“…Because it is produced within the liver cells as opposed to other tissues, SGPT is a more sensitive serum marker enzyme for liver disease than SGOT. SGOT is also produced by the heart muscle, skeletal muscle, brain, lungs, leucocytes, red blood cells, kidney, and pancreas [21]. The considerable change in enzyme levels in the rats in this study who received sub-acute oral doses may indicate that the liver's function was impacted [22].…”

Objective: Pegagan embun (Hydrocotyle sibthorpioides Lam.) is one of the herbs used in ethnomedicines as an immunostimulant during the COVID-19 pandemic. This present study aims to discover the potential toxicity effect of pegagan embun extract through sub-acute administration on the SGPT and SGOT levels of Wistar white male rats. Methods: Thirty-six test animals were divided into four groups: the control group was given Na CMC 0.5%, and the treatment groups were treated with ethanol extract of pegagan embun at doses of 7, 35, and 150 mg/kgBW. All groups were treated orally for 7, 14, and 21 d once daily. On the 8th, 15th, and 22nd day, the SGPT and SGOT of the test animal level were measured. The data were analyzed by two-way ANOVA followed by Duncan’s multiple range test (p<0.05). Results: The study revealed that administration of pegagan embun extract did not cause any harmful effect on the liver but significantly decreased the level of SGPT and SGOT influenced by the variety of doses and duration of administration (p<0.05). Significant reductions in SGPT and SGOT levels are seen after extract administration at dosages of 7 mg/kgBW for 21 d. Conclusion: This study showed that pegagan embun (Hydrocotyle sibthorpioides Lam.) extract sub-acute administration at doses of 7, 35, and 150 mg/kgBW is relatively non-toxic and safe to be used as an immunostimulant. There was no sign of damage showed in the liver of treated rats based on the levels of SGOT and SGPT.
