Abstract

This study evaluated the anti-obesity effects of Dayak onion (Eleutherine palmifolia) extract in MSG-induced obese mice. Twenty-five male mice were divided into five groups: negative control (CMC-Na), positive control (MSG, 4 mg/g BW), and three groups receiving MSG plus Dayak onion extract at 30, 60, or 120 mg/kg BW for 52 days. Body weight was measured weekly, and abdominal fat (retroperitoneal, epididymal, peritoneal) was weighed using a digital scale on day 53. One-way ANOVA with Duncan’s post hoc test analyzed differences (p<0.05). MSG increased body weight (40.8 ± 1.1 g) and fat compared to the negative control (31.2 ± 0.5 g). Dayak onion extract dose-dependently reduced body weight (T1: 38.2 ± 0.6 g; T2: 36.0 ± 0.9 g; T3: 32.3 ± 0.6 g) and fat, with the 120 mg/kg dose nearing control levels. Flavonoids and anthraquinones in the extract likely drive these effects, suggesting Dayak onion’s potential as a natural anti-obesity agent. Human studies are needed to confirm these findings.

Abstract

This study investigated the hepatoprotective effects of green tea extract (GTE) against cigarette smoke-induced liver damage in mice. Twenty-five male mice (Mus musculus) were divided into five groups: negative control (C-), positive control exposed to cigarette smoke (C+), and three experimental groups exposed to cigarette smoke and treated with different doses of GTE: 20 mg/kg BW (T1), 40 mg/kg BW (T2), and 60 mg/kg BW (T3). Following 36 days of treatment, serum SGOT and SGPT levels were measured as biomarkers of hepatocellular injury. Results showed significant elevation of both enzymes in the C+ group (SGOT: 50.46 ± 2.49 U/L; SGPT: 19.48 ± 1.47 U/L) compared to the C- group (SGOT: 35.10 ± 2.49 U/L; SGPT: 10.22 ± 1.68 U/L), indicating cigarette smoke-induced hepatotoxicity. GTE administration demonstrated dose-dependent hepatoprotection, with the highest dose (T3) showing the most substantial effect (SGOT: 38.26 ± 1.25 U/L; SGPT: 11.01 ± 1.05 U/L). Statistical analysis revealed significant differences between groups (p<0.05). The hepatoprotective mechanisms of GTE likely involve its potent antioxidant properties, enhancement of endogenous antioxidant systems, anti-inflammatory effects, modulation of xenobiotic metabolism, and mitochondrial protection. These findings suggest that green tea extract may serve as a promising natural hepatoprotective agent against cigarette smoke-induced liver injury, with potential applications in preventive healthcare strategies.
