ABSTRACT Background: In diabetes mellitus, hyperglycemia causes oxidative stress that enhances the production of free radicals. The presence of higher levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) indicates the rise of free radicals. On the basis of its role as an antioxidant that binds free radicals and reduces the level of malondialdehyde (MDA). Soursop leaf can act as an antidiabetic agent. This study aimed to examine the efficacy of soursop leaf extract (Annona muricata L.) to decrease the level of MDA level in alloxan-induced diabetic rats (Rattus norvegicus). Subjects and Method: This was an experiment study using pre- and pro-test with control group design. Total of 30 rats were selected for this study and divided into five groups of treatment i.e. group I was given distilled water and standard feed (Negative Control/KI), group II was given vitamin E 150 IU/kgBW/day (Positive Control/KII), group III was given soursop leaf extract 75 mg/kgBW/day (KIII), group IV was given soursop leaf extract 150 mg/kgBW/day (KIV), and group V was given soursop leaf extract 300 mg/kgBW/day (KV). Each group consisted of 5 rats and was given soursop leaf extract for 21 days after being induced by alloxan and high-fat diet. The data were analyzed using Mann-Whitney test. Results: There was a significant difference in KI group compared to KII, KIII, KIV, and KV groups. Soursop leaf extract of 150 mg/kgBW/day was the most effective dose to reduce MDA level in pancreatic rat. Conclusion: Soursop leaf extract of 150 mg/kgBW/day is the most effective dose on pancreatic MDA level reduction.

Background: The process of wound healing is influenced by various factors such as age, hormones, and wound care. Wound care is done to accelerate wound healing which can be done by various methods, one of them is traditional care. Traditional wound care can use medicinal plants. Rhodomyrtus tomentosa is a medicinal plant that has an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antitumor and antibacterial content. Thus this study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the antiseptic solution of the Rodhomyrtus tomentosa leaf extract on wound healing in male Wistar rats. Method: this research is pure experimental research with post test only control group design. Thirty male white rats were divided into five groups, namely negative control, positive control, Rhodomyrtus tomentosa leaf extract 15%, 30%, and 60%. Rhodomyrtus tomentosa leaf extraction was carried out by maceration method with 70% ethano solvent. The extraction results are divided into 3 concentrations (15%, 30% and 60%). The wound healing process was evaluated by measuring the length of the wound manually from 0 to 10 days in each group. Meanwhile, the number of fibroblast cells was calculated through hematoxylin eosin (HE) staining and observed using an Olympus CX41 microscope with a 10x magnification and objective lens magnification in 3 fields. Result: There was a significant difference in the reduction in wound length (p =< 0,000) between the five experimental groups (Rhodomyrtus tomentosa leaf extract solution 15%, 30% and 60%, negative control and positive control. Solution of rhodomyrtus tomentosa leaf extract accelerated the increase in the number of fibroblasts compared to the negative control group (p = 0.003), but did not make a difference (p = 0.403) with the positive control group. Rhodomyrtus tomentosa leaf extraction solution had the same microscopic effect on the number of fibroblasts with a positive control group given 0.9% NaCl solution. Conclusion: There was a significant difference in the number of fibroblasts between all groups, but no difference in wound healing length.

Abstract High blood cholesterol is often called hypercholesterolemia is a risk factor for the emergence of pathological conditions such as heart and blood vessel disease. Hypercholesterolemia has an important role in the occurrence of damage to the endothelial cells is mainly caused by oxidized LDL. Oxidation of LDL triggers the formation of TNF - ?. Leaves messengers that allegedly contains flavonoids can improve the situation of hypercholesterolemia through the barriers specifically the expression of TNF - ? increased due to hypercholesterolemia. Plants messengers known to contain alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, saponins, polyphenols, calcium oxalate, fats, and essential oil. Flavonoids which has the ability to bind the atom to form free radicals not to excess free radicals, thereby inhibiting the oxidative modification of LDL become ox-LDL so it will not be formed atherosclerosis. This study uses the Randomize pattern Pre and Post Test Control Group Design, using white rats (Rattusnovergicus) with Wistar strain aged 3-4 months, weighing 175-200 grams. Divided into four groups: Group I as a control with placebo, Group II treatment using extracts of ethanol leaves a messenger at a concentration of 10%, Group III treatments using extracts of ethanol leaves a messenger at a concentration of 20%, Group IV is to use the extract ethanol leaves errand at a concentration of 30%.
