Judul: Effectivity Of Green Tea (Camellia sinensis) In Acidic Condition To Prevent Metabolic Syndrome Related Disorders In Sprague Dawley Rats.
Abstrak: Metabolic syndrome is a growing health problem all over the world, including Indonesia. It is characterized by at least 3 out of 5 criterias: abdominal obesity, high level of blood fasting glucose, hypertension, higher level of serum triglyceride and lower level of cholesterol HDL. Green tea (Camellia sinensis) is known to have beneficial effect on preventing metabolic syndrome related disorders. One of the mechanisms is through its antioxidative activity which is quite influenced by pH. The following study was aimed to investigate the effectivity of green tea in acidic condition against metabolic syndrome related disorders. Twenty female Sprague Dawley rats aged 10 weeks were randomly assigned to 4 treatments; (S) standard diet, (TL) high fat diet, (TLT) high fat diet and green tea extract, and (TLTA) high fat diet and green tea extract in acidic condition, for 10 weeks. It was found that green tea in acidic condition was as effective as green tea in usual condition in reducing weight gain, visceral fat accumulation and raising the plasma HDL cholesterol concentration. It was also found that green tea in acidic condition was not effective, unlike green tea in usual condition, to suppress blood pressure, but more effective in lowering plasma triglyceride. These results suggest that green tea in acidic condition has, in some aspects, the same effects as caused by green tea in usual condition, and different effects in the other aspects of metabolic syndrome.

Abstrak: Obesity will lead to many other degenerative diseases. One of the alternative solutions to prevent obesity is by inhibiting the digestion of lipids. Green tea extract has anti-lipase activity. This research aims to determine the effect of time (5, 10, and 15 minutes) and temperature (70, 85, and 100˚C) of green tea brewing and in vitro digestion on lipase inhibition. The research method is divided into two stages, green tea brewing and in vitro gastrointestinal pH simulation. Green tea extract is analyzed for anti-lipase activity, total phenol, and condensed tannin level. The results showed that the temperature and time of brewing influence the level of lipase inhibition, total phenol, and condensed tannin of green tea extract. The total phenols and condensed tannin level have a strong correlation with the lipase inhibition. The green tea initial extract (before in vitro digestion) in 85˚C for 5 min and 100˚C temperature in all the time showed the highest inhibition activity. But, after in vitro digestion, only green tea which brewed in 100˚C for 5 minutes and 10 minutes which had the best inhibition of lipase. There are no difference in significant level for inhibition activity between green tea brewed in 100˚C brewing temperature for 5 minutes and 10 minutes.

Abstrak: Ketimpangan pembangunan yang terjadi selama Orde Baru telah memicu disintegrasi bangsa, salah satu daerah yang diisukan terancam disintegrasi sebagai akibat ketimpangan pembangunan pada reszim orde baru adalah Provinsi Papua, sehingga untuk meredam aspirasi disintgrasi, dimasa reformasi Provinsi Papua ditetapkan sebagai daerah yang menerima Otonomi Khusus. Dengan adanya otonomi khusus ini diharapkan pemerintah daerah lebih leluasa mengabil kebijakan yang disesuaikan dengan aspirasi dan prioritas permasalahan yang dihadapi masyarakat.
