Background: Manalagi apples (Malus sylvestris) have long been believed to have the effect of lowering blood cholesterol levels. Where the main content is quercetin class of flavonoids as antioxidants and pectin which functions as fat absorption. Methods: This study was an experimental study with a randomized post test only control group design study conducted for 28 days and using 30 rats divided into 3 groups. Results: In all groups given a high fat diet with treatment, control (-) was given a high fat diet, control (+) was given simvastatin and KP1 was given Manalagi apple juice (Malus sylvestris) dose of 10 ml/day. One-Way ANOVA test results from measurements of triglyceride levels showed p = 0.139 (p> 0.05) so that Manalagi apple juice (Malus sylvestris) did not significantly affect blood triglyceride levels of male Wistar strains (Rattus norvegicus) given high fat diet. Conclusion: The administration of skin juice and flesh of Manalagi apple (Malus sylvestris) can reduce the blood triglyceride levels of male rats (Rattus norvegicus) wistar strain had been given a high-fat diet before, but it was not statistically significant.
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.
