Abstract

Acute lung injury tends to be induced by infection or sepsis that disrupt alveolar and vascular permeability, neutrophil influx, and edema. Those impairments are worsened by the increase of oxidative stress along with hyperinflammation response. Oxidative stress in lung tissue could be indicated by malondialdehyde (MDA) and nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) expression. This research aimed to evaluate the efficacy of Baby Java citrus peel extract (BJE) in suppressing oxidative stress and preventing lung injury in lipopolysaccharides (LPS)-induced mice. Twenty-five male BALB/c mice were divided into five groups consisting of untreated (N), LPS (A), and LPS-induced followed by treatment using BJE at various doses: 75 mg/kg BW (BJE-1), 105 mg/kg BW (BJE-2), and 150 mg/kg BW (BJE-3). Lungs were isolated for histopathological analysis also detection of MDA and Nrf2 using flow cytometry. BJE at the dose of 105 mg/kg BW could inhibit the alteration of lung histology following LPS challenge including alveolar and interstitial neutrophil infiltration, proteinaceous debris, and septal thickening. The same dose also showed good potency in suppressing MDA and Nrf2 levels as oxidative stress indicators. Our findings demonstrated protective effects of Baby Java citrus peel in acute lung injury and oxidative stress prevention after LPS exposure.

Abstract

This study aims to analyse the protective effect of aqueous extract of basil leaves (Ocimum sanctum) on the sperm quality of monosodium glutamate (MSG)-induced mice. This study used 30 male mice (aged 4-5 weeks old and weighing 25-35 grams), which were then randomly divided into five groups: P0 (healthy male mice), P1 (male mice induced with 4mg/kg BW MSG), P2, P3, P4 (male mice induced with MSG and given aqueous extract of basil leaves (O. sanctum) 300mg/kgBB, 500mg/kgBB, 700mg/kgBB for 14 days). At the end of treatment, all mice will be sacrificed and cauda epididymis was isolated. The obtained semen was analysed for sperm quality, including motility, viability, concentration, and spermatozoa abnormalities. Data analysis used one-way ANOVA and continued with the Duncan test using SPSS for Windows. In this study, the administration of 700mg/kg BW aqueous extract of basil leaves (O. sanctum) could improve sperm quality by increasing motility, viability, and concentration of sperm and also alter the sperm abnormality of MSG-induced mice.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the potential of water clover (M. crenata), curcuma (C. xanthorriza), and the combination of both extracts in order to improve the sperm quality of mice after MSG administration. This study used 35 Balb/C male mice (3 months old, 25-30 grams body weight (BW)). The animals randomly divided into 7 treatment groups, namely K0 (the group given MSG 4 mg/gBW), K1 (the group given MSG 4 mg/gBW and M. crenata 0.09 mg/gBW), K3 (the group given MSG 4 mg/gBW and C. xanthorriza 0.2 mg/gBW), K4 (the group that was given MSG 4 mg/gBW and a combination of M. crenata extract 0.045 mg/gBW and C. xanthorriza 0.1 mg/gBW), K5 (the group given M. crenata 0.09 mg/gBW), and K6 (the group given C. xanthorriza 0.2 mg/gBW). MSG and all extracts are given orally and daily for 30 days. The observed parameters were sperm’s motility, viability, and concentration. The data are analyzed using SPSS for windows with a One-way ANOVA test (p≤0.05) and Tukey HSD test. The administration of water clover, curcuma, and the combination of both extracts can significantly improve the sperm quality in mice exposed by MSG. The administration of single and combination extract can improve the motility, viability, and concentration of the sperm in treatment groups with the extract. In conclusion, the combination of water clover and curcuma ethanol extract significantly improved sperm quality.

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder characterized by high blood glucose (hyperglycemia). Hyperglycemia will cause the body to undergo physiological changes such as free radical, antioxidant and inflammation alteration. This research aims to compare the profile of free radicals, endogenous antioxidants, and cytokines in mouse models of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Mice were separated into two different groups, normal and diabetic mice groups. The normal group was a group of mice that were not induced to have diabetic conditions, while the diabetic mice group was induced to be diabetic using streptozotocin injection. Blood glucose levels were checked every three days for 14 days, while the immune response was evaluated after 14 days using flow cytometry. Data analysis was done using SPSS software with t-test analysis. This research showed that the increasing ROS represented by MDA would trigger inflammation in T1DM represented by the increasing TNF-alpha along with IFN-gamma and reducing anti-inflammatory cytokines represented by IL-10. Interestingly, SOD expression, which is an endogenous antioxidant, is also increased in the diabetic mice group, and we conclude that it is some sort of adaptive response of the diabetic mice group against the increasing ROS.

Abstract

Cyprinus carpio is a freshwater species with high reproduction and adaptability. These factors make C. carpio being the freshwater fish that majority distributed and has high commercial value in some countries, including Indonesia. The maturation phase of male and female fish gonads does not occur simultaneously. Thus, sperm preservation could be an alternative technique to maintain the breeding process throughout the year. This research aims to determine the effect of storage time on C. carpio sperm quality strain Punten in NaCl solution-coconut water (Cocos nucifera L.). This study used common carp (C. carpio) 8 months of age with 500 g.bw-1. The C. carpio semen sample was divided into four treatment groups (0, 3, 6, and 9-hour storage time). The extender used in this research was composed of coconut water (C. nucifera L.) and NaCl solution with a ratio of 70% : 30%. The samples were stored in a refrigerator at 5oC. Fresh sperm sample was analyzed macroscopically using various parameters, such as pH, volume, color, and consistency. Meanwhile, the post-preserved sperm quality sample was analyzed microscopically (motility, viability, concentration, and abnormality). Furthermore, we also obtained the fertilization rate and hatching rate. The result showed that storage time affects the reduction of C. carpio sperm quality significantly (p<0.05). The highest sperm viability was obtained in NaCl solution-Cocos nucifera with a 3-hour storage time (78.33%±5.49). Our study found that the storage time significantly affected the sperm quality of C. carpio that was given with C. nucifera extender. Adding C. nucifera with 3,6,9 hour storage time also increases the fertilization and hatching rate compared with the group without C. nucifera. It can be shown that the addition of C. nucifera as a natural extender has the essential role of maintaining C. carpio sperm quality after a short storage period.
