Abstract

Decreased levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and increased levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) are markers of oxidative stress and indicate obesity. Leunca fruit (Solanum Nigrum L) is a plant that contains antioxidants that can reduce the level of oxidative stress in obesity. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of leunca fruit administration on SOD and MDA levels in obese rats. This type of research is true experimental with a post-test-only research design where 30 male Sprague Dawley rats were divided into five groups consisting of 2 control groups K(-) and K(+) and three treatment groups (P1, P2, P3). Groups K+, P1, P2, and P3 were fed a high-fat and sucrose diet (21% lard, 34% sucrose). The K (-) control group is a group of healthy rats that only receive standard feed without being given leunca fruit. Group K (+) is a group of obese rats without leunca fruit. Leunca fruit was given for six weeks at a dose of 0.8g (P1), 1.6g (P2), and 2.4g (P3). Serum SOD levels were measured by ELISA method and MDA levels were measured by TBARS method. Statistical analysis using One Way Anova test. Administration of leunca fruit with graded doses can significantly increase SOD activity p=0.000 (p<0.05) and can significantly reduce MDA levels in obese rats in each treatment group p=0.000 (p<0.05). Leunca fruit with a dose of 2.4g/BB rat is the most effective dose to increase SOD levels and reduce MDA levels. The limitation of this study that there is no weighing of the remaining rat feed at each meal, so that the percentage of rat intake is was unknown.

Abstract

Background: Consumption of foods that are high in calories over a long period of time is a cause of obesity and can increase proinflammatory cytokines. Leunca fruit contains various phytochemicals that act as anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antiobesity but not many people utilize leunca fruit as daily food.Objective: To analyze the effect of leunca fruit on TNF-α and IL-6 levels in rats induced by high fat and sucrose diet (HFSD).Methods: The research design was Randomized Post Test Only Control Group Design. The sample was 30 male Sparague Dawley rats and divided into 5 groups, namely group K1 which was given standard feed, group K2 which was induced by HFSD, group P1 which was induced by HFSD and leunca 0.8g/200gBW, group P2 which was induced by HFSD and leunca 1.6g/200gBW, and group P3 which was induced by HFSD and leunca 2.4g/200gBW. The research was conducted at the Nutrition Laboratory of the Center for Food and Nutrition Studies of Gadjah Mada University (PSPG PAU UGM) Yogyakarta in January-March 2024. Testing TNF-α and IL-6 levels through rat blood serum using the ELISA method. Data were analyzed by ANOVA and Post Hoc test.Results: There was a significant difference in TNF-α and IL-6 levels between experimental groups (p=0.00). The levels of TNF-α and IL-6 in the P1, P2, and P3 groups that received HFSD + leunca were lower than in the K2 group that received HFSD only.Conclusion: Leunca fruit can reduce proinflammatory cytokine levels (TNF-α and IL-6) in HFSD-induced rats.

Abstract

Background: The prevalence of obesity and overweight is consistently rising. An increase in body mass index (BMI) above the normal range heightens the risk of chronic diseases, including musculoskeletal conditions such as lumbar degeneration and low back pain. The association between elevated BMI and postoperative lumbar pain remains debated. Objective: This study aims to assess the correlation between BMI and the improvement of postoperative lumbar pain. Methods: In this correlational study, 48 adults meeting specific inclusion and exclusion criteria were observed at a spine surgery clinic in Semarang, Central Java, Indonesia. BMI was calculated by dividing weight (kg) by height squared (m²). Pain levels were assessed using a visual analogue scale (VAS). The study controlled for variables such as age, gender, diabetes mellitus, osteoporosis, and type of surgery. Results: A positive correlation exists between increased BMI and elevated pain scale scores post-lumbar surgery in patients with lumbar degeneration (r = 0.654, p = 0.001). Additionally, the type of surgery and the presence of osteoporosis were found to correlate with pain levels. Conclusion: Patients with higher BMIs exhibited more pronounced postoperative pain compared to those with lower BMIs.
