Abstract

Coconut (Cocos nucifera) is an Indonesian commodity that has high economic value tall. Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) is one of the processed coconut products whose selling value is very high, because The composition of VCO consists of medium-chain fatty acids that can maintain a healthy body and prevent various diseases. The process of making VCO used in This research is an enzymatic method using pineapple weevil as a bromelain enzyme. This study aims to determine the effect of enzymatic administration of VCO and an enzymatic dose of VCO which is effective in reducing urea and creatinine levels in hypercholesterolemic-diabetic male white rats (Rattus norvegicus). This study was an experimental laboratory with a modified pretest and posttest randomized controlled group design using 30 test animals which were divided into 6 treatment groups. Each group consisted of 5 test animals, namely normal control, negative control, and positive control, with doses of 0.2, 0.4, and 0.8 mL/kg BW. The data obtained were analyzed using a One Way Anova and non- parametric statistical test by Kruskal Wallis. test and followed by a further Mann Whitney test to determine differences between treatments. The results showed that enzymatic VCO at a dose of 0.8 mL/kg BW was an effective dose in reducing urea and creatinine levels with an average decrease of 17.40 mg/dL and 0.36 mg/dL. The novelty in this study showed that the enzymatic VCO had an effect on reducing urea and creatinine levels in diabetic hypercholesterolemic male white rats.

Abstract

Purple leaves are one of the plants that are widely used as medicine. Purple leaves have 3 types of plant varieties, namely purple leaves, green leaves, and white mottled leaves.  Purple leaves have pharmacological activities that can be used as medicine, including antioxidants (improving the deterioration of cells in the body), anti-inflammatory (reducing or suppressing inflammation), antidiabetic (lowering blood glucose levels), analgesics (relieving pain), immunomodulators (increasing the work of the immune system in the body), antihemorrhoids (treating symptoms and complaints of hemorrhoids), and antibacterial (as an antiseptic). The purpose of this study was to determine the antioxidant activity of purple leaf ethanol extract (Graphtophyllum pictum (L.) Griff) in vitro using the DPPH method and to determine its effectiveness as an analgesic and anti-inflammatory against Wistar rats.The results showed that antioxidant activity showed an IC50 value of 72.31 ppm (strong antioxidant). Meanwhile, in the analgetic test, the highest percentage of analgesic effectiveness was found at a dose of 100 mg/kg BW (129.64%) and showed anti-inflammatory activity at a dose of 100 mg/kgBW with a percentage decrease in edem volume of 28.73% at the sixth hour.
