consumption of simvastatin drugs alone.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of simvastatin, by oral or subcutaneous administration, on tibial defects regeneration and blood cholesterol level in rats. A surgical defect was made on the right tibia of 40 male animals assigned to 4 groups (n=10), based on two routes of administration and on the use or not of simvastatin: subcutaneous injection of simvastatin (7 mg/kg) (group AT) or only the vehicle of drug suspension (group AC), above the defect area, for 5 days; and 20 mg/kg of simvastatin macerated on water (group BT) or only water (group BC), orally, daily, during the whole observation period. The animals were sacrificed after 15 or 30 days, when blood samples were analyzed to check plasma cholesterol levels. Tibiae were removed and, after decalcification and routine laboratorial processing, histological and histomorphometrical analyses were carried out. ANOVA was used for statistical analysis at 5% signficance level. The histological and histomorphometrical analyses showed significant differences only between the experimental periods (p<0.05). Animals sacrificed after 30 days showed better bone repair (p<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference (p>0.05) for blood cholesterol levels between the groups. In conclusion, simvastatin administration either orally or subcutaneously did not improve bone repair of experimental tibial defects and did not alter blood cholesterol levels in rats.

Cholesterol Levels

Pediatric preventive cardiology has as one of its goals, the reduction in incidence and severity of cardiovascular disease in adults by the promotion of prudent life-styles in children and adolescents. Few would find fault with this goal, yet the "best" approach and strategy to reduce atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease has been the source of controversy.1-4 The recently published National Institutes of Health Consensus Conference Statement on lowering blood cholesterol to prevent heart disease has summarized the literature relating blood cholesterol and heart disease.5 The strategies recommended include: (1) dietary changes to reduce total dietary fat, saturated fat, and dietary cholesterol consumption in everyone older than 2 years of age, (2) universal blood cholesterol screening for all adults older than 18 years of age, (3) more intensive diet therapy for those with a blood cholesterol level ≥75th percentile, (4) possible addition of drug therapy for individuals whose blood cholesterol levels remain ≥75th percentile despite diet therapy, and (5) in individuals with elevated blood cholesterol levels, emphasis on management of other coronary heart disease risk factors: hypertension, cigarette smoking, diabetes and physical inactivity. The European Atherosclerosis Society has also recently advocated screening the population to find those at high risk (eg, those with an elevated blood cholesterol level in conjunction with population strategies to improve nutrition, eradicate smoking, control hypertension, and promote suitable physical activity.6
