UJI AKTIVITAS ANTIOKSIDAN MINYAK BUAH MERAH (Pandanus conoideus LAM.) SECARA in Vitro DAN In Vivo PADA TIKUS YANG DIBERI BEBAN AKTIVITAS FISIK MAKSIMAL

Abstract: Increasing oxygen consumption during intensive physical exercise may increase production of free radicals, and if it exceeds physiological capacity may cause oxidative stress as shown as chance of MDA level. Buah merah oil contains high betacarotene and tocopherol, as well as fatty  acid  such  as  oleic  acid,  linoleic  acid,  linolenic  acid  and  decanoic  acid.  Tocopherol  is major  biological  lipid-soluble  antioxidant,  protecting  structures  and  function  of  cell membranes  from  free  radicals.  The  objective  of  this  study  was  to  know  in  vitro  antioxidant activity  and  the  effect  of  buah  merah  oil  on  MDA  level  in  blood  during  maximum  physical activity treatment. In vitro antioxidant activity test was conducted using DPPH method (2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl  hydrazyl).  In  vivo  antioxidant  activity  test  was  done  by  using  24  male Wistar rats in pre - post test control group design. The rats were grouped into 4 groups. The control group was given destillated water and three treatment groups were given buah merah oil in the dose of 0,15 ml/kgBW; 0,3 ml/kgBW; 0,6 ml/kgBW respectivelyfor 10 days. Before buah merah oil was given, level of MDA was measured. Ten days later, the four group were given maximum physical activity mean of swimming until the sign of fatigue occurred (nearly drowned)  and  the  blood  was  taken  for  blood  MDA  examination.  In  vitro,  the  IC50  of  buah merah oil was 451,51 μg/ml. In vivo test, dosage 0,15 ml/kgBW could decrease MDA 5,22% Dosage 0,3 ml/kgBW could decrease MDA 11,96% and dosage 0,6 ml/kgBW could decrease MDA  8,19%  .  Buah  merah  oil  showed  antioxidant  activity  in  vitro.  In  vivo  experiment,  all dosage  of  buah  merah  oil  decreased  blood  MDA  level  but  in  the  dose  of  0,3  ml/kgBW decreased MDA level more than dose of 0,15 ml/kgBW and 0,6 ml/kgBW.
