Abstract

Background: Inflammation is a response process to tissue injury and infection. The inflammatory response causes the release of pro-inflammatory mediators such as IL-1, IL-6 and TNF-α which are the main cytokines in the acute inflammatory response. Plants that have the potential to be anti-inflammatory are notika leaves (Archboldiodendron calosericeum Kobuski). Purpose: This research was conducted to evaluate the anti-inflammatory activity of the ethanol extract of notika leaves against the levels of Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha (TNF-α) in Wistar rats. Methods: The study used a post test only control group design. Rats were divided into five groups consisting of a positive control (diclofenac sodium), three extracts (100, 200 and 300 mg/kg BW) and Teeee carragenantrol gopre roups that are inlaporkan dari tanaman ketapang dalam spewa yang dilaporkan pada besar, dll --lar.negative control (NaCMC 0.5%). In vivo tests were carried out by induction of inflammatory using carragenan, administering preparations and measuring TNF-α levels using the ELISA method. Data were analyzed using the One Way ANOVA test. Results: The results showed that the mean levels of TNF-α in the positive control group (0.475 ng/L), negative control (0.816 ng/L), extract dose 100 mg/kgBW (0.67 ng/L), extract dose 200 mg/kgBW (0.7285 ng/L) and extract dosage of 300 mg/kgBW (0.7785 ng/L). Conclusion: The study concludes that the ethanol extract of notika leaves has anti-inflammatory activity against the levels of Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha (TNF-α) in Wistar rats based on the reduction in levels with negative control and optimum dose was 100 mg/kgBW.

Abstract

Background: Premenopausal is a period that women will experience before heading to the menopause phase in the age range of 4 5-55 years. In the premenopausal period it is characterized by the instability of the hormone estrogen which will affect lipid metabolism which is closely related to the increase in abdominal fat known as abdominal or central obesity. The instability of the hormone estrogen results in hormonal changes that affect the levels of lipids in the body such as TG and LDL-Chol levels in the blood. Purpose: This study aimed to determine whether there was a relationship between Waist Circumference (Abdomen) and Triglyceride and Low Density Lipoprotein-Cholesterol (LDL-C) Levels in Premenopausal Women. Methods: This study used an analytical correlative method with a cross-sectional study approach. This study involved 40 research subjects who met the criteria. Results: the pearson correlation test analysis determined the relationship between the abdominal waist circle and TG levels in premenopausal women, the results of the p value = 0.351 and the pearson correlation test value = 0.15 were obtained. In the correlation between waist circumference (abdomen) and LDL- Chol levels in premenopausal women, p-value = 0.164 with a pearson correlation value of 0.224 was obtained. Conclusion: There was no relationship between Waist Circumference (Abdomen) and Triglyceride and Low Density Lipoprotein-Cholesterol (LDL-C) Levels in Premenopausal Women.
