Abstract

Antioxidant compounds are vital for the body. An imbalance in the body's levels of free radicals and antioxidants will cause oxidative stress and cause disease because free radicals will damage the surrounding molecules (lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids), causing damage to tissues and cells. Today many studies are interested in using natural antioxidants in food, beverages, cosmetics, and therapies derived from plants. Centella asiatica is a plant often used as a source of antioxidants because it contains active compounds such as terpenoids, flavonoids, polyphenols, tannins, carotene, and vitamin C, which have antioxidant activity. In addition to containing 78% menthol, mint leaves contain resin and tannins, which are several polyphenolic antioxidants that prevent or neutralize the effects of free radicals. Antioxidants are compounds that can delay, slow down, or inhibit oxidation reactions and fight free radicals. The results showed that the antioxidant activity of the combination of Centela asiatica leaf extract and mint leaf extract based on the results of the analysis showed that it was included in the strong category.

Abstract

This study aims to test the antioxidant activity of salak Bali peel extract (Salacca zalacca var. amboinensis) against brain cells of male mice (Mus musculus L.) exposed to alloxan. Free radicals can trigger damage to brain cells through oxidative mechanisms, which contribute to the development of various neurodegenerative diseases that can damage cells in the body. Salak Bali peel extract contains bioactive compounds such as flavonoids, tannins, and polyphenols that are antioxidant-active. This study was conducted using a completely randomized design (CRD) in mice induced by alloxan at a dose of 150 mg/kg BW (group 1), followed by oral administration of salak Bali peel extract at a dose of 4.2 mg/kg BW (group 2) and 8.4 mg/kg BW (group 3) for 35 days. The control group used in this study was alloxan, which was used to compare the treatment results with conditions without intervention so that the effects of the treatment could be identified more clearly. The results of the antioxidant analysis test using the DPPH method showed an IC50 value of the salak Bali peel extract of 45.5 µg/mL, indicating a high antioxidant capacity. Histopathological analysis revealed that administration of salak Bali peel extract could reduce necrosis in the brain tissue of mice induced by alloxan, suggesting a neuroprotective effect. Therefore, salak Bali peel extract has the potential to be a source of natural antioxidants that can be used to prevent brain damage due to oxidative stress and as a therapy for treating neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract

Chronic stress is a condition that can adversely affect the central nervous system, particularly the brain, by causing damage to neurons in the hippocampal region, which plays a crucial role in memory and learning functions. This study aimed to evaluate the neuroprotective effects of a combined extract of gotu kola leaves (Centella asiatica) and peppermint leaves (Mentha piperita) on the number of normal brain cells in male mice (Mus musculus) subjected to chronic stress. A Completely Randomized Design (CRD) was used with five treatment groups: a negative control group (K−) with no stress and no extract, a positive control group (K+) exposed to stress without extract administration, and three treatment groups (P1, P2, and P3) receiving the combined extract at doses of 100 mg/kg BW, 200 mg/kg BW, and 300 mg/kg BW, respectively. Stress induction was carried out using the immobilization method for 14 consecutive days, followed by extract administration for 35 days. After the treatment period, hippocampal brain tissue was collected and histologically analyzed using Hematoxylin-Eosin (H&E) staining. To assess the treatment effects, One-Way ANOVA was performed. Significant differences were found, Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (DMRT) was conducted at a 5% significance level (p< 0.05). The results demonstrated that administration of the gotu kola and peppermint extract combination significantly reduced neuronal damage and increased the number of normal brain cells. The P3 group (300 mg/kg BW) exhibited the highest number of normal brain cells and the lowest neuronal damage scores, closely resembling the normal condition in the K− group. Therefore, the combination of gotu kola and peppermint leaf extracts shows potential as a natural neuroprotective agent in mitigating the adverse effects of chronic stress on the brain.

Abstract

Spermatogenesis is a complex process influenced by various factors, including nutrition and bioactive compounds from natural sources. Salak Bali fruit (Salacca zalacca Var. Amboinensis) is known to contain antioxidant compounds that may support male reproductive health, particularly in enhancing testicular cell count. This study aims to analyze the effect of salak Bali fruit extract on the testicular cell count of male mice (Mus musculus L.). This research employed an experimental design using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 24 healthy male mice divided into four treatment groups. The control group (K) received only distilled water, while the treatment groups were administered salak Bali fruit extract at doses of 200 mg/kg BW (P1), 400 mg/kg BW (P2), and 600 mg/kg BW (P3) for 35 days. Data analysis was conducted using a one-way ANOVA test, followed by a post hoc test if a significant difference was found (p < 0.05). The results indicated that the treatment groups exhibited a higher average testicular cell count compared to the control group. The most optimal increase was observed in the group receiving a 600 mg/kg BW dose (P3). This suggests that the bioactive compounds in salak Bali fruit may play a role in enhancing the spermatogenesis process.

Abstract

Chronic stress is known to cause neuronal damage in the hippocampus, particularly in the CA1 and CA3 areas, which play a crucial role in memory and learning. One way to prevent this damage is by using natural ingredients with neuroprotective properties. This study aimed to compare the effects of Centella asiatica and Mentha piperita leaf extracts, either singly or in combination, on the number of normal neurons in the hippocampus of male mice exposed to stress. Twenty-five male mice were divided into five treatment groups: K− (control without treatment), K+ (stress without extract), P1 (stress + Centella asiatica extract), P2 (stress + Mentha piperita extract), and P3 (stress + combination of Centella asiatica and Mentha piperita). Stress was induced using a restraint stress method, while the extracts were administered orally at the prescribed dosage. After the treatment period, the hippocampus was removed, and histological slides were prepared with Hematoxylin-Eosin staining to count the number of normal neurons in the CA1 and CA3 areas. The results showed that the K+ group experienced a significant decrease in the number of normal neurons compared to the K− group. Administration of gotu kola (P1) and mint (P2) extracts increased the number of neurons compared to K+, but not to the same extent as K−. The combination of Centella asiatica and Mentha piperita extracts (P3) showed the most optimal effect, with the number of normal neurons approaching that of the negative control group. These findings indicate that the combination of Centella asiatica and Mentha piperita has synergistic potential in protecting hippocampal neurons from stress-induced damage. Further research is needed to explore the molecular mechanisms underlying this neuroprotective effect.

Abstract

Obesity is a condition where the body is overweight due to fat accumulation, each exceeding 20-25% of body weight for men and women. L-carnitine is a nutrient that plays a role in transporting fat to the mitochondria to be burned and converted into energy for the body. Sufficient L-carnitine allows the body to burn fat at optimal levels. This research aims to determine the side effects of fed L-carnitine supplements against liver histology. This study used a completely randomized design (CRD) with four groups comprising six albino rats. The treatments were fed orally by distilled water 1 ml/day (Control), P1 fed by L-carnitine supplement dose 100 mg/kg body weight orally 1ml/day, P2 fed by L-carnitine supplement dose 150 mg/kg body weight orally 1ml/day, P3 fed by L-carnitine supplement dose 200 mg/kg body weight orally 1ml/day. Treatments were given to albino rats every day for 90 days. Variables observed measured were lipid degeneration, central vein dilation, and pyknotic nuclei. Data were analyzed with the statistical program (SPSS 22.0 for Windows) with One Way ANOVA. The results showed that feeding L-carnitine supplements in high doses for long periods can damage the liver cells of male rats. The microscopic liver damage statistical analysis showed significant differences (P<0.05) between the control and treatment groups.
