Abstract

Background: Vitamin D deficiency is frequently correlated with elevated malondialdehyde (MDA) levels and decreased superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity. Several studies have demonstrated that vitamin D3 can reverse intracellular oxidative stress. However, vitamin D is prone to deterioration and instability. Liprotides contain lipids and proteins that can prevent vitamin D from oxidating.Objective: This study aims to investigate the effects of liprotide-encapsulated vitamin D3 on MDA concentrations and SOD activity in calcium and vitamin D-deficient rat models.Methods: The experimental post-test-only control group study used 24 Wistar rats randomly in 4 groups. Groups K(-), K(+), and P were fed a vitamin D and calcium-depleted AIN-93M diet for 14 days. Standard feed AIN-93M was received by normal groups (KN). Groups K- were deficient rats in vitamin D and calcium without intervention. The groups of  K+ and P were given vitamin D3 (180 IU) which was non-encapsulated and liprotide-encapsulated for 28 days.The SOD activity was quantified with Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) Activity Assay Kit, while MDA levels were determined using Thiobarbituric Acid Reactive Substance (TBARS) method. The statistical analysis used One-way ANOVA test with Least Significant Difference follow-up test.Results: The MDA levels and SOD activity in the K+ and P groups had significant differences (p<0.05) against the control group. Liprotides-encapsulated vitamin D3 significantly reduced MDA levels and enhanced SOD activity compared to non-encapsulated in rats with a deficiency in vitamin D and calcium.Conclusion: Liprotide-encapsulated vitamin D3 has the potential to increase SOD activity and decrease MDA levels.

Abstract

Background: Associated with sepsis is the illness known as acute kidney injury (AKI). AKI may be mediated by uric acid, and blood creatinine levels can be utilized to diagnose the condition to measure kidney function. Sambiloto (Andrographis paniculata) is a traditional medicine that has flavonoid compounds that can reduce creatinine levels and Xanthine Oxidase Inhibitors which can reduce uric acid levels.Objective: Septic model rats generated by lipopolysaccharide were used to test the effects of sambiloto (Andrographis paniculata) leaf extract on serum creatinine and uric acid levels (LPS).Methods: This study was experimental employing 25 rats split into 5 groups as the post-test alone control group: healthy control with standard feed (HC), negative control with LPS injection(NC), Treatment (T)1 (A.Paniculata 200 mg/kgBW+LPS), T2(A.paniculata 400 mg/kgBW+LPS), and T3(A.paniculata 500mg/kgBW+ LPS). A.paniculata leaf extract was given via oral gavage on day 8-21. Intraperitoneal injection of LPS 5 mg/kgBW was given on day 22. On the 25th day, the blood serum was analyzed for creatinine levels using Jaffe method and uric acid was analyzed using the enzymatic photometric method. One-way analysis of variance (Kruskal-Wallis) and the Kruskal-Wallis test were used to evaluate the data.Results: The mean creatinine levels of HC,NC,T1,T2,T3 were 0.7±0.01;3.5±0.04;2.9±0.03;1.9±0.05; 1.3 ±0.04 mg/dl respectively. The mean uric acid levels of HC.NC.T1.T2.T3 were 1.7±0.05;8.2±0.11; 4.5±0.03;4.0±0.12;3.0±0.19 mg/dl respectively. There were significant differences (p<0.05) in creatinine levels in groups T2(p=0.031) and T3(p=0.001) to NC group and serum uric acid levels in groups T1(p<0.001), T2(p<0.001), and T3(p<0.001) to NC group which creatinine and uric acid levels were lower than NC group.Conclusion: Andrographis paniculata leaf extract has renoprotective effect against AKI in LPS-induced septic ratsKeywords: Andrographis paniculata, creatinine, uric acid, lipopolysaccharide, AKI, sepsis

