Abstract

Buah semangka adalah buah yang sering dijumpai dan dikonsumsi. Akan tetapi, pada umumnya semangka hanya dikonsumsi daging buahnya saja, sedangkan kulit putihnya (mesokarp) seringkali hanya menjadi limbah. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui efek antilelah ekstrak air mesokarp semangka sehingga bisa dijadikan suplemen energi alami. Pengujian antilelah dilakukan dengan metode Weight-loaded Forced Swimming Test (WFST). Mencit Swiss Webster jantan dibagi menjadi empat kelompok, yaitu kelompok kontrol, kelompok uji yang diberikan ekstrak dosis 1 g/kg bb, kelompok uji ekstrak dosis 2 g/kg bb, dan kelompok pembanding yang diberi kafein dengan dosis 19,5 mg/kg bb. Ekstrak uji dan pembanding diberikan secara peroral selama 21 hari, sedangkan kelompok kontrol hanya diberikan pembawa berupa suspensi CMC Na. Selanjutnya, waktu renang, kadar glukosa darah, asam laktat darah, bobot badan, dan glikogen hati serta otot ditentukan saat uji WFST. Ekstrak air mesokarp semangka dengan dosis 1 g/kg bb memiliki kemampuan mempertahankan kadar glukosa darah (p<0,05) dibandingkan kelompok kontrol. Sementara untuk dosis 2 g/kg bb memiliki kemampuan mempertahankan kadar glukosa darah (p<0,01) dan glikogen hati (p<0,05), serta menurunkan produksi asam laktat (p<0,05), dibandingkan kelompok kontrol. Pemberian ekstrak  juga tidak memiliki efek terhadap bobot badan hewan uji. Pemberian ekstrak air mesokarp semangka dapat memperbaiki aktivitas dan beberapa parameter biokimia tubuh yang memiliki kaitan dengan kelelahan sehingga dapat digunakan sebagai suplemen antilelah alami.

Abstract

Kinin adalah senyawa alkaloid dari kulit batang Cinchona sp. yang digunakan sebagai antimalaria. O-desmetil kinin (C19H22N2O2) adalah senyawa turunan kinin baru yang diperoleh dengan menghilangkan gugus metil pada kinin. Selain sebagai antimalaria, kinin juga dapat digunakan untuk mengobati kram kaki. Karena efek samping yang besar, FDA (2009) melarang penggunaan kinin oral dalam pengobatan kram kaki. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini dilakukan untuk menguji efek kinin dan pada rute pemberian oral dan topikal serta mengetahui efek o-desmetil kinin pada terapi kram kaki. Mencit dibagi menjadi 5 kelompok yaitu kelompok normal, kelompok kinin oral dosis 26 mg/kg bb, kelompok kinin topikal dosis 52 mg/kg bb, kelompok o-desmetil kinin oral dosis 26 mg/kg bb, dan kelompok o-desmetil topikal dosis 52 mg/kg bb. Mencit diletakkan di atas rotarod dengan kecepatan 10-16 rpm selama 4 menit. Waktu yang dapat ditempuh mencit selama berada di atas rotarod diukur. Perlakuan yang sama diulang dengan durasi 45 menit selama 4,5 jam. Setelah menit ke 180, kelompok uji mengalami peningkatan waktu ketahanan di atas rotarod sedangkan kempok normal mengalami penurunan. Pada menit 270, kelompok oral dan topikal memberikan perbedaan yang bermakna dibandingkan dengan kelompok normal. Pemberian kinin dan odesmetil kinin pada rute pemberian oral dengan dosis 26 mg/kg bb dan topikal dengan dosis 52 mg/kg bb sebagai antikram memberikan hasil yang bermakna dibandingkan dengan kelompok normal (p<0,05). O-desmetil kinin memberikan efek yang tidak berbeda bermakna dari kinin base (p<0,05).Kata kunci: kram kaki, kinin, o-desmetil kinin, rotarod.AbstractQuinine is an alkaloid from the bark of Cinchona sp. as an anti-malaria. O-desmethyl quinine (C19H22N2O2) is the new quinine derivative, by losing its methyl. Beside the function as anti-malaria, quinine is used for leg cramps treatment. Because of the great side effects, FDA (2009) banned the use of quinine oral for leg cramps therapy. Therefore, this study was aimed to determine the effect of quinine by oral and topical administration and to determine o-desmethyl quinines effect for leg cramps therapy. Mice were divided into normal group, quinine oral dose 26 mg/kg bw, quinine topical dose 52 mg/kg bw, o-desmethyl quinine oral dose 26 mg/kg bw, and o-desmethyl topical dose 52 mg/kg bw. Mice were taken on the rotarod at 10-16 rpm for 4 minutes. Time to remain on the rotarod was measured. The same treatment was repeated after 45 minutes for 4.5 hours. Over the 180 minutes, the endurance of the test groups were increased on the contrary, the normal group is decreased. After 270 minutes of observations, the oral and topical groups have significant difference compared by the normal group. The administration of quinine by oral dose 26 mg/kg bb and topical dose 52 mg/kg bb as an anti-cramps showed significantly difference compared to the normal group (p<0.05). O-desmethyl quinine has no significantly difference compared by quinine (p<0.05).Keywords: leg cramps, quinine, o-desmethyl quinine, rotarod.

