Abstract

ABSTRAK Kadar kolesterol tinggi dapat diturunkan dengan mengkonsumsi pangan fungsional berupa cincau kulit buah naga merah. Penelitian bertujuan membuktikan kemampuan cincau kulit buah naga merah dalam menurunkan kadar kolesterol pada mencit jantan putih hiperkolesterolemia. Metode penelitian ini adalah true experimental design dengan melakukan pengujian kolesterol total pada mencit sebelum dan sesudah perlakuan (pretest-posttest design). Pengkondisian hiperkolesterolmia dengan memberikan pakan tinggi kolesterol yaitu kuning telur puyuh secara oral pada kelompok 2, 3, dan 4 selama 15 hari. Selanjutnya selama 15 hari, kelompok 3 diberi simvastatin secara oral dengan dosis 0.10 mg/ kg BB dan kelompok 4 diberi cincau kulit buah naga dengan dosis 0.26 mg/ kg BB. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan pemberian cincau kulit buah naga merah dapat menurunkan kadar kolesterol total sebanyak 26.18%. Sedangkan simvastatin hanya menurunkan kadar kolesterol total sebesar 11.77%. Kesimpulannya bahwa pemberian cincau kulit buah naga merah dapat menurunkan kadar kolesterol total.

This study aims to prove red dragon fruit peel grass jelly to reduce cholesterol levels in white male hypercholesterolemia mice. This study method is a true experimental design by testing total cholesterol in mice before and after treatment. Conditioning hypercholesterolemia by giving quail egg yolks orally in groups 2, 3, and 4 for 15 days. Then for 15 days, group 3 was given simvastatin orally (a dose of 0.10 mg/kg bw) and group 4 was given red dragon fruit peel grass jelly (a dose of 0.26 mg/kg bw). The results showed that red dragon fruit peel grass jelly reduce total cholesterol levels by 26.18%. While simvastatin only reduce total cholesterol by 11.77%. The conclusion is giving red dragon fruit peel grass jelly can reduce total cholesterol levels.
