Abstract

The aim of this research was to determine the toxic effect of Anredera cordifolia leaf extract on the Cavia cobaya liver which was evaluated by the histopathological examination of liver tissue. The materials used were 8 female guinea pigs 2.5 months old that were divided into 4 groups by simple random sampling, each treatment was given to 2 female C. cobaya. Treatments given were 0, 10, 50 and 90 mg of A. cordifolia leaf extract/head, designated as T0, T1, T2 and T3, respectively. Materials were given treatment daily as long as 10 days prepartum. All of the guinea pigs were slaughtered at day 11, and the liver were taken to examined their histopathological changes. Each of the liver tissues were processed by paraffin block-embedded and hematoxylin eosin (HE) staining method. The results of this study indicate the presence of albuminosa degeneration or mild degeneration (DH +) from group control and hydropic degeneration or moderate degeneration (DH ++) in all treatment groups and the weight of C. cobaya liver which was given an extract of A. cordifolia 50 mg/head was not significantly different from the control but was significantly different from 10 and 90 mg/head. The conclusion was Binahong's (A. cordifolia) leaves extract up to the dosage 90 mg/head had no significantly toxicity effect on the liver of guinea pigs (C. cobaya).

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of betel nut extract on the macroscopically and microscopically quality of spermatozoa. Materials and methods were used for 16 male Ettawa goats at the age of 2 years. The preparation of betel nut extract and macroscopic observations of spermatozoa via the use of odors, colors, and volumes, as well as microscopic observations of spermatozoa through the use of mass motion, mass motility, and individual motility. The betel nut extract was administered orally for 15 days. The treatments in this study were T0 (without the provision of betel nut extract), T1 (provision of betel nut extract (90 mg/goat/day)), T2 (provision of betel nut extract (180 mg/goat/day)), T3 (provision of betel nut extract (270 mg/goat/day)). The results showed that the addition of betel nut extract was significantly different than without extracts (P<0.05). The goats without betel nut extract had the lowest quality of spermatozoa, whereas the goats treated with a betel nut extract (270 mg/goat/day) had the highest quality of spermatozoa of all the treatments. There was an increase in spermatozoa in the 10th data collection, including smell, colour, volume, mass motility, and individual motility. Furthermore, male goats were given betel nut extract at a dose of 270 mg/goat/day, which improved spermatozoa quality both macroscopically and microscopically. Subsequently, we assumed that betel nut extract could improve reproductive quality in male goats.
