Abstract

This study aims to determine the anthelmintic potency of the ethyl acetate fraction of berenuk fruit (Crescentia cujete L.) on the mortality of the Haemonchus contortus worms in vitro. The method that was used in the research was a post-test only control group design. There were five treatments and each treatment was carried out in four repetitions. The sample used was twenty H. contortus in each treatment for all replications. Observation and recording of H. contortus mortality was carried out at 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60 minutes, and when all worms in the petri dish died. Data analysis using ANOVA, followed by Duncan’s Test and Probit analysis. The results showed that the ethyl acetate fraction of berenuk fruit had anthelmintic activity. The conclusion in this study is that the optimal concentration is found in the 0.5% ethyl acetate fraction concentration, the LC50 at each observation time successively is 1.39%; 0.97%; 0.70%; 0.48%; 0.39%; 0.34%; 0.31%; 0.28%; 0.27%; 0.26%; 0.25%; and 0.24%, while LT50 at a concentration of 0.125%; 0.25%; and 0.5% respectively are 1 hour 17 seconds, 41 minutes 42 seconds, and 20 minutes 58 seconds.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of administration of ciplukan (Physalis angulate Linn.) leaf extract on the variables of testicular weight, seminiferous tubules diameter, and spermatozoa plasma membrane integrity of rats (Rattus norvegicus) exposed to heat as model animals. Rats were divided randomly into five groups. In the NC group, rats were not exposed to heat and were only given 1% Na-CMC. In the PC, T1, T2, and T3 rats were exposed to heat followed by administration of 1% Na-CMC, 100, 200, and 400 mg/kg bw of ciplukan leaf extract (CLE) in 1% Na-CMC. Heat exposure at 40°C was conducted for 60 minutes every day for 21 days. On day-22, all rats were sacrificed for testicular evaluation. The results showed that all variables in the PC group were lower (p <0.05) than in the NC group. All variables in the T3 group were higher (p <0.05) than in the PC group. Testicular weight and spermatozoa plasma membrane integrity in the T3 group were not significantly different (p >0.05) from the NC group. However, the diameter of the seminiferous tubules in the T3 group were lower (p <0.05) than in the NC group. This study revealed that the administration of ciplukan leaf extract as an antioxidant increased testicular weight, seminiferous tubules diameter, and spermatozoa with intact plasma membrane in rats exposed to heat.

Abstract

Lead is a harmful pollutant from engine exhaust that causes free radicals and has detrimental effects on the testicular tissue. This study aimed to determine the effects of tomato juice on the number of Leydig cells and the diameter of the seminiferous tubules of mice exposed to lead acetate. Twenty-five male mice were divided into five groups. Mice in the control (C-) group were given placebos. Meanwhile, mice in C+, T1, T2, and T3 groups were exposed to lead acetate at a dose of 100 mg/kg BW/day for 14 days and given tomato juice respectively at 0, 0.16, 0.32, and 0.64 mL/day from day 8 to day 35. On day 36, all mice were sacrificed, and the testes were collected for histological preparation. The result showed that lead exposure in the C+ group decreased (p <0.05) in the number of Leydig cells and the diameter of the seminiferous tubules compared to the mice in group C-. Administration of tomato juice in groups T1, T2, and T3 increased (p <0.05) the number of Leydig cells and the diameter of seminiferous tubule compared to the mice in the C+ and C- groups. However, tomato juice administration to the T3 group decreased the number of Leydig cells and the diameter of the seminiferous tubules (p <0.05) compared to the T2 group. In conclusion, an effective dose of 0.32 mL/day of tomato juice restored Leydig cell number and seminiferous tubules diameter in mice exposed to lead acetate.
