Abstract

The obesityincreases the riskof morbidityandmortalityof type2diabetesandcardiovasculardisease. Leptin, an adipocytokine that regulate metabolic process, was increase in obesity. Hyperleptinemia activate the transcriptionfactorNuclearFactorKappaB(NF-kB), leading to the occurrence of inflammation. The chronic inflammation in vessels would cause the dysfunction of endothelial cell.Bitter melon (Momordica charantia) has beenused by many peoplefor the treatmentof diseases. Studies showthatbitter melon fruitcontainssaponins(charantins) andalkaloids. This study aimed toinvestigate the effect of bitter melon extract on the level of activated NF-κB. Cultured endothelial cell, HUVECs (Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial), is used for a model of endothelial cells. There are 5 groups: 1) HUVECs culture without leptin as negative control; 2) HUVECs culture with leptin as positive control; and 3 groups given various dosages of bitter melon (0.1 mg/ml; 0.05 mg/ml; 0.01 mg/ml; 0.005 mg/ml; 0.001 mg/ml) and Leptin. Leptin (500 ng/ml) is added on HUVECs to stimulate responds of endothelial cells mimicking obesity condition. Momordica charantiawere given 2 h before leptin treatment. The level of activated NF-KB was measured by ELISA. This study showed that leptin significantly induce NFkB activation and the treatment of bitter melon inhibit NFkB activation significantly (p<0.05). Keywords: Leptin, Endothel, bitter melon, NFkB

Abstract

Background: Premature Ageing can accelerate the emergence of degenerative diseases. Plantation workers or farmers are a group of workers who are very vulnerable to degenerative diseases and accidents in carrying out their work. This activity aims to socialize the prevention of premature aging among plantation workers. Method: This activity uses the counseling method with the target of plantation workers in Pakis Village, Panti District, Jember Regency. The stages of the activities start from the preparation, implementation, and evaluation of activities. The instrument used is a booklet. Results: The socialization contained definitions of premature aging and emerging degenerative diseases, CERDIK prevention, adherence to using personal protective equipment (PPE) while at work, hand washing with soap (CTPS) behavior, and increased knowledge and behavior paying attention to a healthy and balanced nutritional diet, especially foods that contain antioxidants. Participants actively participate through question and answer. Conclusion: socialization activities to increase the knowledge, understanding, and awareness of plantation workers are crucial to prevent premature aging and degenerative diseases.Keywords: prevention, premature aging, plantation workers
