Pengaruh Fitosterol Tumbuhan Lamun (Enhalus acoroides) Terhadap Fertilitas Mencit (Mus musculus) ICR Jantan
Abstract: In Indonesia, the
high growth of population is special problem.
Because of that, the government had to done something to holding the
rate population problem, that one of them is Planning Family (KB) in national
program. Increased of rate acceptor KB
can give effect to contraception logistic crisis, so it can be decreased
logistic supply. By the way, the
development of contraception from plant is one of alternative that can do it.
Indonesia is tropical country that have richness flora. More than 940 species that has planting and
used be herbal medicine or traditional medicine and from 75th family are more
than 225th plant species that used be contraception material. One of them is sea grass (Enhalus acoroides)
because it’s contained steroid, that’s can be isolated from all of body plant,
like roots, rhizome, and leaf.
Fitosterol on leaf sea grass is very potential that it had to explore in
biology aspect. It’s very important in
supply steroid, to be contraception material and or medicine. This research
aimed to knows the influence fitosterol of sea grass (Enhalus acoroides) to
fertility of Mencit (Mus musculus) male ICR.
There are four experiments (A0= control : just give it to mencit is
suspension of fitosterol sea grass and A1, A2, A3 : give it to mencit is dose of fitosterol sea grass with each
experiment are 25, 50 and 75 mg/kg per mencit).
Rate of mencit in experiment are 60 mencit. The parameter of research
are heavy of testis, epididimis and vesikula seminalis, rate and sperm mortality,
and so conception from male mencit. Based on the results of that research has
been done shows that the fitosterol of sea grass is making influence to mencit,
like increasing of heavy of testis, epididimis and vesikula seminalis, and
mortality of mencit. But it can decrease
of sperm rate and conception of mencit.
It’s meaning that the higher dose of fitosterol can make lower of
result.
