Abstract

Through mosquito bites, parasites of the genus Plasmodium spread the disease known as malaria. Malaria-carrying mosquitoes of the genus Anopheles sp. One secure method of controlling the Anopheles sp. mosquito population is biological mosquito control. Since the biological method does not use chemicals but rather the phytochemicals found in plants, one of which contains compounds from the male breadfruit flower and is capable of acting as a vegetable larvicide or mosquito repellent. The aims of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of electric mosquito mats that contain male breadfruit flowers to kill or cause mosquitoes (Anopheles sp.) to die. A completely randomized design (CRD) was used for the experiment. The results showed a change in the mortality of Anopheles sp. mosquito larvae. After exposure to breadfruit flower mat doses of 0.5gr, 1gr, 1.5gr, 2gr compared to no administration. Thus, it was concluded that male breadfruit flower mats with concentrations of 0.5gr, 1gr, 1.5gr, and 2gr had an insecticidal effect on the mortality of Anopheles sp. mosquitoes. with an effective concentration of 2gr (96.5% mortality), of which 50% mortality (LC50) of Anopheles sp. larvae. Occurred at a concentration of ethanol extract of male breadfruit flowers dose 0.36gr.

Abstract

Kebar grass is a plant that contains phytoestrogens which have the same effect as endogenous estrogens which are thought to be able to increase endogenous estrogen levels in the blood due to the adverse effects of free radicals in the form of cigarette smoke. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the ethanol extract of kebar grass (Biophytum petersianum Klotzsch) on the length of the estrous cycle of Rattus norvegicus rats exposed to cigarette smoke. The research used an experimental method, namely a completely randomized design with four treatment groups and three replications. Rats the negative group was fed normally, the positive control group was exposed to cigarette smoke for 28 days, while the rats in the Kebar grass ethanol extract dosed group were given cigarette smoke exposure for 28 days, and were gived Kebar grass ethanol extract for 28 days. Vaginal smears were taken in the morning with a span of 24 hours for 28 days. Changes in the vaginal epithelium are examined to determine the phase of the estrous cycle using a microscope. The data obtained were analyzed by Analysis of Variance (ANOVA)-SPSS version 16.0 followed by Duncan test with a 95% confidence interval (α=0.05). The results showed that administration of Kebar grass ethanol extract was able to extend the estrous cycle time at a dose of 0.135 mg/head/day due to prolongation of the proestrus and estrus phases.

Abstract

This research aimed to study on the microscopic changes of number leydig cells and sertoli cells. A factorial CRD with periode of treatment and sample collection was applied in this study. An exposure of cigarette smoke was carried out at 10 cigarettes/rat/day for 2.5 hours in a smoking chamber. Extract kebar’s grass given was 0.0945 mg/g body weight/day. Twenty seven (27) of male rats were divided into four groups. N group was untreated animals, 20h group is group that was expose to cigarette smoke for 20 days then given administration extract kebar’s grass for 20 days and stopping treatment for 20 days and 60h group is group that was expose to cigarette smoke for 60 days then given administration extract kebar’s grass 60 days and stopping treatment for 60 days. Data collection was carried out at twice that after cigarette smoke exposure (T0), second after administration extract kebar’s grass (T1) and third after stopping treatment (T2). The parameters measured were the number of leydig cells and sertoli cells. That increasing number leydig cells and sertoli cells of rat exposed to cigarette smoke after gived seaweed extract kebar’s grass for 20 days and

Abstract

This study used a completely randomized design with a sample of 525 Anopheles sp. larvae. which were divided into 7 groups and 3 replicates, which contained 25 Anopheles spper larvae. Except for the control, each group was given clove leaf infusion starting from a concentration of 0.50%, 1%, 2%, 4% and 6%, where the treatment was carried out for 24 hours. The results showed that there was a larvicidal effect of brewing clove leaves (Syzygium aromaticum L.) on the mortality of Anopheles sp mosquito larvae, where the effective concentration was 6% and had an LC50 value in killing Anopheles sp larvae of 0.89%. The overall phytochemical content of clove leaves which has a fast response to the mortality of Anopheles sp. are saponins, flavonoids and tannins which are capable of acting as larvicides through the mechanism of damaging cell membranes or interfering with larval metabolic processes. The content of saponins, flavonoids and tannins can increase the mortality of Aedes aegypti L. larvae through the mechanism of damaging cell membranes or interfering with larval metabolic processes as stomach poisoning.
