Andriani, Suseno G, Effiana, Novriany V, Fitrianingrum I. 2018. Short Communication: Hepatoprotective effect of methanol extract of sambiloto leaves (Andrographis paniculata) against malondialdehyde levels in liver tissues of paracetamol-induced Wistar rat. Nusantara Bioscience 10: 87-90. Andrographis paniculata contains andrographolide and flavonoids, which have a hepatoprotective effect. This study was aimed to examine hepatoprotective effect of Andrographis paniculata extract against liver tissues malondialdehyde (MDA) levels of paracetamol induced Wistar rat (Rattus novegicus). The study was designed with posttest-only control group conducted at Tanjungpura University, Indonesia in June 2015. A total of 30 rats at age of three weeks were divided into 6 groups. They were given toxic dose paracetamol, curcumin and A. paniculata extract in different dose. Liver tissues were tested by Wills’s method. The data was analyzed using One-way ANOVA and LSD Post-hoc test. MDA levels of liver tissues were i.e, normal control (0.34 nmol mL-1), positive control (0.34 nmol mL-1), dose 1 (0.45 nmol mL-1), dose 2 (0.55 nmol mL-1), dose 3 (0.63 nmol mL- 1 ), negative control (1.32 nmol mL-1). Result showed that MDA levels of liver tissues of negative control group were significantly different with other groups (ANOVA, p≤ 0.05). There were no significant differences between MDA levels of liver tissues of Dose 1 with normal control and positive control (ANOVA, p>0.05). The methanol extract of A. paniculata has a hepatoprotective effect in (MDA) levels of paracetamol-induced Rattus novegicus with an effective dose of 500 mg kg-1.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
