Judul: Pengaruh Pemberian Pangan Antioksidan terhadap Kadar Malondialdehid dan Profil Lipid Darah pada Mahasiswi Pengonsumsi Gorengan
Abstrak: Consumption of fried foods can increase malondialdehyde (MDA), triglycerides, total cholesterol, and LDL cholesterol but decrease HDL cholesterol in blood plasma. Antioxidant foods such as green grass jelly drinks, tomato juice, papaya and tea can be an alternative to reduce those negative impacts. The objective of this study was to analyze the effect of antioxidant foods (green grass jelly drinks, tomato juice, papaya and black tea) on blood levels of MDA and lipid profile of coed consuming fried foods. The study was conducted with pre-post test control design. The antioxidant foods were given in a single serving size per day during 21 days. All of the subjects who consumed fried foods had high MDA levels in pre-intervention. The results of this study showed that MDA level in the group of green grass jelly drink decreased significantly (p<0.05). The statistical test of lipid profile levels also showed significantly increasing in LDL cholesterol in green grass jelly drinks group and HDL cholesterol in tomato juice group (p<0.05). Furthermore, total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol in tea group declined significantly (p<0.05). There was no effect of papaya intervention in MDA and lipid profile levels.

Judul: Konsumsi Buah dan Sayur serta Profil Lipid Darah pada Mahasiswa Penyuka Jajanan Gorengan
Abstrak: Tujuan penelitian ini adalah menganalisis hubungan konsumsi buah dan sayur dengan profil lipid (kadar trigliserida, kolesterol total, kolesterol LDL, dan kolesterol HDL plasma) pada mahasiswa penyuka jajanan gorengan. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian survei dengan jumlah subjek sebanyak 17 orang. Subjek adalah mahasiswa IPB aktif, memiliki status gizi normal, dan terbiasa mengonsumsi makanan jajanan gorengan minimal 2 porsi sehari. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa rata-rata konsumsi buah subjek sebanyak 152.4 g/hari (setara 2x/hari) yang telah memenuhi anjuran. Disisi lain, subjek belum memenuhi anjuran konsumsi sayur dengan rata-rata sebanyak 108.9 g/hari (setara 2.4x/hari). Berdasarkan uji korelasi Pearson, tidak terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara kebiasaan olahraga, konsumsi suplemen, asupan energi dan zat gizi, konsumsi buah dan sayur, serta asupan serat dengan kadar trigliserida, kolesterol total, kolesterol LDL, dan kolesterol HDL subjek (p>0.05). Namun demikian, berdasarkan kategori konsumsi buah dan sayur terdapat perbedaan kadar trigliserida (2.3 mg/dL), kolesterol total (-13.8 mg/dL), kolesterol LDL (-21.4 mg/dL), dan kolesterol HDL (14.2 mg/dL) pada subjek dengan konsumsi buah dan sayur yang cukup (total ≥5x/hari) dibandingkan subjek dengan konsumsi buah dan sayur yang kurang (total <5x/hari).

Judul: Posisi Filogenetik Kura-Kura Carettochelys Insculpta  (Reptillia: Testudinata)
Abstrak: Carettochelys insculpta is an endemic freshwater turtle of southern Papua and northern Australia. Phylogenetic position of this turtle is remain unresolved until now. Most of the research conducted show close relationships of C. insculpta and members of Trionychidae family. However, some of the research show distance between C. insculpta and members of Trionychidae family. This research is conducted to analyze phylogenetic relationship between C. insculpta and other members of Testudinata using 12S rRNA, 16S rRNA, and both gene as markers. DNA samples were obtained from three different organisms of C. insculpta. Two species used as outgroups were Alligator mississippiensis and Iguana iguana. Phylogenetic analysis was carried out using Neighbor-Joining method with Felsenstein 1981 (F81) modeltest. A polytomy tree of Testudinata was produced by using 12S rRNA gene. However, analysis using 16S rRNA and both genes as markers confirmed that C. insculpta was located between the Chelonidae and the Trionychidae family.