Abstract

Background: Tempeh is a fermented soybean containing isoflavones that shows good benefits again obesity. Co-fermentation of tempeh using  Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG could increase the bioavailability of isoflavones.Objective: This study aimed to determine the effect of co-fermented tempeh using Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (tLGG) on body weight (B.W.), Lee Index, high sensitivity C Reactive Protein (hs-CRP), and lipid profile of obese rats. Total flavonoid and genistein were also measured.Methods: Male Sprague Dawley rats (n=36, 200-to-215-gram, age eight weeks) were orally administered high fat and high sucrose diet (HFHS diet) for two weeks to induce obesity. After obesity was confirmed by checking Lee Index, rats were divided into six group and administered orally standard diet (normal control), HFHS diet (negative control), HFHS diet and 120 mg/kg B.W./day-orlistat (positive control), HFHS diet and 60 mg/kg B.W./day standard tempeh  with Rhizopus oligosporus (tS), HFHS diet and 60 mg/kg B.W./day tLGG, HFHS diet and 120 mg/kg B.W./day tLGG for four weeks. Body weight, Lee Index, hs-CRP, and lipid profile were analyzed. Total flavonoid and genistein were analyzed.Results: 120 mg/kg B.W./day tLGG group exhibited significantly lower body weight gains, Lee Index, hs-CRP, triglyceride, total cholesterol, LDL, and higher HDL compared to negative control and tS group (p<0,001), however, positive control group exhibited lower body weight gains compared to tLGG group (p<0,001). Nevertheless, tLGG group exhibited lower Lee Index compared to positive control group.   tLGG showed higher flavonoid and genistein level than tS.Conclusion: Administration of 120 mg/kg B.W./day tLGG showed significantly lower Lee Index compared to all groups given HFHS diet, however, positive control group showed lower body weight gains compared to tLGG group. tLGG also improved hs-CRP and lipid profile two times better than negative control group. tLGG increased total flavonoids and genistein level.

Abstract

Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is an endocrine disorder that often occurs in women of reproductive age. The main therapy currently used to treat PCOS patients is insulin sensitizer. In PCOS, there is an imbalance in the intestinal flora which causes activation of the immune system and an inflammatory response that leads to insulin resistance. The effect of probiotic supplementation on insulin resistance can have an impact on changes in reproductive hormone levels in PCOS women. Objective: Analyze the effect of probiotic supplementation on levels of FSH, LH, and folliculogenesis in a study of PCOS Wistar rats. Methods: Experimental research with a post-test only controlled group design. The research sample was 35 Wistar rats which were divided into 5 groups, (K-) were healthy rats, (K+) were PCOS rats without treatment, (P1) were PCOS rats received Metformin, (P2) were PCOS rats received Probiotics, and (P3) were PCOS rats that received Metformin + Probiotics. The intervention was carried out for 14 days. The dependent variables were levels of FSH, LH and folliculogenesis. Research data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA test, Fisher Exact test. Differences between groups and controls were tested with Dunnett's post hoc test. Significant p<0.05Results: Metformin + probiotic supplementation resulted in increased FSH levels, decreased LH levels and increased folliculogenesis when compared to the PCOS rats without treatment (K+).Conclusion: Metformin + probiotic supplementation causes levels of FSH, LH and folliculogenesis activity in PCOS rats to resemble healthy rats.

Abstract

Myocardial infarction is the leading cause of death in the world’s population. The sudden and progressive loss of cardiomyocyte contractile cells due to infarction is disproportionate to the number of new cells formation. This pathological condition will ultimately reduce the function of the heart muscles. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in the last decade has been attracting attention regarding its role in cell regeneration. The content of cytokines and growth factors contained in PRP such as Platelet-Derived Growth Factor (PDGF), Transforming Growth Factor Beta 1 (TGF-Β1), Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF), Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF), Basic Fibroblast Growth Factor (bFGF) and others are known to be involved in the migration, proliferation, and differentiation of various cell types and to induce post-ischemic angiogenesis. This review aims to analyze and investigate the benefits of PRP therapy in myocardial infarction. Recent literatures regarding the use of PRP in myocardial infarction was collected by searching PubMed and Google Scholar databases with the keywords of “Platelet-rich plasma”, “Myocardial Infarction”, “Reperfusion”, and “Angiogenesis”. The researches used was published between January 2011 and December 2022. Based on the results, Platelet-rich Plasma (PRP) is considered capable of accelerating angiogenesis, mitogenesis, protect cells from free radicals, reduce infarct area and scar tissue in myocardial infarction. PRP can also improve cardiac function in post myocardial infarction by increasing ejection fraction. In addition, PRP can also reduce treatment costs due to the risk of myocardial infarction complications such as bleeding and infection.
