ABSTRACT
This study aims to look at the effect of the combination of ethanol extract
of sambung nyawa leaf (Gynura procumbens (Lour.) Merr.) and jati cina leaf
(Senna Alexandrina Mill.) (EKDSDJC) as an antiobesity agent in giving effect to
lower body weight in mice given dietary high protein and fat.
Test group used divided into 5 groups: untreatment was given Na-CMC;
comparison given apisate 67,5 mg/kg BB; dose groups of 90 mg/kg BB
combination extract of sambung nyawa leaf and jati cina leaf; dose group of 180
mg/kg BB combination extract of sambung nyawa leaf and jati cina leaf and
normal groups. Parameters was measured include the following measurements of
weight loss, the volume of urine, stool weight, the amount of food intake and lipid
profiles.
Results of the study shown at a dose groups of 90 mg/kg BB EKDSDJC
and 180 mg/kg BB EKDSDJC to the normal group there were no significant
difference in body weight, urine volume, stool weight and food intake, but
significant different on the comparison group on weight on day 46 to day 56 and
on day 58; the urine volume was significant different in the 47th and 58th day; on
stool weight was significant different in the 51th and 58th day; on food intake was
significant different in the 47th and 48th day. In the lipid profile after 12 days of
treatment with a extract combination of sambung nyawa leaf and jati cina leaf
(EKDSDJC) decreased triglyceride levels in a dose groups of 90 mg/kg BB
EKDSDJC and at dose groups 180 mg/kg BB EKDSDJC and not give significant
difference to the group comparison to the analysis by Anova (P>0,05).
