Abstract

Introduction: Traditional and herbal medicine are two of the primary treatments in a developing country. Both avocado leaf extract and avocado seed extract (Persea americana) have been proven to have an antihyperlipidemic effect in experimental animals. This study was conducted to analyze the effect of avocado leaf and seed extract in a combination form on total cholesterol, LDL, and HDL of hypercholesterolemia mice induced by high fat diet and duck egg yolk.Methods: The sample unit of this study consisted of 25 mice (Mus musculus) and divided into 5 groups: KO1 (control), KO2 (hypercholesterolemia group), KO3 (1st treatment group), KO4 (2nd treatment group), and KO5 (3rd treatment group). The induction phase was done for 35 days, whilst the treatment phase was done for 28 days. All data were analyzed using t test and one-way ANOVA.Results: Administration of the combination including avocado leaf and seed extract (CALSE) in all treatment group proved to decrease total cholesterol and LDL level in mice although it was not statistically significant (p=0,420; p=0,882). Meanwhile, CALSE had a different effect on HDL KO3 level with HDL KO4 and KO5 level, in which HDL KO3 level tended to decrease and HDL KO4 and KO5 level tended to increase.Conclusion: In conclusion, CALSE has the potential to act as an antihyperlipidemic agent which derive from flavonoid and saponin. The potential efficacy might be achieved in a combination rather than in an individual form.

Abstract

Introduction: Pain is an unpleasant experience that reduces a person's quality of life. Pain related complain can be treated by administering analgesic drugs. Several studies show that the availability of analgesics is still low, especially opioid analgesics. Dayak onion (Eleutherine americana (Aubl.) Merr.) are used by the Dayaks to relieve pain. Several empirical studies have shown that Dayak onion contain compounds including quercetin as a potential analgesic. This research aimed to investigate the potential analgesic effect of Dayak onion using hot plate method.Methods: The research was conducted experimentally on 36 BALB/c male mice which randomly divided into 6 different treatment groups of Dayak onion exctract, aspirin, codein and aquadest. Each group were thermally pain-induced for latency period measurement by the hot plate test method. Obtained data were processed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) followed by Dunnett test.Results: There was a difference in the latency period between the baseline response time and the response time after being treated in each group. ANOVA test results showed significant results (p<0.05) so that the resulting latency period was significant. Dunnett test results showed significant results (p<0.05) in negative control group. Based on these results, Dayak onion are proven to have an analgesic effect on heat stimulation.Conclusion: Dayak onion possess significant analgesic effect on thermally pain-induced mice. Dayak onion extract 90 mg/kg mouse produced better analgesic effects than aspirin 65 mg/kg mouse.
