Uji Toksitas Fraksi -nHexan, Etil Asetat dan Etanol 70% dari Ekstrak Etanol Bunga Parang Romang (Boehmeria virgata (Forst) Guill) terhadap Larva Udang (Artemia salina Leach)

Telah dilakukan penelitian tentang uji Uji Toksitas Fraksi -nHexan, Etil Asetat dan Etanol 70% dari Ekstrak Etanol Bunga Parang Romang (Boehmeria virgata (Forst) Guill) terhadap Larva Udang (Artemia salina Leach). Serbuk bunga Boehmeria virgata (Forst) Guill) diekstraksi dengan metode maserasi ekstrak kental. Selanjutnya ekstrak kental di partisi dengan menggunakan pelarut n-heksan, etil asetat, dan etanol 70%. Masing-masing ekstrak di uji aktivitasnya terhadap larva Artemia salina Leach. Hasil analisis Guill berturut-turut sebesar 10,1624; 0.9145 dan 1.345 ug/ml

Test of Activities of Hepatoprotector of Senggani Leaf Ethanol Extract (Melastoma Malabathricum L.) ON RAT (Rattus Novergicus) That Induced by Paracetamol

Senggani leaves (Melastoma Malabathricum L.) are easily available plans that are sometimes used as traditional medicine. This study aimed to determine the hepatotective activity of the ethanol of senggani leaves (Melastoma Malabathricum L.) on rats (Rattus Novergicus) induced by paracetamol with histopatological parameters. Making extracts was carried out by maceration using 96% ethanol solution. The test animals used were 30 rats (Rattus Novergicus) which were divided into 6 groups. Group I without treatment, group II as negative control, group III as positive control, and group IV, V, and VI who were given senggani leaf extract, respectively 100 mg/Kg bb, 200 mg/Kg bb, and 400 mg/Kg bb for 7 day. On the 8 day all rats except group I, were induced paracetamol 180 mg/200 gr bb as the parent of liver demage. The resulst showed that the ethanol extract of senggani leaves at a dose of 400 mg/Kg bb was the most effective in hepatoprotective activity compared to a dose of 100 mg/Kg bb, and 200 mg/Kg bb with histopathological parameters induced by paracetamol.Senggani leaves (Melastoma Malabathricum L.) are easily available plans that are sometimes used as traditional medicine.

ANALISIS KADAR OMEGA 3 PADA DAGING IKAN TAWASSANG (Naso thynnoides) ASAL PAOTERE KOTA MAKASSAR

Omega-3 adalah kelompok asam lemak tak jenuh  essensial yang angat dibutuhkan oleh tubuh, karena tubuh tidak dapat mensintesa senyawa tersebut. Asam lemak omega-3 banyak ditemukan pada berbagai spesies ikan yang merupakan sumber asam lemak  hewani laut, seperti ikan tawassang (Naso thynnoides).  Telah dilakukan analisis kadar omega 3 pada daging ikan tawassang (Naso thynnoides) asal Paotere Kota Makassar.  Penelitian ini dimaksudkan untuk menganalisis  kadar dan jenis asam lemak omega 3 pada daging ikan tawassang (Naso thynnoides). Ekstraksi sampel secara sokhletasi dengan pelarut n-heksan, yang dilanjutkan dengan analisis kualitatif dan kuantitatif kadar dan jenis omega 3  menggunakan  instrument Gas Chromatography-Mass Spektrofotometer (GC-MS).  Hasil  analisis menunjukkan bahwa ekstrak daging ikan tawassang (Naso thynnoides) memiliki kandungan omega 3 sebesar 14,7941% dengan komposisi asam linolenat 0,3474%, DHA 10,7933% dan EPA 3,5735%.
