KOPI DAPAT MENURUNKAN AKTIVITAS ALT DAN AST SERUM DARAH TIKUS WISTAR ALKOHOLIK

Ethanol can damage the liver, indicated by an increase of alanin amino transaminase (ALT) activity and aspartat amino transminase (AST) activity in the blood of alcohol-treated rats. Coffee is rich in antioxidants which are hepatoprotector agent. This study aimed to determine the effect of coffee to reduce alanin amino transaminase (ALT) activity and aspartat amino transminase (AST) activity in blood serum of alcohol-treated rats. The study used 32 male wistar albino rats (200±20g  weight) which were divided into four treatment groups i.e. P0 (negative control which were treated with 1 mL of 30% ethanol/200g body weight (bw)/day), P1 (1 mL of 30% ethanol/200 g bw/day + coffee 0,1g/200g bw in 3,5 mL of water/200 g bw/day), P2 (1 mL of 30% ethanol/200g bw + coffee 0,15 g/200g bw in 3,5 mL of water/200g bw/day), dan P3 (1 mL of 30% ethanol/200g bw + coffee 0,2g/200g bw in 3,5 mL of water/200g bw/day). ALT and AST levels were measured by spectrophotometric method. Data analysis was done by ANOVA followed with LSD test and correlation analysis. The results showed that coffee reduced (P<0.01) the activities of ALT and AST of rats blood serum. ALT and AST activities were significantly different (P<0.01) among treatments and with control. Dose of coffee was negatively correlated with ALT activity with correlation coefficient (R) -0.978 and AST with correlation coefficient (R) -0.985 (P<0,01). The lowest of ALT and AST activities were found at dose of coffee 0.2 g/200g body weight. Keywords: ethanol, ALT, AST, coffe

Identifikasi Pola Pertumbuhan Melalui Pendugaan Hubungan Antara Ukuran-Ukuran Dimensi Tubuh Pada Sapi Putih Taro Betina Dewasa

This research evaluated the growth pattern of  Taro white cattle by estimating the relationship between body dimensions by measuring 18  Taro white cattle periodically every two weeks for three months. Body dimensions measured were body weight (BW), body length  (BL), chest circumference (CC), body height (BH), hip height (HH), and hip width (HW). The measured data were analyzed descriptively, and to estimate the relationship between body dimensions, Multiple Linear Regression analysis was used, followed by Step Wise. The results showed that the average body dimensions of  Taro white cattle were: BW:183.61 ± 25.92 kg; BL: 113.36 ± 7.13 cm; CC: 143.93 ± 6.61 cm; BH: 109.79 ± 3.92 cm; HH: 108.68 ± 4.58 cm and HW: 32.96 ± 2.33 cm. Body weight (BW) as an indicator of the growth of  Taro white cattle has genuine multiple linear relationships with BL, CC, BH, HH, and HW with the equation BW = 1.23BL + 2.29 CC - 0.24 BH + 0.11 HH + 1.97 HW – 336.63 with a coefficient of determination (R2) = 0.78. Then step-wise, a new regression equation is obtained: BW = 1.42 BL + 2.50 CC – 338.03 with a coefficient of determination (R2) = 0.80. The conclusion is the estimation of body weight as an indication of Taro white cattle growth can be best carried out by utilizing body length and chest circumference as estimating variables.Penelitian ini dilaksanakan dengan tujuan untuk mengetahui pola pertumbuhan sapi taro betina dewasa melalui pendugaan hubungan antara ukuran-ukuran dimensi dengan cara melakukan pengukuran terhadap dimensi tubuh&nbsp; 18 ekor sapi putih taro betina dewasa secara berkala setiap dua minggu selama 3 bulan.&nbsp; Dimensi tubuh yang diukur adalah bobot badan (BB), badan (PB), lingkar dada (LD), tinggi gumba (TG), tinggi pinggul (TP) dan lebar pinggul (LeP).

Gambaran Darah Kambing Gembrong, Kambing Peranakan Etawah, dan Kambing Kacang di Bali (BLOOD ILLUSTRATION OF GEMBRONG GOAT, ETAWAH CROSSBRED GOAT AND KACANG GOAT IN BALI)

There were three kinds of goat developed in Bali since a long time ago i.e. Gembrong goat, EtawahCrossbred goat, and Kacang goat. Gembrong goat is nearly disappearingrecently due to decrease of itspopulation from year to year. The Gembrong goat has very interesting performance, funny, and this speciesis Balinese native goats. The objective of thisexperiment was to know the blood illustration among thethree speciesof the Balinese native goatwhere in the future it can be used as a guide to develop each ofthem. The experiment was used nine adults goats namely three adult male Gembrong goats, three adultmale Etawah Crossbred goats, and three adult male Kacang Goats respectively. The animal fed dailygreen feed grows around them and additional rice bran. Blood samples of the animals were collected forabout10-15 mL each with venoject, and then was kept in a cooler box and subsequently sent to the ProdiaClinic Laboratory at Denpasar. The results of the experiment showed that blood illustration of the threekinds of goat was not significantly different (P > 0.05) except the triglyseride
