PENGARUH PEMBERIAN EKSTRAK RUMPUT LAUT COKELAT (Sargassum duplicatum) TERHADAP PENINGKATAN KADAR HEMOGLOBIN PADA DARAH TIKUS JANTAN (Rattus norvegicus) GALUR WISTAR ANEMIA YANG DI INDUKSI NaNO2
<p><strong>ABSTRACT</strong></p><p><strong>Background: </strong>In Indonesia, the prevalence of iron deficiency anemia reaches 25,2 percent, it indicates that anemia is a medical condition in society that needs attention. Brown seaweed (<em>Sargassum duplicatum</em>) is a group of algae that contains minerals such as iron and vitamin B12. So that the content in <em>Sargassum duplicatum </em>can be used for anemia therapy that serves as the main forming hemoglobin.</p><p><strong>Objective: </strong>The purpose of this experimental research was to determine the administration of <em>Sargassum duplicatum</em> affects the increase in blood haemoglobin levels of rats that are anemia induced NaNO2..</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>This research used the Post-test only control group design, the samples were 30 male rats divided into 3 treatment groups (K<sub>0</sub>, K<sub>1</sub>, and K<sub>2</sub>). The process of treating anemia in rats using sodium nitrite (NaNO2) at a dose of 125 mg / KgBB. K<sub>0</sub> group is a group that is not treated. K<sub>1</sub> group is a group that was given NaNO2 for 18 days without dieting <em>Sargassum duplicatum</em>. The K<sub>2</sub> group was the group that was given NaNO2 for 18 days and received the <em>Sargassum duplicatum</em> diet at a dose of 2.45 g/kgBB for 14 days.</p><p><strong>Result: </strong>From this research it can be seen that K<sub>0</sub> has an average hemoglobin level of 12,71 g/dL, K<sub>1</sub> has an average hemoglobin level of 11.96 g / dL, and K<sub>2</sub> has an average hemoglobin level of 12,99 g/dL which shows that descriptively there is a difference between groups K<sub>1</sub> and K<sub>2</sub>. Based on the Kruskal-Wallis statistical test, a value of 0,290 was obtained so that p > 0.05 showed that H0 was accepted, which means there was no difference in the administration of <em>Sargassum duplicatum</em> in increasing blood hemoglobin levels in anemic rats.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>From the results of this research, the conclusion in descriptively there was an increase in the blood hemoglobin level of white rats in the group receiving <em>Sargassum duplicatum</em> extract therapy but it was not statistically significant.</p>Keywords: <em>Sargassum duplicatum, haemoglobin, NaNO<sub>2</sub>, anemia</em>
