Hepatic Lipid Peroxide Profile on Inflamation Rats with Nanocurcuminoid Treatment
Inflammation can cause the formation of prostaglandin and free radicals. In addition, overcome inflammation, a drug used also needs to have an effect as antioxidants to treat the free radicals. This problem can be solved by curcuminoid nanoparticles covered with palmitic acid. This research aims to test the antioxidants effect of curcuminoid nanoparticles covered with palmitic acid from Curcuma to lipid peroxide levels on inflammation rats liver. Antioxidants effect of nanocurcuminoid tested on rats that induced by 1% carrageenan and the liver lipid peroxide measured after 24 hours. Lipid peroxide level was measured with a spectrophotometer in 532 nm wavelength. The average size of curcuminoid nanoparticle covered with palmitic acid is 561.53 nm with an IP score of 0.309. Lipid peroxide level of inflammation rats liver given curcuminoids extract 100 mg/kg BW is 0.27x10-4 nmol/g. It was lower from the nanocurcuminoids 250 mg/kg BW groups which are 1.22 x10-4 nmol/g. Nanocurcuminoids 250 mg/kg BW is 114 times more efficient as an antioxidant than curcuminoids extract 100 mg/kg BW. Keywords: antioxidant, lipid peroxide, nanocurcuminoids
