The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of honey bee Apis dorsata as anti-osteoporosis in calcium ash density (CAD) of bone in osteoporotic-induced rats. The target of this study was to know bone calcium levels after being given honey bees Apis dorsata. In this study, 35 female white rats (Ratus norvegicus) mature was used with weight 200gr. Divided into 5 groups, 2 control groups and 3 treatment groups. The negative control group (SH) was not induced by osteoporosis and was given the only aquadest of 1.5 ml/day. Whereas the positive control group was induced by osteoporosis (OH) and was given only aquadest 1.5 ml/day. T1, T2 and T3 treatment groups were given bee honey with various doses including 1g / kg ad 1.5 ml aquadest, 2g / kg BB ad 1.5 ml aquadest and 3g / kg BB ad 1.5 ml aquadest. Then after 12 weeks, white rats were sacrificed for lumbar vertebrae. Furthermore, the sixth lumbar spine os vertebrae will be examined for calcium bone ash content. The data were obtained was analyzed using statistical analysis of variance (ANOVA) for the results of the calcium ash content data Keywords: Honey; Osteoporosis; CAD
The aims of this study to determine the effect of honey bees (Apis dorsata) to prevent the decrease of femur density in ovariohysterctomized rats as animal model of osteoporosis by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). This study used 20 adult female white rats (Rattus norvegicus) with body weight 300 gr. Divided into 5 groups, negative control group (P0-), not in ovariohysterectomy, only given aquadest 1.5 ml/day ; Positive control group (P0 +), in ovariohysterectomy, only given aquadest 1.5 ml/day; Treatment group 1 (P1), in ovariohysterectomy and given honey 1 gram / kg BB + 1.5 ml aquadest; Treatment group 2 (P2), in ovariohysterectomy and given honey 2 grams / kg BB + 1.5 ml aquadest; Treatment group 3 (P3), in ovariohysterectomy and given honey 4 grams / kg BB + 1.5 ml aquadest. After 12 weeks, all rats were sacrified for removal of the femur and performed by SEM. Analysis of SEM showed that mice administered honey with a dose of 4 grams / kg BW (P3) showed bone density approaching negative control treatment (P0-), ie, ovariohysterectomized rats. P3 showed the most less bone porosity than other treatment groups. The largest and most uniformly distributed porosity was shown by the positive control group (P0 +). The best results with the smallest quantity and size of the porosity of femur is in P3 group. In conclusion, honey (Apis dorsata) can prevent the decrease in bone density of the femur by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM).
The objective of this experiment is to observe the effect of forest honey produced by giant bees Apis dorsata on improving fertility and egg number of the bird. The bird which observed in this experiment is captive bird Oriental Magpie Robin (Copsychus saularis). Twelve paired captive bird in official captivity were transferred into new pairing cage and adapted along two weeks. Every bird was fed with crickets and normal ration mixed with low protein diet (LP) with 16% of crude protein gradually. After an adaptation period, twelve paired captive bird were divided into three groups T1, T2 and T3. Birds were treatened with honey solution 5%, 10% and 15% concentration series in 1 ml aquadest intraabdominal of 10 crickets and fed with 15 crickets and 20 gram low protein ration (16%) per day for two laying periods. Egg production each group were calculated and observed its fertility among all egg production in one parental. In accordance with that, the results were analyzed descriptively. This pre-treatment, the bird’s mating behaviour becomes a week faster than the normal period. Bird’s fertility is also increasing with the provision of honey in the bird nutrition. In the bird’s pairs in cage’s number 9 and 10 have shown development by producing 3 fertile eggs after being treated with honey. In the previous period showed from 3 eggs only 1 being fertile. Honey has not been able to increase the number of eggs produced by birds. However, there is an enhancement in the animal population up to 25% of the 12 pairs of birds that are used as experimental samples in the captivity. The conclusion of this study shows that honey can accelerate the mating behaviour of birds and can increase the fertility of birds' eggs. However, honey has not yet affected the increase the quantity of the birds' egg. Longer observation’s duration with extra bird’s sample is needed for future research, in order to see the reproduction cycle of birds over several periods. Field research related to nutrition in chemistry nutrition’s fields related the active ingredient in honey that can affect the reproduction system is also important to conducted for further research.
