Perbandingan Aktivitas Anti-Hiperurisemia Ekstrak Etanol Seledri (Apium Graveolens L.) Dan Daun Salam (Syzygium Polyanthum) Pada Mencit Yang Diinduksi Kafein

Abstract

Celery plants (Apium Graveolens L) and bay leaves (Syzygium polyanthum) have been used as alternative medicine to treat Hyperuricemia. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of administration of extracts from celery plants and bay leafs to decrease uric acid levels in blood.  This research used a post-test control group only design. A total of 24 male mice (randomly divided into 4 groups; P0, P1, P2 and P3). P0 was the control group (induced with caffeine at a dose of 0.5 mg/kgBW). P1 was induced with caffeine 0.5 mg/kgBW+celery extract 35 mg/kgBW, P2 was induced by caffeine 0.5 mg/kgBW+bay leaf extract 35 mg/kgBW and P3 was induced by caffeine + a combination of celery plant extract and bay leaves 35mg/kgBW. Uric acid levels were measured using an easy touch GCU meter device. The results showed that average of uric acid level for P0, P1, P2 and P4 were 7.1mg/dl; 4.9 mg/dl; 4 mg/dl; and 5.2 mg/dl, respectively. The most significant antihyperuricemia activity was demonstrated by administering 35 mg/kgBW of bay leaf extract.  The One Way ANOVA analysis described that the administration of extract ethanol generated significant effects (p-value <0.05). Based on post hoc LSD analysis, it was found that the administration of ethanol extract from bay leaves showed significant differences compared to combination (celery + bay leaves) in lowering uric acid levels. Therefore, it was concluded extract from celery and bay leaves can be used to lower the level of uric aci
