Abstract

Background: Purine metabolism, carried out in the liver, results in the production of uric acid. Hyperuricemia is a condition of elevated level of uric acid in the blood that can lead to gout if untreated. Lemon (Citrus Limon.) contains flavonoids which act as antioxidants and have the potential role as antihyperuricemia. Aim: To determine the effect of lemon peel extract on uric acid levels. Methods: Thirty-six male wistar rats from Farmhouse Ungaran were randomly divided into 6 groups, consists of healthy control group (K0), hyperuricemic control (K1), allopurinol control (K2), and 3 treatment groups (P1, P2, P3). Hyperuricemia induced with administration of block broth and potassium oxonate for 4 weeks. Lemon peel extract doses of 17,5, 35, and 70 mg/kg BW, and allopurinol 90 mg/kg BW was given orally for 2 weeks. Statistical analysis was conducted to evaluate differences among groups before and after the intervention. Results: There was a significant difference (p<0,05) in uric acid levels before and after intervention of lemon peel extract in groups K1, K2, and P3. Meanwhile, in groups K0, P1, and P2, there were no significant differences observed. In the pre-test uric acid levels, there was a significant difference (p<0,05) between the K0 group and K1, K2, P1, P2, and P3. Conclusion: There were no significant differences observed in the uric level acid of the treatment and control group after intervention, but there were significant differences in the effects of graded dosages between the treatment groups.

Abstract

Moringa leaves (Moringa oleifera) contain high iron (Fe) but low bioavailability of Fe because it contains calcium and tannins. Vitamin C in red guava fruit (Psidium guajava) can increase Fe absorption. Sorbet made from red guava and Moringa leaves can be an alternative to overcome iron deficiency anemia in adolescent girls. This study aims to analyze the level of acceptance, levels of Fe, Ca, vitamin C, and tannins, as well as the bioavailability of Fe sorbet made from red guava and Moringa leaves. Sorbet consists of 5 formulas including, F1 (strawberry sorbet), F2 (red guava sorbet), F3 (Moringa leaf sorbet), F4 (red guava sorbet + 18% Moringa leaves), and F5 (red guava sorbet + 22% Moringa leaves). Acceptance level was tested with the hedonic method (appearance, smell, taste, and texture) and statistically analyzed using Friedman and Wilcoxon test. The Fe and Ca were analyzed using X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) method, vitamin C and tannins were analyzed using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and spectrophotometry methods. Fe bioavailability test was performed using the inverted bowel bag method. The level of preference for each attribute was significantly different (p < 0.05). The level of preference chosen was F2. The mean levels of Fe, Ca, vitamin C, and tannins in F4 were 0.95 ± 0.14, 5.91 ± 0.73, 26.29 ± 0.13, and 135.65 ± 0.91 mg/100 g. The mean levels of Fe, Ca, vitamin C, and tannins in F5 were 0.21 ± 0.29, 6.03 ± 0.67, 46.72 ± 0.69, and 87.76 ± 0.40 mg/100 g. The highest Fe bioavailability was F5 while the lowest was F3. The best formula based on the parameters of preference, Fe, Ca, vitamin C, and tannin levels, as well as Fe bioavailability, was sorbet F5.

Abstract

Background: Metabolic syndrome is a significant risk factor for both type 2 diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease, with a high prevalence in Asia Pacific, particularly in Indonesia. To reduce its prevalence, several studies have recommended the use of tropical nuts, which can be developed as functional foods and complementary treatment. In this context, the bioactivities of tropical nuts can largely be attributed to their rich content of monounsaturated fatty acids, polyunsaturated fatty acids, fiber, minerals, vitamins, phytosterols, and polyphenols. Objectives: This literature review aims to evaluate the potential benefits and mechanism of action of tropical nuts against metabolic syndrome. Methods: The study design was a literature review of several articles from 3 online databases, including PubMed, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect. Discussions: The results showed that tropical nuts (peanut, sacha inchi, cashew, tropical almond, and Brazil nut) had several biologically active components, such as arginine, fiber, fatty acid, mineral, vitamin, phenolic compounds, resveratrol, and phytosterol. The test samples were reported to have the ability to modulate Nrf2, SOD, MDA, GSH, GPx, and CAT due to their antioxidant activity. In inflammation, tropical nuts had a significant effect on NF-κB, NLRP3, TNF-ɑ, IL-8, IL-1ꞵ, IL-6, and IL-10. The results also showed their ability to enhance lipid synthesis, nitric oxide production, advanced glycation end-product, prostaglandin, SIRT3, homocysteine, protein kinase C, adhesion molecules, platelet aggregation, GLP-1, PYY, AGRP, PPARɑ/ꞵ/δ, GLUT4, and insulin receptor. Conclusions: Tropical nuts had beneficial effects on metabolic syndrome due to their bioactivities, including antioxidants, anti-inflammatory, anti-obesity, antidiabetic, antihypertensive, anti-dyslipidemia, and cardioprotective.

