Abstract: Cigarettes are composed of hazardous chemicals such as nicotine, tar and carbon monoxide (CO) to name a few. In just a single puff of a cigarette, there are 1014 free radical molecules also known as Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) that can cause sperm damage. Various natural ingredients native to Indonesia were found to contain various antioxidants, one of them is honey. The effects of honey as antioxidant may protect body cells in neutralizing free radicals caused by smoking and reducing the damage to spermatozoa cell that is caused by ROS and thereby avoiding the declining quality of spermatozoa. This study aimed to determine the effect of honey on the quality of spermatozoa of Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus) that had been exposed to cigarette smoke. Subjects of this study were nine male Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus) randomly divided into three groups weighing 150-200 g with the age range of 12-14 weeks. Each group of mice was given exposure to the smoke of 2 cigarettes a day in which the treatment group (P1) is also given 0.5 ml of honey per day, and the treatment group (P2) honey 1 ml / day. The results showed that honey treatment can improve concentration, motility, and morphology of spermatozoa Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus) by exposure to cigarrets smoke. Occurred a significant difference of concentration, motility, and morphology of spermatozoa group given only the exposure to cigarette smoke and the group given exposure to cigarette smoke and honey. This results showed that 1 ml of honey per day could improve the quality of spermatozoa.Keywords: honey, cigarrets smoke, spermatozoa Abstrak: Rokok mengandung bahan kimia yang berbahaya, yaitu nikotin, tar dan gas karbon monoksida (CO).

The health impact for active and passive smokers is damage to the organs and respiratory tract. The body organs initially experience inflammation which increases the number of white blood cells, one of which is an increase in lymphocytes. One of the efforts to reduce the damage caused free radical by cigarette smoke is by consuming Calcitriol. Objective: To determine the effect of presenting Calcitriol on lymphocyte levels in male Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus) exposed to cigarette smoke. Methods: This type of research is a pure experimental (true-experiment) using a pre and post-test research design with a control group design to check lymphocyte levels in male Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus). 24 rats were divided into 6 groups simultaneously. Random, namely the control group 1 (exposed to cigarette smoke and not given Calcitriol), group 2 (exposed to cigarette smoke and not given Calcitriol), placebo control group (exposed to cigarette smoke and given olive oil), treatment 1 (exposed to cigarette smoke and given Calcitriol with a dose of 0.25 µgr / head), treatment 2 (exposed to cigarette smoke and given Calcitriol at a dose of 0.5 µgr / head) and treatment 3 (exposed to cigarette smoke and given Calcitriol at a dose of 1 µgr / head). Results: Paired t-test lymphocyte levels showed evidence that stated (p <0.05) in the K2 group (p = 0.014), the K3 group (p = 0.049), the P1 group (p = 0.012) and the P3 group (0.001) . Meanwhile, group K1 (p = 0.115) and group P2 (p = 0.066) had no statistical difference.

Abstract: Excessive exercise can cause an increase in free radicals 2-3 times. Cigarette smoke can also increase free radicals and reduce antioxidants in semen, therefore, it can cause DNA damage through cellular DNA fragmentation. Free radicals can come from endogenous sources, such as the normal oxidation reaction in mitochondria, peroxisomes, whereas free radicals from exogenous sources come from cigarette smoke, inflammation, and excessive exercise training. This study was aimed to compare the effect of excessive exercise and exposure to cigarette smoke on the quality of sperm of Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus). This was an experimental study using a post-test only control group design. Samples were 9 Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus) divided into 3 groups: P0 group, the control group without any treatment; P1 group, treated with excessive intensity exercise; and P2 group, treated with 2-cigarette-smoke exposure. The treatment was carried out for 50 days. The results showed differences in concentration between study groups but not statistically significant (P>0.05). Motility showed significant differences in normal motility of group P0 and P1 (P=0.002), and of group P0 and P2 (P=0). Morphology showed a significant difference between groups P0 and P1 (P=0.004). Conclusion: Excessive exercise and exposure to cigarette smoke affect the quality of spermatozoa of Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus).Keywords: excessive exercise, cigarette smoke, sperm quality Abstrak: Olahraga berlebihan dapat menyebabkan peningkatan radikal bebas sebanyak 2–3 kali. Asap rokok dapat meningkatkan radikal bebas serta menurunkan antioksidan dalam cairan semen sehingga dapat mengakibatkan kerusakan DNA melalui fragmentasi DNA seluler. Radikal bebas dapat berasal dari sumber endogen, yaitu pada reaksi reduksi oksidasi normal dalam mitokondria, peroksisom, sedangkan radikal bebas dari sumber eksogen berasal dari asap rokok, inflamasi, dan latihan olahraga berlebihan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui perbandingan antara pengaruh olahraga berlebihan dan paparan asap rokok terhadap kualitas spermatozoa tikus Wistar (Rattus norvegicus).
