Effectiveness of Boiled Comfrey Leaves (Symphytum Officinale L) on SGOT SGPT Serum in Male Wistar Strain Rats With Acute Hepatitis Models
Acute hepatitis is an acute disease caused by viruses, alcohol and drugs, which is characterized by an increase in SGOT SGPT serum. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of boiled comfrey leaves (Symphytum Officinale L) levels of SGOT and SGPT serum in male wistar strain rats with acute hepatitis models. The objects in this study were 30 male Wistar strain rats aged 2-3 months with a weight of 180-200 grams. The objects were randomly divided into 3 groups: the treatment group, positive control and negative control. The treatment group and positive control group were induced paracetamol 120 mg / day orally for 7 days. Boiled water of 2.8 grams of comfrey (symphytum officinale L) leaves was given as much as 2.7 cc orally for 7 days to the treatment group. Data were analyzed with SPSS version 24, one way ANOVA test was performed to compare serum levels of SGOT & SGPT. The results showed there were significant differences in serum levels of SGOT between the treatment group, positive control and negative control (p <0.05) and there were significant differences in SGPT results between the treatment group and positive control group (p <0.05) but there were no significant differences between the SGPT levels of the treatment group and the negative control group (p = 0.173). As Conclusion, boiled Comfrey leaf has an effect in decreasing serum SGOT & SGPT in male wistar strain rats with acute hepatitis model.
