Abstract

Background: Clove is known as antioxidant spice that used in cigarettes, spice for food or soup, and traditional medicine. It is believed that cloves could protect smokers from cigarette-free radicals. Otherwise, the study on clove as an antioxidant was still confused. Objective: To reveal that clove can overcome carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) and its free-radical derives Method: This study was experimental research, using 20 Wistar rats that were divided into 4 groups, Group 1 (CCl4 + cloves 3), group 2 (CCl4 + cloves 1), group 3 (normal control, without being offered treatment), group 4 (positive control, induced by CCl4 and followed by 100 mg alpha-tocopherol), and group 5 (negative control, only induced by CCl4). Rat livers were homogenized and followed with CAT activity measurement using the spectrophotometry method of Mates. Results: There was a significant difference in mean between the groups (p= 0,001). Further test, the Post Hoc showed that there is a significance different between group 1 and 4 (p=0.008), 1 and 5 (p=0.001), 2 and 5 (p=0.001), 3 and 5 (p=0.001), and 4 and 5 (p=0.007). Group 1 (CCl4+Clove3) has the highest catalase activity. Conclusion: Syzygium aromaticum (clove) oral administration with the dose of 200 mg/kg rat body weight against 0.55 mg/kg BW CCl4 show an increase of catalase activity but did not overcome the oxidative stress.
