Abstract

Background: Grapes (Vitis vinifera) are a source of antioxidants with high content of polyphenols and anthocyanins. Grape skin is rich in flavonoids. Anthocyanins and flavonoids have the effect of lowering blood triglyceride levels. Purposes: This study aimed to determine the effect of using green grape extract (GGE) in lowering triglyceride levels in the blood. Methods: Five groups of white male rats (Rattus novergicus) were divided into a negative control group (KN), positive control (KP), rats with a GGE dose of 100 mg/200g BW as P1, rats with a GGE dose of 250mg/200g BW as P2, and rats with GGE dose of 500 mg/200g BW as P3. Each group was given a hypercholesterolemic diet for five weeks. Groups P1, P2, and P3 were given GGE according to their respective doses for 14 days, then measured triglyceride levels in the blood. Results: The results showed that GGE 500mg/200g BW significantly reduced triglyceride levels in all treated mice. Conclusion: These results indicate that GGE has a great potential to treat dyslipidemia by lowering triglyceride levels in the blood.

Abstract

Background: taeniasis is a zoonotic disease caused by Taenia spp. Human taeniasis caused by Taenia solium can be acquired after consumption of raw insufficiently cooked infected pork meat. Pigs are intermediate host for T.solium. Pigs acquired this infection by eating human feces that contained T.solium eggs. Pigs infected with T.solium can be transmitted to humans. Purposes: identification of T.solium in pig is important because it is indicator of T.solium transmission. Microscopic examination of T.solium eggs is considered less effective and efficient so that many other methods are developed for T.solium detection such as molecular and immunology. Method: This method used specific primer which can detect the Tso31 gene in T.solium. Tso31 gene is one of the most promising antigens to differentiate T.solium from T.saginata. Pig feces samples were taken by random sampling technique from 7 pig farms in Denpasar. Result: from the 30 samples, we found one sample that which gave a single amplification product of 234 bp. This indicates that the pig farms in Denpasar have been infected with T.solium. Conclusion: it is necessary to do meat inspection properly in the market as well as health education about the dangers and impacts of T.solium infection in the community.
