Namely, the control group was given distilled water, and the group was given the combination herbal juice at a dose of 28, 14, and 7 mg/kg BW/day for 28 days. The measurement parameters were the increased activity of SGOT and SGPT and histopathological features of liver cells. The data were statistically analyzed with one-way ANOVA analysis

Results: The administration of combination herbal juice for 28 days at a dose of 28, 14, and 7 mg/kg BW/day did not increase SGOT activity but caused a significant decrease in SGPT levels, namely by 20.34%, 19.39%, and 15.30%. From the histopathological picture of liver cells, at a dose of 28 mg/kg BW/day, there was no histopathological damage to liver cells

Conclusion: Subacute administration of combined herbal juice did not cause hepatotoxicity in Wistar male white rats

Intisari

Latar belakang: Telah dilakukan sebelumnya uji aktivitas dari jus herbal kombinasi bawang putih, bunga rosella, jahe merah, jeruk nipis cuka apel dan madu,  jus herbal kombinasi dapat menurunkan gula darah  [1] dan dapat menurunkan kadar kolesterol total [11]. Dalam penggunaan obat tradisional, selain efektifitasnya, keamanannya pun harus dibuktikan sebelum jus herbal beredar dimasyarakat

Tujuan: Penelitian ini untuk mengetahui efek hepatotoksik sub akut dari jus herbal kombinasi

Metode: Penelitian ini bersifat eksperimental menggunakan 24 ekor tikus yang terbagi dalam 4 kelompok. yaitu kelompok kontrol yang diberi akuades dan kelompok yang diberi jus herbal kombinasi dengan dosis 28, 14 dan 7 mg/kgBB/hari selama 28 hari. Parameter pengukuran adalah peningkatan aktivitas SGOT dan SGPT serta gambaran histopatologi sel hati. Data dianalisa secara statistik dengan  analisa ANOVA satu arah

Hasil: Pemberian jus herbal kombinasi selama 28 hari dengan dosis 28, 14 dan 7 mg/kgBB/hari tidak menyebabkan peningkatan aktifitas SGOT  tetapi menyebabkan penurunan kadar SGPT secara signifikan yaitu sebesar 20,34 %, 19,39 % dan 15,30 %. Dari gambaran histopatologi sel  hati, dosis 28 mg/kggBB/hari tidak ditemukan kerusakan histopatologi sel hati
