Abstrak: The bark of mahogany (Swietenia macrophylla King) contains bioactive compounds, which has been reported as an antioxidant. But there had been very few in vivo evidence of the antioxidant effectiveness on the liver lipid peroxidation in hyperuricemic rats. This study aimed to test the effect of mahogany (Swietenia macrophylla King) bark extracts against lipid peroxidation in hyperuricemic rat liver. Thirty three rats were divided into 5 groups, namely normal, hyperuricemic (HU), allopurinol (HU I), aqueous extract (HU II) and methanol extract (HU III). Hyperuricemic induction was carried out by giving the juices of chicken liver and sodium carboxyl methyl cellulose 0.5%. The induction was administered orally for 4 weeks with dosage of 25 g/kg BW. Afterwards, rat were administered by aqueous extract and methanol extract at 500 mg/Kg BW day for 7 days. Liver lipid peroxides analysis was determined by using thiobarbituric acid (TBA) method. The results showed that the lipid peroxide concentrations of hyperuriemic, allopurinol and methanol extracts group were 101.51 ± 54.74 nmol/gram, 108.55 ± 45, nmol/g and 101.04 ± 26.68 nmol/gram, respectively. The aqueous extract has the antioxidants effect on rat liver lipid peroxidation with the concentration of 63.57 ± 16.84 nmol/g, smaller than that of the normal group (93.83 ± 29.55 nmol/gram). Statistically, the aqueous extract tend to decrease the liver lipid peroxide concentration of hiperuricemic rat by 32.25% (p = 0.054).

Judul: Peroksidasi Lipid pada Tikus Hiperkolesterolemia selama Pemberian Ekstrak Kulit Batang Mahoni (Swietenia macrophylla)
Abstrak: Mahogany’s bark is known as wood industrial waste that contains potential secondary metabolites. However, its potency as an antioxidant, especially in rats which are subjected to hypercholesterolemic treatment, has not been carried out. The aim of this study was to test the effect of mahogany’s water extract consumption on the concentration of lipid peroxides in hypercholesterolemic rats. Thirty five male rats were divided into 5 groups (n=7) namely normal group fed with standard rat chow, hypercholesterolemic group (HK) fed with cholesterol chow (1,5%) and PTU (0,5 mg/KgBW), lovastatin group (HK+lovastatin 0,2857 mg/KgBW), E1 group (HK+ mahogany’s extract 4,2 mg/KgBW), and E2 group (HK+mahogany’s extract 21 mg/KgBW). Experiments were carried out for 8 consecutive weeks. The concentration of lipid peroxides in blood were measured with thiobarbituric acid assay at week 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8 using spectrophotometer. Cholesterol chow (0.86%) and PTU increased the lipid peroxides concentration of HK group by 20.92% compared to the normal group (3.380±0.436 nmol/mL). However, it is not statistically significant (p=0.239). The lipid peroxides concentration in E1 and E2 weren’t increased and relatively similar to normal group at concentration of 2.353±0.196 nmol/mL, 2.786±0.256 nmol/mL, and 2.673±0.279 nmol/mL, respectively. Although it is not statistically significant, both doses of extracts tend to prevent the lipid peroxidation in the rat’s blood.

Judul: Analisis Struktur Atas Gedung Diploma IPB terhadap Beban Gempa Berdasarkan SNI 03-1726-2002 dan SNI 03-1726-2012
Abstrak: Gedung Diploma IPB masih menggunakan SNI 03-1726-2002 dalam perencanaan strukturnya. SNI tersebut kemudian diubah seiring dengan keluarnya peraturan baru yang termuat dalam SNI 03-1726-2012. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah mengetahui ketahanan struktur atas gedung Diploma IPB terhadap beban gempa ditinjau berdasarkan waktu getar alami dan partisipasi massa, mengetahui besarnya gaya geser dasar seismik, dan membandingkan besarnya simpangan berdasarkan kedua SNI. Partisipasi massa arah X yang dihasilkan yaitu sebesar 0.9417 pada modal ke 9 dan 0.9006 pada modal ke 12 pada arah Y. Kedua nilai tersebut telah memenuhi kedua standar SNI. Waktu getar alami telah memenuhi standar SNI 2002, namun belum memenuhi standar SNI 2012. Gaya geser dasar dinamik yang dihasilkan berdasarkan SNI 2012 sebesar 1599.6606 kN akibat gempa arah X dan 1223.5794 kN akibat gempa arah Y, sedangkan berdasarkan SNI 2002 untuk arah X sebesar 1544.5109 kN dan untuk arah Y sebesar 1544.8304 kN. Simpangan antar lantai telah memenuhi persyaratan kedua standar SNI. Struktur Gedung Diploma IPB telah memiliki kekakuan yang cukup dan terhitung boros, sehingga seharusnya dapat direncanakan dengan lebih hemat biaya.
