Considering the excellent bio-therapeutic benefits of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium, this study exploited the probiotic characteristics of Lactobacillus acidophilus-015, Lactobacillus casei-297 and Bifidobacterium bifidum-229 strains with natural prebiotic substances viz. banana powder, malto-dextrin and honey to produce synbiotic food formulations and to study the effect of feeding their on the cholesterol level (mg/dl) of albino rats. On the basis of the preliminary investigation, synbiotic products with 2% banana powder, with 2% malto-dextrin, with 3% honey and synbiotic product with 2% each of, banana powder and malto-dextrin and 1% of honey were selected for the investigation of the total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol and non-HDL cholesterol. The products showed a significant decrease in total cholesterol level, however the control group receiving the cholesterol rich laboratory diet showed a significant increase (P LESS THEN 0.01) in the total cholesterol after 45 days of feeding. There was 25.81 to 45.05% reduction of serum cholesterol was observed in case of feeding synbiotic formulations. Increase in the HDL-cholesterol and decrease in the non-HDL cholesterol were also significant. Therefore, synbiotic formulation with all these three natural prebiotic have enhanced ability to decreased down the blood cholesterol level.

Latar Belakang: Dislipidemia adalah terjadinya kelainan metabolisme lipid, baik peningkatan maupun penurunan fraksi lipid dalam darah. Kelainan fraksi lipid yang utama adalah kenaikan kadar kolesterol total, kenaikan kadar LDL, kenaikan kadar trigliserida serta penurunan kadar HDL. Tingginya kadar lipid dalam darah dapat menyebabkan terjadinya aterosklerosis, yang ditandai dengan terdapatnya ateroma pada bagian intima arteri yang berisi kolesterol, zat lipoid, dan lipofag. Perkembangan lebih lanjut dari aterosklerosis ini akan menimbulkan komplikasi pada organ target diantaranya jantung dan otak. Tujuan Penelitian: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh pemberian ekstrak etanol herba poguntano (EEHP) terhadap profil lipid tikus putih jantan dislipidemia (penurunan kadar kolesterol total, kadar trigliserida, kadar LDL dan peningkatan kadar HDL) serta terhadap proses aterosklerosis. Metode Penelitian: Penelitian ini dilakukan terhadap 30 ekor tikus putih jantan yang dibagi dalam 6 kelompok. Kelompok I sebagai kontrol normal, kelompok II sebagai kontrol negatif diberikan Na-CMC dosis 10 ml/kg bb, kelompok III sebagai kontrol positif diberikan atorvastatin dosis 2 mg/kg bb, kelompok IV, V, dan VI sebagai kelompok perlakuan diberi EEHP dosis 75, 150 dan 300 mg/kg bb. Hewan uji diberi induksi pakan tinggi lemak yang berupa campuran kuning telur puyuh, minyak jelantah, dan lemak sapi selama 14 hari berturut-turut untuk mendapatkan hewan uji dislipidemia yang dilanjutkan dengan treatment selama 14 hari berturut-turut. Pengukuran kadar profil lipid dilakukan pada hari ke-28. Hasil: Hasil analisis statistik menunjukkan bahwa EEHP dapat menurunkan kadar kolesterol total, kadar trigliserida, dan kadar LDL serta dapat meningkatkan kadar HDL secara nyata (p < 0,05). Kesimpulan: Berdasarkan hasil diatas, dapat disimpulkan bahwa EEHP mempuyai pengaruh terhadap profil lipid tikus dislipidemia (penurunan kadar kolesterol total, kadar trigliserida, kadar LDL dan peningkatan kadar HDL) serta dapat mencegah proses terjadinya aterosklerosis. Background: Dysplipidemia is a lipid metabolism dysfunctionsuch as the incline and the decline of blood lipid profile. The main abnormallipid fractionlevel are the increase of total cholesterol level, LDL level, and triglyceride and the decline of HDL level. The high level of blood lipid can cause atherosclerosis with the atheroma in arterial intima that contains cholesterol, lipoid, and lipophage. The advance stage of atherosclerosis can cause complications to target organs such as heart and brain. Objectives: This research aimed to evaluate the effects of herbapurganto (PiciaPicriaFelTerraeLour) ethanol extract on Lipid Profile of Dyspilidemic Male Rat(the decline of total cholesterol level, triglyceride level, LDL level, and the increase of HDL level) and also the atherosclerosis process. Research method: This research was conducted to 30male ratswhich dividedinto 6 groups. Group 1was served as the normal control, Group 2was servedas negative controls which were given 10 ml/kg bb Na-CMC , Group 3 was served as positive controls which were given 2 mg/kg bb of atorvastatin dosage, Group 4, 5, and 6 were served as the treatment group, and administered with EEHP at the dose of 75, 150, and 300 mg/kb bb .

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.

Introduction: Simvastatin is a primary pharmacological therapy for dyslipidemia (hypercholesterolemia). Virgin coconut oil (VCO) is a companion intake of statin drugs considered capable of lowering blood cholesterol levels. This study aimed to determine the combination effect of statin drug groups with VCO on total cholesterol.Methods: The stages of this study started with the adaptation process of animals, giving a high-fat diet (HFD), and treatment with simvastatin and VCO. The adaptation process was conducted where the experimental animals were fed pellets and drank clean water in a container. A HFD was given by mixing pork brains with distilled water with a ratio of 1:3 as much as 2 ml per day for 21 days. In simvastatin and VCO treatment for 7 days, the experimental animals were divided into 4 groups; group I was given aquades, group II was given VCO, group III was given simvastatin, and group IV was given simvastatin and VCO. The total cholesterol levels in the blood of albino rats were examined by employing a BS-300 Chemistry Analyzer through a spectrophotometric method. The total cholesterol levels data obtained were then examined for normality (Shapiro-Wilk test) and analyzed parametrically by utilizing One-way ANOVA.Results: The average total cholesterol level in the negative control group (being given a standard diet) was 45.57 mg/dL. The averages of blood total cholesterol levels were 47.28 mg/dL, 45.00 mg/dL, 46.85 mg/dL, 41.42 mg/dL, and 44.28 mg/dL in the positive control group (given an HFD), in the treatment group I, in the treatment group II, in the treatment group III, and in the treatment group IV, respectively. There were no significant distinctions in the statistical test on decreasing blood total cholesterol among the negative control group, positive controls I, II, III, and IV.Conclusion: Combination of simvastatin and VCO tends to reduce the total cholesterol level in albino rats. This is better than just giving VCO simvastatin alone.
