Abstract

The study was to evaluate the subchronic toxicity of aqueous extract of Physalis minima leaves in female rats. Eighteen female Wistar rats were orally administered with aqueous extract of P. minima leaves at doses of 90, 270 and 450 mg/kg BW, respectively for 90 days. Six female rats without any treatment were provided as a control group. At the end of the experiment, blood samples were collected for hematological and biochemical (aspartate transaminase/AST, alanine transaminase/ALT, creatinine, urea, glucose, cholesterol, and triglyceride) analyses. The results showed that hematological and biochemical biomarkers were not significantly different in treated groups compared to the control group. It is concluded that the aqueous extract of P. minima leaves do not induce hematologic toxicity, hepatotoxicity and renal toxicity in the subchronic toxicity study.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of histatin-1 protein increasing the concentration of fibroblast growth factor (FGF2) and fibroblast cell migration in human gingival fibroblast (HGF) culture. The HGF cell culture used was obtained from odontectomy patients and was the result of the 4th passage. Cell culture was divided into 4 groups: HGF control group (without treatment) and treatment groups with 5µM, 10µM, and 20µM concentration of histatin-1 respectively. The amount of fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2) was quantified by using ELISA method. In vitro fibroblast cells migration was measured using scratch/wound healing assay method. FGF2 concentration and HGF cell migration were measured at hour 0, 3, 11, 24, and 48. The results of the One Way Anova statistical test difference between FGF 2 (ΔFGF2) at hour 24 showed a value of P = 0.042 (P≤0.05) and HGF cell migration at hour 11 showed a P value = 0.003 (P≤0.05). The conclusion of this study is that Histatin-1 Protein is able to increase the concentration of Fibroblast Growth Factor 2 (FGF2) and the migration of Human Gingival Fibroblast cells.
