Minyak sawit merah (MSM) adalah salah satu produk olahan dari minyak kelapa sawit, dan merupakan sumber makanan yang kaya karotenoid sekitar 500 - 800 ppm. Konsentrat karotenoid (KK) juga merupakan produk yang diperoleh dari proses penghilangan minyak sehingga kadar karotenoid meningkat hingga 6000 - 7000 ppm. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui potensi penggunaan minyak sawit merah dan konsentrat karotenoid sebagai uji pendahuluan suplemen antioksidan dalam pengujian toleransi glukosa pada tikus putih. Pengujian aktivitas antioksidan dari minyak sawit merah dan konsentrat karotenoid diuji dengan metode DPPH dengan masa inkubasi selama 60 menit. Pengujian efektivitas antihiperglikemia dilakukan menggunakan hewan percobaan (n=40) yang dibagi menjadi 8 grup: grup kontrol negatif (akuades), kontrol positif (glibenklamid 10 mg), tiga grup diberi minyak sawit merah dengan dosis 1, 2, dan 3 ml, dan tiga grup diberi konsentrat karotenoid dengan dosis 1, 2, dan 3 ml. Penurunan kadar glukosa darah selama 180 menit pada uji antihiperglikemia sebagai berikut glibenklamid 10 mg> MSM 3 ml> MSM 2 ml> MSM 1 ml> KK 3 ml> KK 2 ml> KK 1 ml dan akuades. Pemberian minyak sawit merah dapat menurunkan kadar glukosa darah lebih cepat dibandingkan konsentrat karotenoid. Sifat antioksidatif komponen minor minyak sawit merah dapat menghambat oksidasi glukosa di dalam darah, sehingga pankreas dapat aktif memproduksi insulin secara normal. Oleh karena itu, minyak sawit merah dapat digunakan secara sinergis untuk membantu kerja obat hiperglikemia oral (OHO). Red Palm Oil is one of processed products from palm oil and also a food source rich in carotenoid,around500-800 ppm. Carotenoid concentrate is also a product obtained from the oil removal process and the carotenoid level increases to 6000-7000 ppm. This research aimed to determinethe potential of the red palm oil and the carotenoid concentrate as a preliminary test of anti-oxidant supplement Glucose Tolerance Test on Rat. The anti-oxidant activity of red palm oil and carotenoid concentrate was tested using DPPH method with 60 minutes incubation period. The anti-hyperglycemia activity evaluationwas conducted using animals(n=40) which divided into 8 groups: Negative control group (distilled water), positive control (glibenclamide 10 mg), three groups were given red palm oil with dose of1, 2, and 3 ml , and three groups were given carotenoid concentrate with dose of 1, 2, and 3 ml . The decrease of blood glucose for 180 minutes in anti-hyperglycemia test were in order ofglibenclamide10 mg> MSM 3 ml> MSM 2 ml> MSM 1 ml> KK 3 ml> KK 2 ml> KK 1 ml and distilled water. The red palm oil induction could lower blood glucose level faster than carotenoid concentrate, The anti-oxidative properties of minor componentsin red palm oil prevent the blood glucose oxidation and the pancreas could be actively produce insulin normally. In conclusion, red palm oil could be used synergistically toenhance the effectiveness oforal hyperglycemic agent.

Background: The present study was performed to explore whether the aqueous extract of Senecio biafrae (S. biafrae) roots provide any in vivo protective activity against carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced hepatotoxicity in male albino rats. Methods: Rats (150-200 grams) were grouped into five groups (A-E) of six rats each and were treated orally for twelve days with 72 hourly administration of CCl4 (1 mL/kg) as follows: Group A received distilled water only (negative control), Group B was administered distilled water plus CCl4 (positive control), Group C was administered 400 mg/kg extract and CCl4, Group D received 200 mg/extract and CCl4, while Group E was administered standard drug (Silymarin 25mg/kg, PO). Results: Pre-treatment with the extract of S. biafrae (200 or 400mg/kg) or Silymarin (25mg/kg) caused significant restoration in the biomarkers as evaluated by reducing the levels of malondialdehyde, transaminases and elevating the levels of superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione peroxidase activities, which were altered by CCl4 toxicity. The extract at a dose of 400mg/kg demonstrated similar activities comparable to the standard drug (Silymarin). Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that the root extract of S. biafrae possesses hepatoprotective and anti-oxidant properties which may be due to the presence of phytochemicals in it.

Abstract Goat bile has been used by some Indonesian people to treat malaria and increase their stamina. This study aimed to prove whether goat bile toxic or not in BALB/c mice and to verify the antimalarial activity of goat bile at various concentrations in mice infected with Plasmodium berghei ANKA. Acute toxicity test was performed using twenty male BALB/c mice with an average body weight of 25 grams, which were divided into four groups. Mice were given 25%, 50%, and 100% goat bile, respectively, while negative control was given distilled water. Any change in weight, odor, color, agitation, appearance, color of urine and feces, coma, and death, were recorded. A different set of mice were infected with P. berghei ANKA. This study conducted using the posttest only control group design with four treatments and five replications. A four day-treatment of goat bile was given by oral gavage to find out its effect on parasitemia level. Infected mice were divided randomly into 4 groups, where the GBNeg group as negative control was given only distilled water. The GB25, GB50, and GB100 groups were treated with 25%, 50%, and 100% goat bile, respectively. The parasitemia was observed daily on Giemsa-stained tail blood smears of each mice. No death or other sign of toxicity was found in goat bile-treated mice. Goat bile showed anti-malarial activity. The parasitemia in all goat bile treated groups was lower compared with the negative control group. The ED50 of goat bile against the growth of parasite was 48,55 %. Goat bile is a potential source of new antimalarial therapies. Further investigations are recommended to yield new anti-malarial drug candidates. Keywords                :    Goat bile, parasitemia, Plasmodium berghei ANKA, ED50Correspondence     :    [email protected]
