High levels of LDL cholesterol are risk factors for coronary heart disease. Different types of medicinal plants have hypolipidemic effects. The study aimed to compare the potential of Javanese ginger ethanol extract, turmeric, garlic, and pomegranate flowers with rosuvastatin on levels of LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) and total cholesterol (total-C) male Wistar rats dyslipidemia models. This experimental laboratory research was conducted in Maranatha Animal Research Laboratory Bandung and was carried out in January–December 2020. The experimental animals were divided into six groups (n=5): the control group, the Javanese ginger group, the turmeric group, the garlic group, the pomegranate flower group, and the comparison control group. The induction given to experimental animals was administering vitamin D3, a high-fat diet, and propylthiouracil for 14 days. The results showed that the administration of 175 mg/kg BW of garlic ethanol extract (−44.85%), pomegranate flowers (−58.74%), and rosuvastatin (−40.00%) reduced LDL-C compared to control (p<0.05). The administration of 175 mg/kg BW of Javanese ginger ethanol extract (−15.16%), turmeric (−14.02%), garlic (−22.80%), pomegranate flower (−65.24%), and rosuvastatin (−18.70%) reduced total-C compared to controls (p<0.05). The conclusion is that garlic and pomegranate flowers lowered LDL-C, while Javanese ginger, turmeric, garlic, and pomegranate flowers reduced total-C. AKTIVITAS TEMULAWAK, KUNYIT, BAWANG PUTIH, DAN BUNGA DELIMA TERHADAP K-LDL DAN K-TOTAL PADA TIKUS MODEL DISLIPIDEMIAKadar kolesterol LDL yang tinggi adalah faktor risiko penyakit jantung koroner.

AbstractLipin1, a lately indentified adipokine, may link obesity with insulin resistance and diabetes. The present study aimed to investigate the changes and significance of lipin1 expression and lipin1-AMPK signaling in diet-induced hepatic insulin resistance.24 4-week-old Male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 2 groups: (1) control group (CO), (2) high-fat diet group (HF). Insulin sensitivity was evaluated by hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp technique. The mRNA levels of α1 and α2 subunit of AMPKα as well as Lipin1 were measured using Real-time RT-PCR. The activities of AMPKα and Akt were evaluated by detection of p-AMPKα (Thr-172) and p-Akt (ser473) by Western blot.After treatment of 4 months, HF group showed significantly increased levels of body weight, fasting plasma glucose and insulin levels; Plasma and liver total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG) levels were also markedly elevated; Lipin1 expression at both mRNA and protein levels were significantly deceased. Compared with CO group, the mRNA and protein levels of AMPKα1 and AMPKα2 were not changed, whereas the p-AMPK (Thr-172) and p-AKT (ser473) levels in liver were significantly decreased in HF group.These findings indicated that the decrease in lipin1 expression and AMPKα activation may contribute to hepatic insulin resistance in diet-induced obese rats.

Diabetes mellitus constitutes a metabolic disorder indicated by a decrease in insulin secretion, insulin insensitivity, or a combination of both. Golden sea cucumber (Stichopus hermanii) is a natural resource of Indonesian waters with benefit for reducing blood sugar levels. This research aimed to determine the anti-hyperglycemic mechanism of golden sea cucumber.This study used a experimental laboratory research with Post-test Only Control Group. The sample of this study consisted of 25 male rats aged 60-70 days, divided into 5 groups: K(-), K(+), P1, P2, and P3 randomly. Rats from K(+), P1, P2, and P3 groups were injected with streptozotocin (STZ) with a dose of 50 mg/kg BW. Treatment was administered for 21 days. K(-) and K(+) groups were fed normally while P1, P2 and P3 groups were given golden sea cucumber 80% ethanol extract with a dose of 4,25 mg/kgBW/day, 8,50 mg/kgBW/day and 12,75 mg/kgBW/day respectively. On the 22nd day, fasting blood sugar level was measured and the number of pancreatic islet was counted with histopathological examination. The administration of golden sea cucumber (Stichopus hermanii) extract on rats with hyperglycemia does not reduce blood sugar level, but the extract administration increases the number of pancreatic islet. Golden sea cucumber (Stichopus hermanni) extract may improve the number of pancreatic islet and prevent the progressive damage of pancreatic islet.C

Abstract Taraxacum syriacum (TS) with natural antioxidant and pharmacological activities may be considered for treatment of oxidative stress induced by acetaminophen (APAP). The aim of this study was to evaluate the ameliorative effects of the ethanol extract of TS root against hepatorenal toxicity induced by APAP in comparison to N-acetylcysteine (NAC) as a standard drug. Thirty male Wistar rats were randomly divided into five groups. Control group; APAP (1 g/kg) group; APAP–NAC (160 mg/kg) group and APAP-TS100 and APAP-TS200 groups: APAP plus 100 and 200 mg/kg of TS extract, respectively. After 7 days treatment, serum and liver and kidney tissues were prepared and evaluated. TS extract ameliorated the increased lipid peroxidation level and decreased antioxidant enzymes activities and glutathione level in liver and kidney of APAP-treated rats. Moreover, treatment with the TS extract caused significant reduction in the histopathological damages and high levels of serum biochemical markers of hepatic and renal functions after APAP treatment. This study suggests that the extract of TS roots has dose-dependent ameliorative effect against APAP-induced oxidative damage in liver and kidney due to its free radical scavenging and antioxidant properties. The overall efficacy of the extract at 200 mg/kg dose is comparable with NAC.
