Cardiovascular disease causes the highest mortality rate in the world. Atherosclerotic plaque is the most common etiology of cardiovascular disease. High levels of cholesterol in circulation is the pathophysiology of atherosclerosis formation. Atherosclerosis risk can be lowered to 20-40% with statins. Statins are effective in lowering total and LDL cholesterol, but these drugs have been reported to cause side effects. Therefore, it needed an alternative medicine to prevent the process of atherosclerosis using kepuh leaves (Sterculia foetida). Flavonoids contained in Kepuh leaves improve lipid profiles. The aims of this study is to prove the effectiveness of Sterculia foetida in lowering cholesterol, triglyceride and reduce the amount of foam cells on high-fat-diet induced rats. The research design is quasi-experimental with post test only design. Animals are grouped into normal group, negative control group and three treatment groups that were given kepuh leaves extract at the dose of 200 mg/kgBB, 400 mg/kgBB, and 800 mg/ kgBB. Rats were given high-fat diet of initial intravenous adrenaline injection 0.006 mg/200 gBB and duck egg yolks 5 g/kgBB for 21 days. Cholesterol and triglycerides were measured by enzymatic methods and aortic tissue stained with HE. ESf reduce cholesterol significantly and reduce the amount of foam cells on aorta.Keywords: cholesterol, triglyceride, kepuh leaves, foam cell, high-fat-diet

This study was conducted to develop Chaguro, a low-cost supplementary food made of chayote (Sechium edule (Jacq.) Swartz) and tuna fish (Thunnus sp.), for diabetes and dyslipidemia diet therapy. In order to find a formula with effective hypoglycaemic and antidyslipidemic properties, dried tuna and chayote were mixed at different ratios: F1 (75% tuna, 25% chayote), F2 (50% tuna, 50% chayote), and F3 (25% tuna, 75% chayote). Thirty male Sprague Dawley rats were assigned into healthy control group or groups induced with streptozotocin-nicotinamide and a high-fat diet. Chaguro was administered 2.7 g/ kgBW/ day using a gavage for 28 days. The administration of all Chaguro formulas improved blood markers compared to the negative control group (p < 0.001). Chaguro F2 lowered fasting blood glucose (97.07±1.18 vs 266.31±5.31), total cholesterol (113.59±2.22 vs 208.78±4.31), triglycerides (89.93±2.51 vs 142.35±2.83), LDL-c (33.87±1.87 vs 87.85±3.34) and increased HDL-c (69,08±1,85 vs 23,91±1,64) level the most compared to the negative control group (p < 0.001). Streptozotocin-induced weight loss was also prevented in all diabetic rats fed with Chaguro, with the bodyweight being similar to that of healthy controls at the end of the intervention (p < 0.001). This study found that Chaguro may be a potential food product to help lower blood glucose and improve lipid profile in diabetes and dyslipidemia.

