Abstract

Abstract: Hypertension is a condition of chronic high blood pressure in the systemic arteries which is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease, kidney disorders, and death. There are two types of hypertension, the primary hypertension is thought to be caused by hereditary factors, age, gender, race, and an unhealthy lifestyle. Secondary hypertension is caused by an obvious cause. The prevalence of hypertension in Indonesia is quite high with the highest incidence rate in South Kalimantan (44,1%) and the lowest in Papua (22,2%). The pathophysiology of hypertension involves the enzyme Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) which plays a role in regulating blood pressure. The process of converting Angiotensinogen to Angiotensin I, then Angiotensin II by ACE can cause vasoconstriction and fluid retention, which contribute to hypertension. The changes in circulation and blood vessel structure have played a role in the risk of hypertension complications, including stroke. The marine organisms such as fish, shellfish, cephalopods, seaweed, and algae contain peptides with antihypertensive, anticoagulant, antithrombotic, and hypercholesterolemic activities. For example, hydrolyzate of the jellyfish, Rhopilema esculentum can inhibit ACE with a high level of effectiveness. The current hypertension treatment often uses synthetic drugs such as ACE inhibitors and Angiotensin Receptor Blockers (ARBs), but these have undesirable side effects. Therefore, bioactive peptides from marine organisms can be an efficient and safe natural alternative. The research on protein hydrolysates from various sources has found ACE inhibitory activity and several peptides such as Trp-Pro-Met-Gly-Phe (WPMGF) and APP, KPLL, and VYPFPGPIPNSLPQNIPP were identified to have strong ACE inhibitory activity. These findings indicate the potential use of bioactive peptides from marine organisms as a natural alternative for the treatment and prevention of hypertension.

Abstract

Ghost crabs are one of the arthropod animals that live in coastal ecosystems and are one of the key species that have a very important role in maintaining ecological balance. Here the author refers to the abundance of ghost crabs and the types of food eaten by ghost crabs, this is because there are still many who do not know about the types of ghost crab hands and the abundance of ghost crab hands and the abundance of ghost crabs on an east aceh beach. The type of research used was quantitative research with a random sampling method which was carried out on November 25 2023. From the results of this crab density research, there were 100 individuals with a translation size of 254M and a density index of 1,96 D at 40 54’’ 9’ N 970 51’’ 2’ T. Aceh Regency Timur, the types of food for ghost crabs are Zooplankton, Phytoplankton and Bacterioplankton. The conclusion of this research is that the existence of this crab population is greatly influenced by the condition of the beach which is its habitat. Natural beaches usually find many ghost crabs because the food chain process is still maintained.

Abstract

Rice bran is a common poultry feed ingredients. However, its use is limited due to its high fiber content and low phosphorus content. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of feeding a fermented mixture of rice bran and PSW (RPSW) on the growth performances and carcass of KUB chicken. A mixture of two parts of rice bran and one part of PSH was fermented using rumen liquor for 5 days. Two hundred two-week-old KUB chickens were randomly allocated into four dietary treatments with different levels of fermented RPSW i.e.; 0, 10, 20, and 30% for treatments 1, 2, 3, and 4 respectively. Feed was provided ad libitum for ten-week observation period, and drinking water was always available. At the end of the feeding trial, chickens were slaughtered to measure carcasses and their components. The results showed that there were no significant differences in feed consumption and carcass percentage between treatments, but the final body weight, body weight gain, carcass weight, and organ weight of chickens fed rations containing 20 and 30% fermented RPSH were lower than those fed rations containing 20 and 30% fermented RPSH. 30% fermented RPSH. The control or ration was fed a ration containing 10% fermented RPSH. The results indicate that a fermented blend of rice bran and protein from slaughtered house waste incubated with rumen liquor for 5 days can be included in the KUB chicken diet up to 10%.

Abstract

Hypogonadism is a condition where the function of the gonad glands decreases, resulting in a decrease in hormone levels due to the hypothalamus-pituitary-gonad (HPG) axis. Hypogonadism occurs in approximately 2.1% – 12.8% of the middle-aged to older male population. This article was written to find out more about explaining the pathophysiology and clinical symptoms of hypogonadism. The method used is literature reflection combined with related search sources from the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), Google Scholar, and Research Gate. The results of a literature review of articles carried out can conclude that hypogonadism often causes symptoms of delayed puberty, loss of libido, erectile dysfunction, loss of muscle mass, and depression. Hypogonadism is also classified based on the reason into primary and secondary hypogonadism. Primary hypogonadism occurs due to gonadal dysfunction, while secondary hypogonadism occurs due to dysfunction of the hypothalamus and/or pituitary gland.
