Serum bilirubin measurement method using a spectrophotometer, the bilirubin level is expressed in mg / dl. Data were analyzed using Kruskal-Wallis method shows that there was a significant difference between the treatment groups (p <0.05), while between the time measurements showed no significant difference. A combination of ethanol extract of papaya dose of 120 mg / 200 g BW rat, and the ethanol extract of mangosteen peel dose of 160 mg / 200 g rat BW the most effective of all treatment groups in lowering levels of bilirubin in isoniazid and rifampicin induced rat.]]>
