Abstract The availability of carbohydrates and electrolytes in the body greatly affects Volume Oxigen Maximum (VO2max) to maintain stamina and endurance. The administration of young coconut water has the effect of increasing VO2max because it contains carbohydrates and electrolytes. The administration of young coconut water 15-60 minutes before exercise has the potential to delay exhaustion and increasing performance because glucose levels are maintained and muscle glycogen stores are restored. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of administration of young coconut water on VO2max in young adults non-athletes. This study used a quasi experimental research design with a cross over design clinical trial. A total of 30 male non-athletes aged 18-24 years who fulfill the inclusion criteria were divided into groups randomLy, the treatment group (given 300 mL of coconut water) and the control group (given 300 mL of mineral water) 60 minutes before treatment, then crossover carried out 3 days after treatment. The results showed the control group fitness index was 141.83 ± 44.69, and the fitness index of the treatment group was 176.01 ± 59.07. The sample characteristics based on VO2max showed that the treatment group had a greater VO2max by a mean of 4.84 ± 1.05 compared to the control group with a mean of 4.19 ± 0.78. The results of the Paired T-Test showed a significance value of p= 0.000 (p <0.05) indicating that there was a significant difference between the control group and the treatment group. The conclusion of this study is that giving young coconut water increases VO2max levels in young adults non-athletes.   Keywords: Young coconut water, VO2max,  fitness index

Objective: To analyze the effect of coconut water administration on the occurrence of urolithiasis in calcium oxalate-induced Wistar rats. Material & Methods: Laboratory experimental study with post-test only control group design, using experimental model of male Rattus norwegicus-Wistar strains. The treatment given is ad libitum administration coconut water to observe its effect on renal histopathological changes, microscopic analysis, and renal function markers. Urolithiasis induction uses exposure of 0.75% ethylene glycol (EG), and 2% Ammonium chloride (AC) in drinking water. Results: Descriptive analysis showed the tendency of decreasing in mean of renal function markers, and histopathological nephron damage in the treatment group versus control group: BUN (11.22 versus 14.29); Creatinine Serum (0.5308 versus 0.5714); degree of nephron damage (5.22 versus 10.36). In microscopic analysis, there were calcium deposits in the kidney tubules in the control group, which were not found in the treatment group. Based on the ANOVA test, obtained significant difference in BUN levels with p value=0.023 (p<0.05), and the degree of nephron damage between study groups with p value= 0.000 (p<0.05). There was no significant difference in serum creatinine with p value= 0.23 (p>0.05). Conclusion: Coconut water is potential modality in inhibiting the deposition of calcium oxalate crystals, and protecting from impaired kidney function against urolithiasis in animal-model of calcium oxalate-induced Wistar rats.

Eurycoma longifolia (E. longifolia) or also known as Earth Pasak in Indonesia, has been used widely, especially to increase stamina in men. The use of herbal medicines in the long run opens up the opportunities for the influence of herbal medicines on metabolic process of other substances. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of E. longifolia extract on rosiglitazone metabolism after oral administration for one and fourteen days, and its effect on rat body weight. The rats were divided into two groups, group for one day treatment (divided into 8 subgroups with n = 6: I (control), II to VIII (were given extract at doses of 1 to 1000 mg / kg BW) and 14 days (rats divided into 4 subgroups, n = 6 : I (control), II to IV (treated with extracts of doses 5, 25 and 50 mg / kg BW). At the end of the experiment, test animals were sacrificed and rosiglitazone N-demethylase activity in hepatocytes was determined by measuring the amount of formaldehid formed at 415 nm. The rosiglitazone N-demethylase activity in all groups was analyzed by analysis of  variance (ANOVA) and Tukey Test (P <0.05). The percentage of the changing in the body weight in the 14 days treatment group was compared to the control group. The results showed there was a significant increased in the rosiglitazone N-demethylase activity after rats were treated with E. longifolia extract at doses of 5 to 1000 mg / kg BB, but was not significantly different at a dose of 1 mg / kg BW when compared with control group. For the 14 days treatment, there was no significant difference between the treatment group and the control group, both for the rosiglitazone N-demethylase enzyme activity or the changed of rat body weight.

Hypertension is an increase in blood pressure where the systolic pressure is more than 140 mmHg and diastolic pressure is more than 90 mmHg. The cause of the onset of hypertension can be of age factor. Elderly who suffer from hypertension usually cause interruption of daily activities, so routine treatment is needed in order not to cause complications. Young coconut water contains potassium, magnesium and vitamin C which has benefits to help the body regulate blood pressure, so it can reduce hypertension. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of young coconut water on the decrease of high blood pressure in the elderly. Experimental Quasy research design with Non-Equivalent Control Group Desaign approach. The population of this study is elderly who are not dependence of hypertension drugs as much as 32 people with the number of samples of 30 respondents selected by Probability Sampling with Simple Random Sampling approach. The independent variable is young coconut water therapy, the dependent variable is the decrease of high blood pressure. Data were collected using questionnaires and observations. Data were analyzed by using Paired t-test and Independent t-test. The results showed that the consumption of young coconut water as much as 250 ml morning and afternoon for 2 weeks in the treatment group can lower systolic blood pressure. The independent t test in the treatment group and the control group obtained the result p = 0.013 (p <a = 0.05). The implication of this study is that young coconut water can lower blood pressure in elderly people with hypertension, so that young coconut water treatment can be used as one of the non-pharmacological alternative to reduce blood pressure.
