Abstract

ABSTRACT Non-alcoholic fatty liver can be triggered by used cooking oil consumption due to the formation of free radicals and the accumulation of fatty acids in the body. Astaxanthin is a powerful antioxidant that may be able to inhibit the pathogenesis of fatty liver. This study aims to determine the effect of astaxanthin in inhibiting fatty liver (steatosis) and levels of Gamma-Glutamyltransferase (GGT) in male Wistar rats given used cooking oil. An experimental study with Post-test Only Control Group Design was conducted on 36 male Wistar rats aged 3.5-4 months with an approximate bodyweight of 200-210 grams divided randomly into 2 groups. The control group was given 0.42 ml of used cooking oil + 0.5 ml of distilled water, and the treatment group was given 0.42 ml of used cooking oil + 0.2 mg of astaxanthin each day for 14 days. On day 15, blood tests and hepatic histopathology were performed to check GGT serum levels and steatosis. The comparative test was conducted to compare the results of the control and treatment groups. The results showed that the mean steatosis and GGT levels in the treatment group were significantly lower than the control group. It can be concluded that giving astaxanthin can inhibit fatty liver (steatosis) and increase GGT serum levels in male Wistar rats given used cooking oil.

Abstract

Background. The exposure of cigarette smoke impacts negatively on Leydig cell count and testosterone level. Astaxanthin is known for its ability to neutralize free radicals far more potent than any other kind of antioxidant. Research objectives. This research aims to prove the effect of Astaxanthin in inhibiting decrease of Leydig cell count and testosterone level in male Wistar rats exposed with cigarette smoke. Methodology. The posttest only control group study design was conducted on 36 male Wistar rats, 12-16 weeks in age, with 200-210 grams body weight. Samples were randomly divided into two groups, consisting of a control group exposed with cigarette smoke and 0.5 ml of aquadest and a study group exposed with cigarette smoke and 0.1 mg of astaxanthin/200 gr BW daily for 30 days. On day 31, blood samples were taken to measure the testosterone level. Both testes were taken for Leydig cells count assessment. Comparative analysis was done to see any significant difference between the study and control group. Research results. The results show that the mean number of Leydig cells and testosterone levels in the study group was significantly higher than the control group (p<0.01). Conclusion. Oral astaxanthin administration inhibited the decrease of Leydig cell count and testosterone level in male Wistar rats exposed with cigarette smoke.
