Abstract

Background Dieffenbachia seguine (Jacq.) Schott, commonly known as the dumb cane, is a tropical ornamental plant known for its toxic and proinflammatory properties. Its potential as a natural inducer of inflammation warrants further investigation, particularly via the intranasal route. Objective This study aimed to evaluate the proinflammatory effect of D. seguine leaf extract nanoemulsion by measuring the levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) following intranasal administration in rats. Methods Wistar rats (n= 24) were divided into six groups: water for injection (WFI, negative control); emulsion base; lipopolysaccharide (LPS, positive control); and D. seguine extract nanoemulsions at concentrations of 1%, 2%, and 4%. Each rat received an intranasal instillation, and IL-6 and TNF-α concentrations in the BALF were quantified using ELISA. Results Only the 4% D. seguine nanoemulsion group showed a significant increase in IL-6 and TNF-α levels compared to the control. Lower concentrations (1% and 2%) did not induce significant cytokine elevation. All treatment groups showed significantly lower cytokine levels than the LPS group. Conclusion D. seguine extract nanoemulsion at 4% concentration demonstrates potential as a natural inflammation-inducing agent via the intranasal route, although its effect remains lower than that of LPS.

Abstract

The purpose of the study was to examine the safety of combination of basil, turmeric and bean sprouts extract solution on the hematological parameters and blood biochemistry profile of rats. The combined ingredients used in the study were obtained from different places. A total of 15 rats were divided into 3 groups based on the treatment dose. Each group consisted of 5 rats. The rats in control group (K) did not given extract combination, while the rats in group KKT 1 % and KKT 5% received combination of basil, turmeric and bean sprouts extract at dose of 1% and 5%, respectively. Effectiveness and safety tests were carried out by evaluating the hematological and blood biochemical profiles of female rats. The data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). The results showed that the rats given combination of basil, turmeric and bean sprouts extract at a dose of 1% and, dose of 5% did not had significant different compared to control (P0.05), but tend to have positive effects in increasing several blood components that play an important role in maintaining immunity during pregnancy. It can be concluded that the combination of basil, turmeric and bean sprouts at dose of 1% and 5% do not adversely affect hematology profile and blood biochemistry of rats. This indicates that the extract combination does not cause any toxicity effects on the rats.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the efficacy of a herbal combination of avocado, mung bean sprouts, and holy basil (Jamu ATOKE) in optimizing the reproductive health of adult female rats. Eighteen female Sprague Dawley rats aged 9-10 weeks old weighing around 180-250 g, and had not been pregnant previously were equally and randomly divided into 3 groups: one control group and two treatment groups (n= 6 rats per group). The treatment groups received Jamu ATOKE with a concentration of 2.5 and 5%, respectively. Jamu ATOKE was added to the drinking water and consumed by the rats for 30 days prior to pregnancy. Reproductivity (pregnancy success, estrogen and progesterone hormone concentrations), and health performance (body weight gain, food, and water consumption, motor activity, red blood cell (RBC) count, white blood cell (WBC) count and differentials, SGPT, SGOT, ureum, and creatinine) of rats were observed. The results showed that groups receiving the Jamu ATOKE had better reproductive and health performance compared to those of the control group. The administration of Jamu ATOKE can significantly increase the concentration of estrogen and progesterone in rats (P0.05). It can also improve the fertility and health of the female rats prior to pregnancy.
