Abstract

General background the use of natural extracts in assessing toxicity has gained attention due to the growing interest in alternative medicine and natural products. Specific background Sesbania grandiflora, commonly known as turi putih, is a plant with potential medicinal properties, but its safety profile regarding hepatic toxicity remains inadequately explored. Knowledge gap while previous studies have examined various plants for their pharmacological effects, research specifically focusing on the hepatotoxicity of turi putih extract is lacking. Aims this study aims to evaluate the toxicity of ethanol extract from the bark of Sesbania grandiflora on liver function, as measured by SGOT and SGPT levels, in Mus musculus. Results showed no mortality or toxic symptoms in the mice exposed to the extract. Macroscopic examination of the liver indicated normal color, consistency, and shape. Statistical analysis yielded p-values of 0.502 for liver weight, 0.226 for SGOT, and 0.366 for SGPT, indicating no significant effects from the treatment. Novelty this research contributes new insights into the safety profile of Sesbania grandiflora, demonstrating its non-toxic effects at the tested doses. Implications the findings suggest that the bark extract of turi putih may be safe for use, highlighting its potential in herbal medicine without adverse hepatic effects. Highlights: No observed toxicity or mortality in mice after exposure to the extract. Normal liver function indicated by SGOT and SGPT levels. Potential safety of turi putih bark extract for medicinal use. Keywords: Turi Putih, Hepatotoxicity, Sesbania grandiflora, Mice, Ethanol Extract

Abstract

General background the use of traditional medicinal plants has gained attention due to their potential therapeutic benefits and safety. Specific background among these, Sesbania grandiflora (L.) Pers., commonly known as white turi, is recognized for its various bioactive compounds. However, there is a knowledge gap regarding the toxicity of its stem bark extract, particularly concerning its effects on vital organs such as the kidneys. Aims this study aims to evaluate the toxicity of white turi stem bark extract on mice by determining the LD50 and assessing kidney health through biochemical parameters such as Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine levels.The results indicate no significant toxic symptoms or mortality in the treated mice, with macroscopic kidney observations showing reddish-brown coloration and a consistent texture resembling red kidney beans.Novelty this study provides novel insights into the safety profile of Sesbania grandiflora stem bark extract, suggesting that it does not pose significant renal toxicity. Implications these findings support its traditional use while encouraging further research into its pharmacological properties. Highlights: No significant toxic symptoms observed in treated mice. Macroscopic kidney analysis indicated no severe damage. Statistical results confirmed no renal toxicity at various extract doses. Keywords: Sesbania Grandiflora, Toxicity, LD50, Kidneys, Mice

Abstract

This study investigates the acute toxicity of white turi flower extract (Sesbania grandiflora) on kidney electrolyte levels in rats (Rattus norvegicus). Conducted at Muhammadiyah University of Sidoarjo, male Wistar rats were divided into control and treatment groups, receiving 10,000, 15,000, and 20,000 mg/kgBW doses. Symptoms of toxicity included lethargy and hair loss, but no deaths occurred. Despite normal macroscopic kidney observations, sodium and potassium levels significantly increased with higher doses (p=0.000). These findings suggest that high doses of white turi flower extract can affect kidney electrolytes, indicating potential toxicity. Further research is needed to assess long-term safety for medicinal use. Highlights: 1. High doses increase sodium and potassium in rat kidneys.2. Symptoms: lethargy, hair loss, no fatalities.3. Requires further research for long-term safety. Keywords: Sesbania grandiflora, acute toxicity, kidney electrolytes, sodium, potassium

Abstract

General Background: Oxidative stress generated by excessive free radicals contributes to hepatic injury, particularly during metabolism of hepatotoxic drugs. Specific Background: Paracetamol overdose produces the reactive metabolite N-acetyl-p-benzoquinone imine, which triggers lipid peroxidation and elevates liver enzymes such as Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) and γ-Glutamyl Transferase (GGT). Sesbania grandiflora leaves contain bioactive compounds including flavonoids, alkaloids, and tannins with antioxidant properties. Knowledge Gap: Scientific evidence describing the biochemical response of ALP and GGT to Sesbania grandiflora leaf extract under paracetamol-induced hepatotoxic conditions remains limited. Aims: This study evaluated the biochemical changes in ALP and GGT levels and oxidative stress marker malondialdehyde (MDA) in male Wistar rats administered toxic paracetamol doses followed by graded Sesbania grandiflora leaf extract treatment. Results: Experimental randomized controlled laboratory research involving 28 rats demonstrated significant differences in MDA, ALP, and GGT values across treatment groups (p<0.05). Paracetamol administration elevated oxidative stress and liver enzyme parameters, while extract administration decreased MDA and reduced ALP and GGT levels. The 1000 mg/kg body weight dose produced enzyme values approaching physiological ranges. Novelty: This study presents combined biochemical evaluation of oxidative stress indicators and dual liver enzyme parameters following graded Sesbania grandiflora leaf extract administration in paracetamol-induced hepatic injury. Implications: Sesbania grandiflora leaf extract represents a potential natural hepatoprotective candidate with antioxidant activity relevant for managing drug-induced liver injury and supporting development of plant-based therapeutic agents. Highlights: Highest Administered Dose Returned Enzyme Biomarkers Close to Physiological Values. Antioxidant Administration Lowered Lipid Peroxidation Indicator Concentrations in Treated Animals. Statistical Analysis Confirmed Significant Biochemical Differences Between Intervention and Control Groups. Keywords: Sesbania Grandiflora; Hepatoprotection; Oxidative Stress; Alp; Gamma Glutamyl Transferase

Abstract

The school canteen has an important role to fulfill the food needs of school children. The need for fulfillment of hygienic foods is ordered by the factors of place and hygiene of the food handlers. Foods that do not meet the requirements and safety that can be given due to health problems or diseases related to food such as diarrhea, cholera, dysentery, typhus, and other food poisoning. The number of food handlers in the cafeteria of SD Muhammadiyah 1 and 2 Sidoarjo competes 6 people. Based on the results of observations and interviews, they did not have sufficient educational background and never gained knowledge about food hygiene and sanitation. The purpose of this PPM activity are to improve the knowledge, attitudes, and behavior of food handlers about food hygiene and sanitation so not to harm their consumers health, especially school children. The method used is a training and mentoring model for food handlers starting when preparing food, processing, and serving to customers. The results of these program can be known about changes in the knowledge and skills of food handlers in food hygiene and sanitation.