Abstract

This research aimed to evaluate the impact of sacha inchi tempe (Plukenetia volubilis L.) on Fasting Blood Glucose (FBG), Homeostatic Model Assessment for Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR), and Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha (TNF-ɑ) levels. In addition, metabolic syndrome was induced in 36 male Wistar rats aged 2 months at 150–200 g weight by giving a High-Fat High-Fructose diet (HFFD) for 2 weeks. The extract was administered through oral gavage in dose-dependent manner and rats were allocated into 6 groups, namely: 1). Normal control or K0; 2). Negative control or K-; 3). Positive control or K+ with 0.18 mg/200 g BB of simvastatin; 4). Intervention with 0.9 g sacha inchi tempe or P1; 5). Intervention with 1.8 g sacha inchi tempe or P2, and; 6). Intervention with 3.6 g sacha inchi tempe or P3. Meanwhile, normal chow rats were used and served as the control group. After 2 and 5 weeks of induction and intervention, blood was drawn to determine FBG. Blood insulin was examined after 5 week of intervention. Rats were euthanized at the end of the intervention for hepatic TNF-α analysis before calculating HOMA-IR. The result showed that there was a significant difference (p<0.05) in FBG, HOMA-IR and hepatic TNF-α levels after sacha inchi tempe treatment. Rats receiving the highest dose of sacha inchi tempe had the most significant reduction (p<0.05) in FBG, HOMA-IR and hepatic TNF-α, when compared to simvastatin group. Therefore, sacha inchi tempe could attenuate glycemic and inflammation profiles in metabolic syndrome.

Abstract

Metabolic syndrome is a condition caused by metabolic disorders such as overweight, obesity, physical inactivity, and genetic factors. Increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in metabolic syndrome causes oxidative stress, characterized by decreased antioxidant capacity, increased malondialdehyde (MDA), and decreased superoxide dismutase (SOD) enzymes. Sacha inchi has a high alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) content, tocopherols, and antioxidants that can help protect liver tissue from damage caused by oxidative stress in metabolic syndrome. This study aimed to evaluate how sacha inchi tempeh affects the levels of MDA, SOD enzyme, and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) in Wistar rats with metabolic syndrome induced by a high-fat high-fructose diet (HFFD). The study used a true experimental pre-and post-control group design on rats with the intervention of sacha inchi tempeh (0.9 g, 1.8 g, 3.6 g) for 5 weeks (35 days). The ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) method with the FineTest procedure was used to measure levels of TAC, MDA, and SOD enzymes. The results of paired T-tests showed a significant difference in TAC levels before and after the intervention in the intervention group compared to the healthy group (p<0.05). MDA and SOD enzyme levels in rat liver tissue also improved significantly (p<0.05). Compared to simvastatin medication therapy, sacha inchi tempeh at a dose of 3.6 g had the best results. Therefore, sacha inchi tempeh is beneficial as a nutraceutical meal in reducing oxidative stress in individuals suffering from metabolic syndrome.

Abstract

Metabolic syndrome is a condition caused by metabolic disorders such as overweight, obesity, lack of physical activity, and genetic factors. Increased ROS production in metabolic syndrome causes oxidative stress characterized by decreased antioxidant capacity, increased MDA, and decreased SOD enzymes. Sacha inchi has a high ALA content that can increase omega-3 levels, tocopherols, and antioxidants that can help protect liver tissue from damage caused by oxidative stress in metabolic syndrome.The purpose of this study was to look at how sacha inchi tempeh affected the levels of malondialdehyde, superoxide dismutase enzyme, and overall antioxidant capacity in rats with metabolic syndrome brought on by a diet high in fat and fructose. The method used in the research is an experiment with a pre-and post-control group design on Wistar strain white rats with metabolic syndrome induced by HFFD, with the intervention of sacha inchi tempe (0.9 g; 1.8 g; 3.6 g) for 5 weeks (35 days). The results of the study with paired T-tests were that there was a significant difference in TAC levels before and after the intervention in the intervention group with a p-value of <0.05 compared to the healthy group. MDA and SOD enzyme levels in rat liver tissue also were significant improvement with a p-value of <0.05. When compared to simvastatin medication therapy, sacha inchi tempeh at a dose of 3.6 g had the best results. Therefore, it is established that sacha inchi tempeh is beneficial as a nutraceutical meal in reducing oxidative stress in individuals suffering from metabolic syndrome.
