Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the cause of 7,3 million death globally in 2008. The main pathophysiology process that leads to CHD is atherosclerosis which is caused by high LDL cholesterol level. The aim of this study was to explore bay leaf and celery leaf infusion effect on reducing LDL cholesterol level in dyslipidemic rat model. The type of this study was true experimental research using wistar rat (Rattus novergicus) as the sample. The rats were induced by high fat diet and PTU for two weeks then each of the group were given either bay leaf infusion, celery leaf infusion, simvastatin (positive control), or aquadest (negative control) for a week. The measurement of LDL level used Friedewald formulation. Data was analyzed using paired sample t test and one way ANOVA. As the result there was a significance reduction on LDL level after treatment with bay leaf (p=0,013) and celery leaf infusion (p=0,035) but there was no significance difference between groups (p=0,293). It was concluded that bay leaf and celery leaf infusion could reduce the LDL level in dyslipidemic wistar rat but there was no difference on the capability of the two different leafs on reducing LDL level. Keywords: dyslipidemia, LDL, bay leaf, celery leaf, wistar rats

A high-fat diet can increase lipoprotein levels, total cholesterol, (Low Density Lipoprotein) LDL, and triglycerides. Starfruit has saponin and flavonoid compounds which are expected to reducing LDL cholesterol levels. The aim of the study was to determine the effect of starfruit juice on lowering the blood cholesterol LDL of Wistar rats fed with high-fat diet. Experimental study with post-test only control group design. As many as 24 male white rats from the Wistar strain were divided into 3 groups: negative control groups (K-) that were given standard feed for 28 days; positive control group (K+) who were given a high-fat diet for 28 days; the treatment group (KP) was given a high-fat diet for 28 days and on the 15th day 28th they were given a starfruit juice with a dose of 4ml / 200grBB / day. Day 29 measured LDL cholesterol. The statistic test showed a significant increase in LDL cholesterol levels (p=0.001) in the positive control group (x=12.125±2.642 mg/dL) compared to the negative control group (x=7.625±1.506 mg/dL). There was no significant different the mean cholesterol level of the treatment group (x=11±1.927) compared to the mean LDL cholesterol level of the positive control group (x=12.125±2.642). A high-fat diet significantly increases the mean LDL cholesterol level. Starfruit juice did not significantly reduce LDL cholesterol level.

Hyperlipidaemia is a well documented risk factor for cardiovascular disease, a major cause of mortality world-wide. Chrysophyllum albidum (white star apple) has several medicinal properties.  Ingestion of the fruits has been found to lower lipid levels in the body, due to its high fibre content. Research works have shown that several parts of the plant are highly medicinal. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antihyperlipidaemic property of methanol leaf extract of Chrysophyllum albidum in Wistar rats fed with a high fat diet. Thirty male Wistar rats weighing between 130g-150g were distributed into five groups of six animals each. Group 1 received normal fat diet (NFD). Group 2 received high fat diet (HFD; Grower mash supplemented with 20% beef tallow). Group 3 received HFD and a standard lipid lowering drug, orlistat (20mg/kg body weight, p.o).  Animals in group 4 and 5 were fed on HFD and received methanol leaf extract of Chrysophyllum albidum, 250mg/kg and 500mg/kg, p.o respectively. The administration was carried out for 56 days. On the 57th day, animals were sacrificed by cervical dislocation. Organs were harvested and blood samples were collected for biochemical analyses. Results showed that the administration of HFD increased the total cholesterol, LDL-Cholesterol, triglycerides levels and decreased the HDL- cholesterol levels significantly (p <0.05). Simultaneous administration of Chrysophyllum albidum extract significantly (p<0.05) reduced the total cholesterol, LDL-Cholesterol, triglycerides levels and increased HDL- Cholesterol. Final body weights of animals that received Chrysophyllum albidum extract were significantly (p<0.05) lower than final body weights of animals in groups 2 (negative control). Results from Histopathology revealed inflammation of the liver and kidney of rats in group 2 (negative control). On the other hand, rats that received orlistat and Chrysophyllum albidum extract had normal liver and kidney architecture. It was concluded that Chrysophyllum albidum extract showed antihyperlipidemic effect in rats fed with beef tallow supplemented diet.