Abstract

Pengukuran pengeluaran energi (energy expenditure) selama kegiatan di alam terbuka merupakan salah satu cara untuk mengurangi risiko kecelakaan dan menghindari penurunan kinerja selama kegiatan. Pada penelitian ini akan dilakukan pengukuran pengeluaran energi dan parameter lain selama kegiatan Pendidikan Dasar Wanadri (PDW) 2010, di Situ Lembang dengan ketinggian 1600 meter dpl, dalam rentang waktu 4 -16 Juli 2010. Pengukuran pengeluaran energi serta denyut jantung menggunakan Polar RS400. Pengukuran berat badan, persentase lemak tubuh, dan tekanan darah dilakukan pada hari tertentu dari setiap jenis kegiatan yang berbeda. Kuesioner diberikan pada akhir terakhir setiap jenis kegiatan berbeda.Subjek penelitian yang digunakan berjumlah 6 orang pria yang rata-rata berusia 20,7 ± 1,6 tahun, dengan rata-rata tinggi badan 171,8 ± 3 cm, dan berat badan 66,2 ± 5,1 kg. Pengeluaran energi saat kegiatan berbeda bermakna dan mencapai 2-3 kali lipat dari pengeluaran energi saat kegiatan normal sebelum kegiatan PDW (2956 ± 495 kkal/hari). Pengeluaran energi terbesar terjadi saat kegiatan longmarch (8286 ± 730 kkal/hari). Jumlah asupan energi (energy intake) rata-rata selama PDW terekam sebesar 1380 kkal/hari. Terjadi penurunan berat badan (10,20 ± 0,80 %), penurunan persentase lemak tubuh (48,80 ± 2,63 %), danpenurunan massa bebas-lemak (2,87 ± 0,06 %). Dari analisis data dapat disimpulkan bahwa pengeluaran energi tidak diimbangi dengan asupan energi yang cukup, sehingga terjadi perubahan berat badan dan komposisi tubuh.Kata Kunci: pengeluaran energi, kegiatan alam terbuka Determination of energy expenditure during outdoor activity is performed to reduce the risk of accidents and to avoid a fall of performance during activity. In this study, energy expenditure measurement was performed during Pendidikan Dasar Wanadri (basic training of Wanadri or PDW) 2010, at Situ Lembang which is 1600 meter above sea level, from 4 to 16 July 2010. Measurement of body weight, body fat percentage and blood pressure was performed on certain days of each different type of activity. Questionnaires were distributed on the last day of each different activity. Subjects were 6 males, which average age, height, and weight were 20.7 ± 1.6 years old, 171.8 ± 3 cm, and 66.2 ± 5.1 kg respectively. Energy expenditure during PDW activity was significantly larger, around 2-3 times of the normal activity energy expenditure prior to PDW (2956 ± 495 kcal/day). The largest energy expenditure recorded was during long march activity (8286 ± 730 kcal/day). Average energy intake during PDW was recorded at 1380 kcal/day. Weight loss (10.20 ± 0.80 %), body fat percentage decrease (48.80 ± 2.63 %), and fat-free mass decrease (2.87 ± 0.06 %) occurred in subjects during the activity. It was concluded from the data that the energy expenditure was much larger than the energy intake, which caused changes in body weight as well as body composition.Keywords: energy expenditure, outdoor activity

Abstract

Hisbiscus surattensis L the local name “tamoenju” is utilized by ethnic Sumari (Central Sulawesi) as an antidiabetic herbal, but de nitive studies on ef cacy and safety are lacking. Therefore, this study was aimed to investigate the antidiabetic activity of ethanolic extract of the leaves and fractions using in vitro and in vivo models. Ethanol extract (EE) of the leaves of H. surattensis L was prepared by maceration. The ethanol extract was separated into three fractions by liquid/liquid extractions to yield n-hexane (HF), ethyl acetate (EAF) and water fraction (WF). Firstly, the extract and fractions were tested for its inhibitory activity on α-glucosidase in vitro. The results showed IC50 EE, HF and WF more than 5000 ppm while the IC50 fraction of EAF 3888.34 ppm. Then, oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) of the extract/fractions were carried out in normal mice. On OGTT, the ethanol extract, EAF, and WF at doses of 150 and 300 mg/kg BW were able to inhibit increasing the level of glucose in the blood. The results showed that the extract and fraction of H. surattensis L leaves in vitro had no effect as α-glucosidase inhibitor but in vivo had the hypoglycemic effect especially on the fraction of ethyl acetate and the water fraction. Key words: α-glucosidase, antidiabetic, Hibiscus suratttensis, glucose tolerance.

Abstract

Saponin fraction of seed flesh of Oyong (Luffaacutangula [L.]Roxb) has been investigated to have a hepatoprotective activity in rats with fibrotic chronic liver damage. This research was conducted to evaluate whether saponin fraction of Oyongseed flesh has a hepatoprotective activity in CCl4-induced acute liver damage. Hepatoprotective activity was determined by measuring the activity of liver enzymes (SGOT, SGPT, LDH), total nitrite/nitrate level, liver index and liver histology. Saponin fraction of Oyong flesh seeds 10mg/kg BW and meniran extract 400mg/kg BW alone showed hepatoprotective activity. Administration of saponin fraction 10mg/kb BB decreased SGPT and LDH significantly over untreated group. Group given meniran extract at dose of 200mg/kg BW showed decreased on LDH, while at dose of 400mg/kg BW decreased SGPT, SGOT, and LDH significantly. Hystological observation revealed any improvement in liver morphology especially after treated with saponin fraction 10mg/kg BWand meniran extract at dose of 400mg/kg BW. However, all groups treated with combination of saponin and meniran did not show improvement both at biochemical parameter and liver histology. In conclusion, saponin extract with dose of 10mg/kg BW and meniran extract at dose of 400mg/kg BW showed hepatoprotector activity. In contrast, combination of both did not show any hepatoprotective effect and it was suspected that they have antagonist effects.Key words:hepatoprotective, CCl4-induced liver fibrosis, Luffaacutangula, Phyllanthusniruri
