Dyslipidemia condition causes oxidative stress that triggers inflammation. Moringa leaves are rich in fiber and antioxidants that can prevent oxidative stress and reduce inflammation. This study aimed to see, measure, and analyze the effect of Moringa flour supplementation on IL-6 and LDL levels of dyslipidemic Sprague Dawley (SD) rats. The type of study was true-experiment with randomized pre-post. Test with control. Group design. Intervention for 28 days in 4 groups of SD rats (n= 24); a consisting group of healthy rats (K-), dyslipidemic rats (K+), dyslipidemic rats respectively given 0.1g/100g BW moringa flour (P1), and 0.2 g/100g BW moringa flour (P2). ELISA and CHOD-PAP methods measured IL-6 and LDL levels. Statistical analysis used Paired t-test, One-way Anova, and Post Hoc Bonferroni. The results showed a significant decrease in IL-6 and LDL levels in the intervention group compared to the non-intervention group (p= 0,000). The reduction of IL-6 levels in the P2 group was greater than that in the P1 group but not significant. The decrease. in LDL levels in the P2 group was significantly higher than in the P1 group. It is attributed to the fiber and antioxidant content in Moringa. Fiber that can bind cholesterol and bile acids, antioxidants can regulate fat metabolism, capture free radicals and prevent oxidative stress. In conclusion, Moringa flour supplementation improved lipid profiles and inflammation compared to rats with only standard and high-fat diets

Many alternative contraceptives can be used as needed. The most effective type of contraception is injection contraception because it is relatively safe, effective, simple and inexpensive. Contraceptive users must be selective in choosing contraception because there is no method of contraception that is safe and effective for all acceptors. The side effects of Medroxy Progesterone Acetat injection include bleeding disorders such as amenorrhoea, weight gain, high blood pressure, acne, spotting. Medroxy Progesterone Acetat is a progestin contraceptive regimen that is often used and works long-term. The mechanism of action of Medroxy Progesterone Acetate injection is to inhibit gonadotropin secretion so that it will prevent the maturation of primary follicles in the ovary and also prevent ovulation and cause endometrial depletion.The research design is the post test only control group design. The population in this research  are the white rats species Rattus norvegicus Wistar strain. The samples are taken randomly from all populations that met the following sample criteria: Female rats, Aged 12-14 weeks, having a body weight of 150 - 200 grams.The results showed that Medroxy Progesterone Acetate hormone affects the thickness of the endometrium, and there is a difference in the histological picture of endometrial thickness due to the administration of the Medroxy Progesterone Acetate hormone and without the administration of the Medroxy Progesterone Acetate hormone

Hyperglycemia in people with diabetes mellitus causes oxidative stress which can interfere with the provision of nutrients through blood vessels to the tissues that form spermatozoa so that it interferes with the process of spermatogenesis in the testicular organs. Coffee contains caffeine and chlorogenic acid which functions as an antioxidant to improve spermatogenesis abnormalities which causes decreased number of normal spermatozoa. The purpose of this study was to determine the ability of coffee in improving the number of spermatozoa of alloxan induced wistar white rats.. Methods this study uses Post-test only laboratory experimental research with control group design. Submitting 30 rats divided into 5 groups: normal control (given aquades), negative control (induced alloxan + aquades), setting 1 (induced alloxan + coffee 0.054 gram / 200 gramBB), aid 2 (alloxan induced + coffee 0.108 gram / 200 gramBB ) and treatment 3 (alloxan + coffee induced 0.162 gram / 200 gramBB). Provision of coffee carried out for 14 days, rats terminated on the 15th day. Testicles are taken then observed and counted spermatozoa. One-way ANOVA test results show the value of p = 0.000. In the LSD test between the normal control group (aquades) and negative control (diabetic rats without treatment) had a value of p = 0.042, whereas in the treatment group 1.2.3 with a negative control had a value of p = 0.000. Provision of coffee can increase the number of spermatozoa white wistar strain alloxan induced.

According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA),the allowed level of Monosodium glutamate (MSG)consumption is 30 mg / kgbw per day. Several studies show that long-term MSG is toxic to the kidneys bycausingoxidative stress and decreasing thekidney function.This study was based on the potential for impaired kidneyfunction and structure caused by excessive consumption of MSG and basil leaves (Ocimum basilicum L.) asantioxidant plants with flavonoid content. To find out the effect of basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) leaves’ ethanolextract dose 175 mg / kgbw, 350 mg / kgbw and 700 mg / kgbw against kidney tubular injury on white rats WistarStrain induced by MSG.This study was a quasi-experimental study with a randomized post-test only controlledgroup design. The number of samples was 25 ABM, divided into five groups, the positive control group (K+), thenegative control group (K-) and the treatment group (K1,K2 and K3).In the group given basil leaves ethanol extractdoses of 175, 350 and 700 mg / kgbw, there was a decrease in tubular injury in the kidney of the white rat (Rattusnorvegicus) Wistar strain induced by MSG 1.6 g/day orally. The optimal dose in this study was 700 mg / kgbw. Teststatistics indicated significant differences in all five groups (p < 0.05).The administration of ethanol extract of basilleaves (Ocimum basilicumL.) was able to prevent tubular injury in the kidney of the white rat (Rattus norvegicus)Wistar strain induced by MSG. Kadar konsumsi MSG yang diperbolehkan menurut Europian Food Safety Authority (EFSA) yaitu 30 mg/kgBB per hari. Beberapa studi pada hewan coba menunjukkan bahwa pemberian MSG jangka panjang bersifat toksik padaginjal dengan menyebabkan stress oksidatif dan menurunkan fungsi ginjal. Penggunaan tanaman yang mengandungantioksidan dapat meningkatkan mekanisme dalam tubuh untuk mencegah stres oksidatif. Penelitian ini didasarkanoleh potensi terjadinya gangguan fungsi dan struktur ginjal akibat stres oksidatif yang disebabkan oleh konsumsiMSG berlebih serta daun kemangi (Ocimum basilicum L.) sebagai tanaman antioksidan dengan kandunganflavonoid.Mengetahui pengaruh pemberian ekstrak etanol daun kemangi (Ocimum basilicum L.) dosis 175,350 dan700 mg/kgBB terhadap cedera tubulus pada BBT ginjal tikus putih (Rattus norvegicus) galur Wistar  yang diinduksiMSG.Penelitian ini merupakan jenis penelitian quasi-experimental dengan rancangan randomized post test onlycontrolled group. Jumlah sampel sebanyak 25 BBT, terbagi menjadi lima kelompok, yaitu kontrol positif (K+),kontrol negatif (K-) dan kelompok perlakuan ekstrak daun kemangi (K1, K2 dan K3).Pada kelompok pemberianekstrak etanol daun kemangi terjadi penurunan cedera tubulus pada ginjal tikus putih (Rattus norvegicus) galur Wistar  yang diinduksi MSG 1,6 g/hari secara oral.  Dosis optimal ekstrak etanol daun kemangi padapenelitian iniyaitu 700 mg/kgBB. Uji statistik menuunjukkan perbedaan yang signifikan pada kelima kelompok (p<0,05). Pemberian ekstrak etanol daun kemangi (Ocimum basilicum L.) dapat mencegah terjadinya cedera tubulus padaginjal tikus putih (Rattus norvegicus) galur Wistar  yang diinduksi MSG.