This study aims to look at the histopathological picture of the dorsal arteries of the penis of the hiperlipidemic wistar rats (Rattus novergicus) induction by high-fat diet that seen in terms of lumen diameter and thickness of the arterial endotelium wall. Hyperlipidemia is a risk factor for ateriosclerosis in the penile arteries causing erectile dysfunction in men. This study is an experimental study with a randomized posttest only control goup design. The sample are  10 individuals adult male wistar rats aged 3-4 months with a range of body weight 150-200 grams. Before treatment, adaptation was carried out for 7 days. After that the sample rats in the treatment group were made hyperlidemic by feeding lard for 50 days. Then surgery is performed for histopathological preparations at the posttest. To determine the differences in endotelium thickness and arterial lumen diameter in the two groups, an independent t-test was used. Thick diameter data of the endotelium and dorsal arteries of the penis of the wistar rat between the lower treatment group and the control group. The difference that occurred was statistically significant (p <0.05). So it can be concluded that the provision of high-fat diet (hyperlipidemia) decreases the lumen diameter and endotelium thickness of dorsal arteries penis.

Abstract Objectives The study was aimed at assessing the effects of Lactobacillus rhamnosus yoba on the serum lipid profile and body weight of male Wistar rats fed a high fat diet. Methods 20 seven week old male rats weighing between 120 g and 180 g were used for the study and divided into 4 groups of 5 rats each. The control group was fed normal mice pellets and distilled water, while the other groups were fed mice pellets supplemented with 3% cholesterol and 2% saturated fat in addition to any of distilled water, Lactobacillus rhamnosus yoba or Norvastatin respectively. The body weight was measured at the start of the study and after 2 weeks while serum parameters were measured after 8 weeks. Data was analyzed using SPSS Version 20. ANOVA and Tukey's tests determined significant differences in means at 95% confidence interval. Results Lactobacillus rhamnosus yoba significantly (P < 0.005) modulated weight gain, serum total cholesterol and triglycerides when compared to the control. Similarly, LDL-cholesterol was significantly modulated (P < 0.005) while HDL-cholesterol was significantly enhanced (P < 0.005) when compared to the control. Conclusions The ability of Lactobacillus rhamnosus yoba to elevate HDL cholesterol and modulate LDL-cholesterol without the side effects of statins makes it a potential functional food. In line with the findings, the present study justifies the use of Lactobacillus rhamnosus yoba as a probiotic in fermented foods. Funding Sources NA.

Statins are first line therapy of antihyperlipidemia. It reduced LDL levels more than 50%. However, a serious side effects such as rhabdomyolisis which can lead to kidney failure. On other side, people often consumed boiled water of Temu Mangga’s Rhizome and/or Ketepeng Cina’s Leeaves as antihyperlipidemic. Both of them has a potential as adjuvant therapy. Purpose: To compare antihyperlipidemic activity of Temu Mangga’s Rhizome and Ketepeng Cina’s Leaves as alternative treatment. Method : Test animals were induced with High Fat Diet Food (HFDF) for the first 15 days, and with Temu Mangga’s Rhizome and Ketepeng Cina’s Leaves for the next 15 days. Study group: Simvastatin (positive control), Na CMC 0.5% (negative control), 450 mg/Kg BW; 900 mg/Kg BW; 1.800 mg/Kg BW of Temu Mangga’s Rhizome and 225 mg/Kg BW; 450 mg/Kg BW; and 900 mg/Kg BW Ketepeng Cina’s Leaves. Results: Temu Mangga 360 mg/200 gram BW was not significantly different from positive control in reducing total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL and increasing HDL. Ketepeng Cina’s Leaves 180 mg/200 gram BW had the best effect, but it was not comparable to the positive control. Conclusion: 1.800 mg/Kg BW Temu Mangga’s Rhizome showed better antiyperlipidemic activity than 900 mg/Kg BW Ketepeng Cina’s Leaves.

Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder characterized by the increasing levels of blood glucose as a result of either impaired of insulin secretion, insulin action, or both. Persistent hyperglycemia causes oxidative stress. Aloe vera is known of having an antioxidant activity. One of intrinsic antioxidant enzyme is superoxide dismutase (SOD) which eliminates superoxide radical. This research aims to determine the effect of Aloe vera gel on SOD level in STZ-induced diabetic Wistar rat liver. Wistar strain of Rattus novergicus used in this research were grouped into eight groups, consist of negative control (K-), non diabetic groups (NDM) consist of NDM 1 (dose of 30 mg/day), NDM 2 (dose of 60 mg/day), NDM 3 (dose of 120 mg/day), positive control (DM), and the DM group consists of DM 1 (dose of 30 mg/day), DM 2 (dose of 60 mg/day), and DM 3 (dose of 120 mg/day), with three replications each. Diabetic rats were induced using an intra-peritoneal injection of 60 mg/kg BW STZ. Three milliliters of Aloe vera gel were given intragastrointestinally for 14 days started from three days after injection of STZ. The level of liver SOD was measured with spectrophotometer.The results of One-Way Anova showed that Aloe vera gel has a significant effect on SOD levels (p< 0.05). Further analysis using LSD showed that only the treatment of NDM with 60 mg/day of Aloe vera gel giving a significant decreasing of SOD level compared to (K-). The conclusion is that Aloe vera has potency as a natural antioxidant. Keywords: Aloe vera, diabetes mellitus, superoxide dismutase (SOD), liver, streptozotocin (STZ)

Objective: The aim of this research was to investigate the potential of Sonneratia alba fruit extract to prevent atherosclerosis formation. Methods: Eighteen male Wistar rats were divided into standard or negative control (S), positive control (P) and treatment (T) groups. Atherosclerosis was induced in groups P and T by orally administering a single dose of Vitamin D3 and a high-fat diet for three days. Sonneratia alba fruit extract was given to the T-group for three days. Lipids were enzymatically measured and foam cells were counted in 10 fields of a microscopic view of the abdominal aorta. Results: This study showed higher cholesterol, LDL, HDL and triglyceride levels in the T-group, compared to the other groups. The average number of foam cells in the S-, P-and T-groups were 11.8±3.3 cells, 21.2±2.2 cells and 11.7±2.9 cells, respectively. Statistical analysis with One-Way Anova showed a significant difference in the average number of foam cells (p = 0.042). Further analysis showed a significant difference in the average number of foam cells in groups S with P (p = 0.041) and P with T (p = 0.024). Conclusion: Sonneratia alba fruit extract showed a potential effect to inhibit atherosclerosis process but could not suppress lipid levels in the blood.

Banana peels are the outer envelopes of banana fruits as the by-product of household consumption and banana processing. Kepok banana peel contains bioactive compounds that function as antioxidants which reduce the effects of free radicals. This research was conducted to determine the effect of giving Kepok banana peel extract on the number of basophilic cells in rats with a high-fat diet. The study used 25 male rats aged 2.5-3 months old, which alloted into 5 groups with 5 rats each. The first group was fed on standard feed (K1, positive control), while the second group given high-fat diet (K2, negative control). The rats in group 3, 4, and 5 were given high-fat diet + vitamin C (K3), high-fat diet + 100 mg/kg BW banana peel extract (K4), and high-fat diet + 200 mg/ kg BW banana peel extract (K5), respectively. A sample of the pituitary gland was collected after 60 days of the treatment. The data were analyzed using one way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by the Duncan test. The results of this study indicated that the administration of Kepok banana peel extract at a dose of 100 mg/kg BW can maintain the number of basophilic cells, whereas at dose of 200 mg/kg BB has the potential to reduce the number of basophilic cells in rats fed high-fat feed.
