Abstract

Air pollution is a global problem faced by most large cities worldwide. Air has a very important role in the lives of humans and other living creatures. Air is a natural resource whose sustainability must be protected into the future. Therefore, efforts are needed to contain CO levels in the air using Sansevieria plants. Therefore, this research aims to obtain optimal levels of CO-absorbing compounds in Sansevieria sp. as carbon monoxide gas reducers. This type of research uses experimental methods (quasi-experimental). Quantitative data collection was carried out based on the results of experiments in the field. Field experiments with a Complete Random Design (Complete Random Design) with the conditions of each experiment assumed to be homogeneous. The research results show this plant contains Aliphatic Hydrocarbons and Primary Aliphatic Alcohols compounds. Keywords: air pollution, CO gas, sansevieria

Abstract

This study aims to determine the potential of water clover (M. crenata), curcuma (C. xanthorriza), and the combination of both extracts in order to improve the sperm quality of mice after MSG administration. This study used 35 Balb/C male mice (3 months old, 25-30 grams body weight (BW)). The animals randomly divided into 7 treatment groups, namely K0 (the group given MSG 4 mg/gBW), K1 (the group given MSG 4 mg/gBW and M. crenata 0.09 mg/gBW), K3 (the group given MSG 4 mg/gBW and C. xanthorriza 0.2 mg/gBW), K4 (the group that was given MSG 4 mg/gBW and a combination of M. crenata extract 0.045 mg/gBW and C. xanthorriza 0.1 mg/gBW), K5 (the group given M. crenata 0.09 mg/gBW), and K6 (the group given C. xanthorriza 0.2 mg/gBW). MSG and all extracts are given orally and daily for 30 days. The observed parameters were sperm’s motility, viability, and concentration. The data are analyzed using SPSS for windows with a One-way ANOVA test (p≤0.05) and Tukey HSD test. The administration of water clover, curcuma, and the combination of both extracts can significantly improve the sperm quality in mice exposed by MSG. The administration of single and combination extract can improve the motility, viability, and concentration of the sperm in treatment groups with the extract. In conclusion, the combination of water clover and curcuma ethanol extract significantly improved sperm quality.

Abstract

Cyprinus carpio is a freshwater species with high reproduction and adaptability. These factors make C. carpio being the freshwater fish that majority distributed and has high commercial value in some countries, including Indonesia. The maturation phase of male and female fish gonads does not occur simultaneously. Thus, sperm preservation could be an alternative technique to maintain the breeding process throughout the year. This research aims to determine the effect of storage time on C. carpio sperm quality strain Punten in NaCl solution-coconut water (Cocos nucifera L.). This study used common carp (C. carpio) 8 months of age with 500 g.bw-1. The C. carpio semen sample was divided into four treatment groups (0, 3, 6, and 9-hour storage time). The extender used in this research was composed of coconut water (C. nucifera L.) and NaCl solution with a ratio of 70% : 30%. The samples were stored in a refrigerator at 5oC. Fresh sperm sample was analyzed macroscopically using various parameters, such as pH, volume, color, and consistency. Meanwhile, the post-preserved sperm quality sample was analyzed microscopically (motility, viability, concentration, and abnormality). Furthermore, we also obtained the fertilization rate and hatching rate. The result showed that storage time affects the reduction of C. carpio sperm quality significantly (p<0.05). The highest sperm viability was obtained in NaCl solution-Cocos nucifera with a 3-hour storage time (78.33%±5.49). Our study found that the storage time significantly affected the sperm quality of C. carpio that was given with C. nucifera extender. Adding C. nucifera with 3,6,9 hour storage time also increases the fertilization and hatching rate compared with the group without C. nucifera. It can be shown that the addition of C. nucifera as a natural extender has the essential role of maintaining C. carpio sperm quality after a short storage period.
