Judul: Teh herbal lempuyang gajah sebagai penurun lipid peroksida darah tikus hiperkolesterolemia
Abstrak: The lempuyang gajah herbal tea has been reported to reduce blood cholesterol concentration, but reports on its potency to reduced blood lipid peroxide concentration is not known. The objective of this research is to determine the potency of this mixture of lempuyang gajah (Zingiber zerumbet L.) and green tea (Camellia sinensis) as antioxidant in vivo, particularly in hypercholesterolemic condition. Twenty six rats were divided into normal group and cholesterol feed group. Cholesterol feed group (HK) were divided into 3 groups: hypercholesterolemic (HK I), herbal tea dosage 1 (HK II), herbal tea dosage 2 (HK III). Hypercholesterolemia was induced by cholesterol diet (1.5%) and PTU (0.01%) administered orally for 6 weeks. Afterward, animals were given cholesterol free standard diet. Extract of herbal tea were administered orally for another 4 weeks with dosage of lempuyang gajah:green tea= 1:2 (dosage 1) and 2.5:2 (dosage 2). Lipid peroxide concentration was analyzed in week-0,2,4,6,8, and 10 using spectrophotometry method at 533 nm. Cholesterol fat and PTU induction significantly (p<0.05) increased lipid peroxide concentration in blood of HK (40.31%) compared with normal group. Reduction in blood lipid peroxide concentration of HK III was more (40.50%) than HK II (32.57%) at the end of experiment.

Judul: Potensi Antihiperkolesterolemia Ekstrak Seduhan Teh Herbal Lempuyang Gajah (Zingiber zerumbet L.)
Abstrak: The objective of this research was to study the effectivity of herbal tea compositions of lempuyang gajah as antihypercholesterolemic agent. Extracts were tested in Sprague-Dawley male rats. Forty six rats were divided into four experimental groups as follow: normal, hyperlipidemic, herbal tea extract 1, and herbal tea extract 2. Rats were made hiperlipidemic by oral administration of propil tiouracil (0.5 mg/Kg BW) and high cholesterol feeding (1.5 % cholesterol). Total blood cholesterol concentrations were measured by cholesterol oxidase enzymatic methods of ‘CHOD-PAP’ using spectrophotometer at wavelenght 500 nm. Results showed that cholesterol diet increased blood cholesterol concentration by 76.11 % (p=0.004). Following free cholesterol diet (washed out period), blood cholesterol concentration was decreased by 43.82 % (p=0.101). Similarly, extract 1 reduced cholesterol concentration by 43.20 % (p=0.005). Antihyperlipidemic potency of extract 2 is higher than extract 1 as shown by significant reduction of cholesterol by 51.70 % (p=0.000).
