Abstract

Birds that are members of vertebrate animals (vertebrates) that have feathers and wings, this taxonomic animal belongs to the Aves class. Birds have important roles in ecosystems, among others, as pollinators, seed dispersers, and pest control. Biodiversity in areas determined by habitat and level of human activity, as well as various species of birds in homogeneous forest areas such as oil palm. This research was conducted in January 2019 until May 2019, using the Visual Encounter Survey (VES) and Point Count method which was conducted in 3 observation sessions (morning, afternoon, evening). The research data will be presented in tabular form and analyzed descriptively. The results obtained are 3 species of birds in the area of oil palm plantations, namely Cekakak Shrub (Halcyon smyrnensis), Tekukur (Streptopelia chinensis), and Large Lathe (Centropus sinensis). Burung adalah anggota vertebrata yang memiliki bulu dan sayap, termasuk dalam Kelas Aves. Burung memiliki peran penting dalam ekosistem sebagai penyerbuk, penyebar benih, dan pengendalian hama. Keanekaragaman hayati di kawasan tersebut ditentukan oleh habitat dan tingkat aktivitas manusia, serta berbagai jenis burung di kawasan hutan homogen seperti kelapa sawit. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan pada bulan Januari sampai Mei 2019, dengan menggunakan metode Visual Encounter Survey (VES) dan Point Count dalam 3 waktu pengamatan (pagi, siang, dan sore). Total hanya 3 jenis burung yang ditemukan di daerah penelitian, yaitu Semak Cekakak (Halcyon smyrnensis), Tekukur (Streptopelia chinensis), dan Bubut Besar (Centropus sinensis).

Abstract

Uric acid (gout) caused by high levels of uric acid in the blood (hyperuricemia). Inflammation caused by uric acid crystals cause pain, stiffness, and swelling in the joints. Gout medication allopurinol commonly consumed ie the mechanism of action as an inhibitor of xanthine oxidase, but this drug side effects such as nausea and diarrhea. The skin of the mangosteen fruit contains xanthones and flavonoids compounds were allegedly able to lower uric acid levels. This study aims to determine the effect of mangosteen peel extract (Garcinia mangostana L.) on uric acid levels in mice (Mus musculus L. Swiss Webster) Males. Research has been conducted in December-January 2016 Biology Laboratory of the Department of Biological Science UNP. This research is experimental method completely randomized design (CRD) ie 4 treatments and 6 replications. Such treatment 0 g / kg (Control / P1), 0.2 g / kg (P2), 0.4 g / kg (P3), 0.6 g / kg (P4). Data were analyzed using ANOVA and using Paired Sample T-Test. Parameters measured were basal uric acid levels before and after treatment. Data taken after 4 days of the treated mice. The results were obtained uric acid levels in mice after treatment are: P1 (Control) 6.43 mg / dL, P2 5.65 mg / dL, P3 3.9 mg / dL, and P4 3.7 mg / dL. Based on the results of this study concluded that the mangosteen rind extract has no effect on uric acid levels in male mice. Keywords: uric acid (gout), xanthine oxidase, hyperuricemia, an antioxidant.
