Backgrdound: Several previous researchers have prepared chicken eggshell flour using hydrochloric acid (HCl) and acetic acid (CH3COOH) solvents. However, the results of the physicochemical characteristics still very diverse. This study aims to produce chicken eggshell flour using two different types of solvents (4% HCl and CH3COOH 2N) and determine the proper solvent to obtain better physicochemical characteristics. Method: This type of research was descriptive quantitative. The research stages initiated by preparing chicken eggshell samples by maceration using 4% HCl and CH3COOH 2N. Afterward, chemical characteristics (moisture content, ash, calcium carbonate, calcium, and phosphorus) and physical characteristics (yield) of eggshell flour were determined. Processing and data conducted by using the IBM SPSS statistic program Result: The higher levels of calcium, calcium carbonate, phosphorus, ash, yield, and lower water content of the eggshell powder were generated by extraction using 4% HCl than 2N acetic acid (CH3COOH). Conclusion: The physicochemical characteristics of the eggshell powder extracted from the 4% HCl were better than the 2N acetic acid (CH3COOH)
Background: Obesity is strongly associated with atherogenic dyslipidemia phenotype and is an independent risk factor of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Besides body mass index (BMI), there are various obesity indices, namely waist circumference (WC) to detect central obesity, and percentage of body fat (%BF) using bioimpedance analysis (BIA) to detect peripheral-central obesity. The aim of this study is to determine which obesity index is better in predicting dyslipidemia. Methods:This cross-sectional study involved 99 professionally active doctors working at tertiary hospital, from January to March 2021. Obesity was measured by obesity indices such as BMI, WC, and %BF using BIA. After that, the serum lipid profile was then measured. Dyslipidemia is a disorder of lipoprotein metabolism, including lipoprotein overproduction or deficiency that may be manifested by high total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, triglycerides, and low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL) cholesterol. Results:Of the total 99 subjects, 49.5% were male, while 50.5% were female. The prevalence of obesity based on BMI, WC, and %BF using BIA was 57.6%, 74.8%, and 72.7%, respectively. Obesity based on BMI has 9.8 times the risk of having low HDL cholesterol levels (odds ratio (OR) = 9.814, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.213 -79.379) and 4.6 times of having high triglycerides levels (OR = 4.618,). Meanwhile, central obesity based on WC has 3.1 times the risk of having high LDL cholesterol levels (OR = 3.100, 95% CI: 1.170 -8.218). On the contrary, the results of the analysis on obesity based on %BF on lipid profile were not significant.Conclusions: Obesity based on BMI and WC measurements are better than %BF in predicting dyslipidemia.
This study aimed to explore the manufacture of high-fat pellets for obesity induction diets in male Wistar rats and determined its effect on lipid profiles and body mass index. It was an experimental laboratory method with a post-test randomized control group. Formulation of high-fat pellets (HFD) and physico-chemical characteristics of pellets were conducted in September 2019. This study used about 28 male Wistar white rats, two months old, and 150-200 g body weight. Rats were acclimatized for seven days, then divided into four groups: 7 rats were given a standard feed of Confeed PARS CP594 (P0), and three groups (P1, P2, P3) were given high-fat feed (HFD FII) 30 g/head/day. The result showed that the mean fat content of Formula II pellets (HFD FII) was higher (25.44% ± 0.16) than Formula I pellet (HFD FI) (22.55% ± 0.16) and standard feed (3%). The mean of body weight and BMI of obesity induction rat groups (P1, P2, P3) were significantly higher than the standard rat group (P0) (p <0.05). The results of the post-hoc LSD test between groups P1, P2, and P3 showed no difference in mean body weight and BMI (p> 0.05). Feed consumption in the rat fed with HFD FII pellets was higher than the standard group (P0). It means that rats preferred the HFD FII pellets. The lipid profile of the obesity induction group showed higher total cholesterol, triglycerides, and LDL, while the HDL levels were significantly lower than the standard feed group (P0). LSD post-hoc test results between P1, P2, and P3 showed no difference in the mean lipid profile (p> 0.05). Giving HFD FII pellets, a source of fat from butter, full cream milk powder, and eggs of purebred chickens for eight weeks could make male Wistar rats obese and dyslipidemia
Background: Obesity is a public health problem in the world, which can lead to several risks of cardiovascular events, such as, diabetes mellitus type 2 and respiratory disorders. This study aimed to analyze the obesity measurements index and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) in young adults without diabetes.
Diabetes Mellitus is a metabolic disease which is still a public health problem till now. World Health Organization (WHO) and International Diabetes Federation (IDF) predict an increase in the number of diabetics which become one of the global threats. Some evidences showed that vitamin D deficiency might influenced in pathogenesis of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus that caused by insulin resistence and dysfunction of pancreatic beta cell. The objectives of this study is To analyze Vitamin D levels in Type 2 Diabetes Patients that consist of prediabetic group, controlled Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Group, and uncontrolled Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. The method used is a cross sectional study. During the study period, a total of 93 samples were obtained which met the study criteria. The sample consist of 33 prediabetic subjects, 30 controlled Type 2 DM subejcts, and 30 uncontrolled Type 2 DM. The study sample consist of 49(52,7%) men and 44(47,3%) women with minimum age 20 years and maximum 79 years (mean 56,59+12,15 years). The minimum HbA1c level was 4,8% and the maximum level was 12,9% (mean 6,95+1,81%). The minimum Vitamin D level was 9,07 ng/ml dan the maximum level was 66,49 ng/ml (mean 26,85+9,30 ng/ml). Kruskal Wallis test showed p value=0,132, Spearman correlation test showed p value>0,05. The clonclusion from this study, there is no significant correlation between vitamin D level and type 2 Diabetes Melllitus consist of Prediabetic group, controlled Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, and uncontrolled type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
