Abstract

Free radicals released from metabolism processes in the body were reactive and toxic to cells and tissues because it cause protein, cell membrane and nucleic acid damages which lead to cancer. It could be overcame if antioxidant system in the body is in good function.Nevertheles antioxidant system could be destructed by variety of conditions. Modern lifestyle that frequently consumed of high saturated fat, additives, and low fiber content in foods were potential risk for cancer and hypercholesterolemia. To overcome that risks with specific drugs were high cost. Therefore this research was conducted to take advantages of natural sources which potential for antioxidant and antihypercholesterolemia activities that could be fast, easy and inexpensive processing. One of the natural sources that meet the criteria was angkak resulted from rice fermented by Monascus purpureus. The result revealed that angkak contained lovastatin showed antioxidant and antihypercholesterolemia activities and increased glutathion peroxidase activity of optimal dose 5 g/day. The histopathologi observation of rat’s liver showed that administered of angkak on rats feed high level of cholesterol inhibited accumulation of fat in rat’s liver.

Abstract

The trace element Selenium is toxic at high concentration.Most of organisms living in selenium rich environment are selenium resistant.One of the resistance mechanisms is methylation,in which selenium is methylated and transformed to non-toxic selenium compound.The methylation is catalyzed by seleno methyltransferase (SMT) coded by smt gene. The gene are expressed by selenium tolerant plants. However, there was no available report yet on such specific gene in the bacterial genome. This study was carried out to determine smt homologous gene on selected selenium accumulator bacteria, Geobacillus sp. 20k, The smt gene of was determined by amplifying target DNA and analyses its sequences through homology search (BLAST). The result showed that the DNA and its protein part of thermophilic enzyme involved selenium metabolisms.
