Abstract

Introduction: Continuous Multi Stage Countercurrent Extraction Process (CMCE) propolis extract containing Caffeic Acid Phenethyl Ester (CAPE) may inhibit the formation of lipid peroxidation. However, it is still unclear whether or not CMCE propolis is able to increase SOD activity and reduce acute hepatocytes damages induced by CCl4. Objective: To evaluate the influence of CMCE propolis extract administration in increasing the SOD activity and reducing the hepatocytes fibrosis of male Wistar rats induced with CCl4.Method: an experimental research with a post-test only control group design. Twenty eight male Wistar rats were divided into four groups. Group C-N was only induced with CCl4, while group CM-3, CM-7, and CM-14 were induced with CCl4 and received CMCE propolis extract respectively with 3.6 mg/200 g BW, 7.2 mg/200 g BW, and 14.4 mg/200 g BW. CMCE propolis was administered for 14 days and then CCl4 was administered on the last day. SOD activity was measured using the colorimetric method, while the hepatocytes fibrosis degree was assessed using Image J Software method with NASH score modification.Results: Post Hoc LSD analysis indicated that SOD activity in group CM-3 (51.67 ± 4.20), CM-7 (70.21 ± 6.26), CM-14 (80.85 ± 4.59) was lower than that in group C-N (23.70 ± 5.12) with P <0.05. Meanwhile, the Mann-Whitney U test showed that the hepatocytes fibrosis degree in group CM-3 (0.85 ± 0.69), CM-7 (1.14 ± 0.37), and CM-14 (0.71 ± 0.48) was significantly lower than that in group C-N (2.28 ± 1.25) with p<0.05.Conclusion: The CMCE propolis extract administration was able to increase the SOD activity and reduce the hepatocytes fibrosis degree of male Wistar rats induced with CCl4

Abstract

Introduction: Carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) is a hepatotoxic substance inducing inflammation in liver cells. Inflammation is marked by increase in proinflammatory cytokines level such as tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), and C-reactive protein (CRP) produced by hepatocytes. Propolis extracted using continuous multi-stage countercurrent Extraction (CMCE propolis extract) contains active balsamic, caffeic acid phenetyl ester (CAPE), and flavonoids capable of affecting pro-inflammatory cytokines. Objective: to investigate the effect of CMCE propolis extract on TNF-α and CRP levels in CCl4-induced liver damage.Methods: In this study using a post test only control group design, 28 male Wistar rats were divided into four groups. The control group (C-G) was given CCl4 0.4 ml/200 g on day 14. The P3-G, P7-G, P14-G groups were treated with 3.6 mg/200 g, 7.2 mg/200 g, 14.4 mg/200 g CMCE propolis extract for 14 days and given CCl4 0.4 ml/g on day 14. The TNF-α and CRP levels were assessed using the ELISA kit one-way ANOVA and Post Hoc test (LSD) were applied for the statistical analysis. Results: TNF-α level in P14-G group (3.26 ± 0.93), P7-G (6.17+0.78), and P3-G (10.4±1.34) were significantly lower than that of C-G (17.29+1.56) (p<0.05). CRP levels in P14-G group (0.61±0.09), P7-G (1.38+0.48), and P3-G (12.01±0.65) were significantly lower than those of C-G (2.95+0.668) (p<0.05). The greatest reduction in TNF-α & CRP level was found in the group given propolis at a dose of 14.4 mg/200 g.Conclusion: The administration of CMCE propolis extract reduces TNF-α & CRP levels in CCl4-induced liver damage.
