Abstract

Dyslipidemia is a condition characterized by abnormal lipid levels in the blood, including total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and triglycerides. This condition can lead to complications such as cardiovascular diseases and stroke. The purpose of this study is to explore the potential of herbal plants from the Sasak tribe, as recorded in Lontar Usada, for managing dyslipidemia. Lontar Usada documents various medicinal plants that are traditionally used by the Sasak people, making it essential to investigate their active compounds and how they influence lipid profiles. This research employs a qualitative approach, focusing on a literature review and analysis of the plants mentioned in Lontar Usada, followed by a biochemical evaluation of their active compounds and mechanisms in regulating lipid metabolism. The findings reveal that several plants listed in Lontar Usada contain bioactive compounds with potential lipid-lowering effects, supporting their traditional use in managing dyslipidemia. In conclusion, the study confirms that the plants from Lontar Usada could offer a natural alternative for dyslipidemia management, aligning with the high cultural acceptance and availability of these plants within the Sasak community.

Abstract

Hepatic cirrhosis is a chronic liver disease characterized by fibrosis and regeneration of nodules in the liver, which if it occurs for a long time, hepatocyte cells will be damaged so that they cannot function again, potentially threatening life. The prevalence of incidence and mortality depends on the progression of hepatic cirrhosis, which is influenced by the patient's etiology and treatment. The purpose of writing this article is to provide new insight into the importance of understanding the risk factor and causes of hepatic cirrhosis. This study uses a literature review approach by collecting data from online databases including Google Scholar, ProQuest, MDPI, and PubMed to search for articles discussing “Hepatic Cirrhosis”. Early detection based on clinical manifestations and appropriate treatment can reduce mortality and prevent complications that may worsen the patients condition.
