Antihypercholesterolemic and Antioxidant Effects of Blumea balsamifera L. Leaf Extracts to Maintain Luteinizing Hormone Secretion in Rats Induced by High-Cholesterol Diets

Abstract: BACKGROUND: The discovery of herbal ingredients for antihypercholesterolemic and to improve male reproductive function is very necessary due to high-cholesterol diet factors. Blumea balsamifera leaf extract (BBLE) is known to be able to increase the number and diameter of Leydig cells in rats given high-fat feed. This study was to conducted to determine the levels of total cholesterol, body weight, plasma malondialdehyde (MDA), Superoxide Dismutase (SOD), Luteinizing Hormone (LH) in high-cholesterol-fed male r… Show more

“…The blood was collected in a microtube and centrifuged at 4000 rpm for 10 min at room temperature; the plasma was separated and then put in a microtube of 1 mL and stored in a cooler at -70°C in the dark. The MDA serum was measured using the thiobarbituric acid reactive test method (TBARS) (Sun and Zigman, 1978) and SOD level based on with SOD Assay Kit (Catalog No: ESOD-100, Bioassay System) (Widhiantara et al, 2021).…”

“…The increase in ROS production can degrade polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) and form malondialdehyde (MDA) (Ayala et al, 2014;Kurutas, 2016). The MDA level increases in Wistar rats under hypercholesterolemic conditions (Aryanugraha et al, 2012;Valko et al, 2007;Wahjuni, 2014;Widhiantara et al, 2021). MDA is the final product of the lipid peroxidation process and can cause free compounds or bonds to tissues (Aryanugraha et al, 2012;Michalski et al, 2008;Yui et al, 2021;Yulianti et al, 2020).…”

“…Estrogen helps to relax blood arteries, lower the risk of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease in postmenopausal women (Iorga et al, 2017). Testosterone influences muscular growth and adiposity, as well as emotional and cognitive behavior in adult males (Widhiantara et al, 2021). The issue of alcoholism in pubertal humans is largely understudied.…”

“…Heavy drinking generally causes an increase in oxidative stress, chronic inflammation, and intestinal dysbiosis (Louevt and Mathurin, 2015;Widhiantara et al, 2021). Alcohol metabolism, on the other hand, produces a considerable number of reactive oxygen species (ROS) (Mackus et al, 2020).…”

“…The antimicrobial capabilities of this herbal plant are attributed to its capacity to create many secondary metabolites with rather complicated structures that have antibacterial and antioxidant characteristics (Chassagne et al, 2021). Oxidative stress, which is defined by the appearance of an imbalance between the development of reactive species and antioxidant defence activity, may intensify in the presence of numerous degenerative disorders and infectious diseases that are caused mostly by microbes (Widhiantara et al, 2021). Antioxidants derived from Cyperus rotundus plant extracts, for examples, have a synergistic impact on ampicillin-resistant S aureus via the disintegration of peptidoglycan and cytoplasmic membranes (Angiolella et al, 2018).…”