Abstract: Canola oil is a source of vegetable oils which contains high unsaturated fats that can reduce the risk of coronary heart disease, especially atherosclerosis. One of the trigger factors of atherosclerosis is hypercholesterolemia. This study aimed to evaluate the histopathological features of aorta and the levels of LDL and HDL cholesterols in Wistar rats fed with high fat diet and canola oil. There were 20 Wistar rats in this study, divided into four groups: group A, the negative control; group B with high-fat diet (1 ml lard and 1 ml yolk daily); group C with high-fat diet and 0.1 ml of canola oil daily; and group D with high-fat diet and simvastatin 0.2 mg daily. The results showed elevated levels of LDL and HDL cholesterols in the treated groups compared to the control group. The histopathological features revealed many foam cells in the aorta wall (intima and media layers) of group B, whereas group C had fewer foam cells. No foam cells were found in group D. Conclusion: Although the mean LDL and HDL cholesterol levels of all treated groups were higher than of the control group, canola oil could reduce foam cell formation.Keywords: canola oil, foam cell, LDL and HDL cholesterols Abstrak: Minyak kanola merupakan salah satu sumber minyak nabati yang tinggi lemak tak jenuh yang dapat mengurangi risiko penyakit jantung koroner terutama aterosklerosis. Salah satu faktor pencetus aterosklerosis ialah hiperkolesterolemia. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi gambaran histopatologik aorta serta kadar kolesterol LDL dan HDL tikus wistar yang diberi diet tinggi lemak dan minyak kanola. Penelitian ini menggunakan 20 ekor tikus Wistar, yang dibagi dalam 4 kelompok, yaitu: kelompok A sebagai kontrol negatif; kelompok B dengan diet tinggi lemak yaitu lemak babi sebanyak 1 ml dan kuning telur sebanyak 1 ml per hari; kelompok C dengan diet tinggi lemak dan minyak kanola sebanyak 0,1 ml per hari; dan kelompok D dengan diet tinggi lemak dan simvastatin sebanyak 0,2 mg per hari. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan terdapat peningkatan rerata kadar kolesterol LDL dan HDL tikus wistar yang diberi perlakuan dibandingkan tikus kontrol yang hanya diberi pakan dan air. Pada gambaran histopatologik kelompok B terlihat adanya sel-sel busa pada dinding aorta (tunika intima dan media), sedangkan pada kelompok C sel-sel busa terlihat berkurang. Tidak terlihat sel busa pada kelompok D. Simpulan: Walaupun rerata kadar kolseterol LDL dan HDL meningkat pada kelompok perlakuan, minyak kanola dapat menurunkan pembentukan sel busa.Kata kunci: minyak kanola, sel busa, kolesterol LDL dan HDL

Abstract Objectives The anti-atherogenic activity of luteolin and one of its glycoside form, luteolin-7-O-glucoside, was compared in high fat fed homocysteinemia-induced C57BL/6J mice. Methods Forty male C57BL/6J mice (12 wks) were divided into 4 groups; negative control group, homocystein (Hcy) control group, luteolin and luteolin-7-O-glucoside groups and fed by modified AIN-93 with 45% fat and 0.5% cholesterol. Flavones were administered by oral gavage (50 mg/Kg BW) and Hcy (0.9 g/L) were provided in drinking water for 6 weeks. Results The serum concnetrations of Hcy, TG, cholesterol, TNF-α and MCP-1 were significantly increased in Hcy control group, which were mitigated in luteolin and luteolin-7-O-glycoside groups (P &lt; 0.05). Protein expression levels of adhesion molecules, inflammatory markers, such as VCAM, ICAM and COX-2 in liver and aorta were attenuated in luteolin and luteolin-7-O-glycoside groups compared to Hcy control group (P &lt; 0.05). Histopathologic examination by H&E staining and immunohistochemistry in liver and aorta was compatible with protein expression data. Conclusions Luteolin and luteolin-7–O-glycoside exhibited anti-atherogenic activity through the regulation of inflammatory markers and adhesion molecules in high fat-fed hyperhomocysteinemia induced mice. Efficacy of luteolun and luteolin-7-O-glycoside was not different.

Objectives. The present study was aimed at investigating the wound healing effect of ethanolic extract of Cestrum nocturnum (L.) leaves (EECN) using excision and incision wound model. Methods. Wistar albino rats were divided into five groups each consisting of six animals; group I (left untreated) considered as control, group II (ointment base treated) considered as negative control, group III treated with 5% (w/w) povidone iodine ointment (Intadine USP), which served as standard, group IV treated with EECN 2% (w/w) ointment, and group V treated with EECN 5% (w/w) ointment were considered as test groups. All the treatments were given once daily. The wound healing effect was assessed by percentage wound contraction, epithelialization period, and histoarchitecture studies in excision wound model while breaking strength and hydroxyproline content in the incision wound model. Result. Different concentration of EECN (2% and 5% w/w) ointment promoted the wound healing activity significantly in both the models studied. The high rate of wound contraction (P<0.001), decrease in the period for epithelialization (P<0.01), high skin breaking strength (P<0.001), and elevated hydroxyproline content were observed in animal treated with EECN ointments when compared to the control and negative control group of animals. Histopathological studies of the EECN ointments treated groups also revealed the effectiveness in improved wound healing. Conclusions. Ethanolic extract of Cestrum nocturnum (EECN) leaves possesses a concentration dependent wound healing effect.
