Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of ethanolic extract of gandaria fruit (Bouea macrophylla Griff.) on the lipid profile of male white rats (Rattus norvegicus L.) induced with carbon tetrachloride (CCl₄). The study highlights the potential hypolipidemic activity of the extract by measuring levels of total cholesterol, triglycerides, Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL), and High Density Lipoprotein (HDL). A Completely Randomized Design (CRD) was employed, involving 25 rats divided into five groups: negative control, positive control (CCl₄ without treatment), and three treatment groups administered the extract at doses of 100, 150, and 200 mg/kg body weight for 30 days. Data were analyzed using ANOVA followed by Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (DMRT) at a significance level of p < 0.05. The results showed that the 200 mg/kg dose significantly reduced levels of total cholesterol, triglycerides, and LDL, while the highest increase in HDL was observed at the 100 mg/kg dose. These findings also indicate that the ethanolic extract of Bouea macrophylla fruit exhibits dose-dependent hypolipidemic and antioxidant effects and has potential as a natural therapeutic candidate for improving lipid profile disorders caused by chemically induced liver damage.

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze variations in sulfur oxide (SO₂), nitrogen oxide (NO₂), and carbon monoxide (CO) concentrations at eight major intersections in Palembang City.This study analyzed ambient air quality at eight major traffic nodes in Palembang City using SO₂, NO₂, and CO parameters. Measurements were carried out at a height of 2–3 meters according to US-EPA and WHO standards. SO₂ was determined using the West–Gaeke method, NO₂ with the Griess–Saltzman and chemiluminescence analyzer, while CO was measured using the Non-Dispersive Infrared (NDIR) method. All procedures were accompanied by recording of meteorological factors and instrument quality control. The results showed a significant difference between morning and afternoon, with higher average concentrations in the afternoon (SO₂: p = 0.014; NO₂: p = 0.000; CO: p = 0.003), which was influenced by traffic density and meteorological conditions. Pollutant concentrations tended to increase during rush hour at intersections with high vehicle flow. In contrast, inter-location analysis showed variations in pollutant concentrations, but they were not statistically significant (p > 0.05), indicating a relatively homogeneous distribution of traffic emissions in urban areas. Exposure to SO₂, NO₂, and CO has the potential to cause serious health impacts, including respiratory and cardiovascular disorders, as well as liver dysfunction due to oxidative stress and hypoxia. These findings emphasize the need for continuous air quality monitoring and transportation emission control policies in Palembang.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of differences in growing places altitude on the diversity of biochemical characters (glucose, vitamin C, and folic acid) of three banana cultivars (Musa acuminata (AAA)/ambon, Musa balbisiana (BBB)/kepok, and Musa paradisiaca (AAB)/raja) grown in Boyolali Regency. The study was conducted at three growing places altitudes: Kemusu (123 masl), Musuk (667 masl), and Gladagsari (806 masl). Biochemical content data were tested quantitatively using UV-Vis spectrophotometry and a refractometer, with five replications per location, then analyzed using ANOVA. The results showed significant variation between cultivars and locations in terms of vitamin C and folic acid levels, with the Musa balbisiana (BBB)/kepok cultivar in Musuk having the highest vitamin C content. Furthermore, environmental factors such as light intensity and temperature significantly influenced the variation in biochemical content. This study strengthens the understanding of the interaction between genotype and environmental factors (G × E interaction) in shaping the nutritional quality of bananas. In conclusion, the selection of appropriate cultivars and planting locations can optimize the nutritional value of bananas.
