PENGARUH PEMBERIAN JAMUR KUPING HITAM (Auriculariapolytricha) TERHADAP KADAR KOLESTEROL TOTAL, LDL (Low Density Lipoprotein), dan HDL (High Density Lipoprotein) SERUM TIKUS WISTAR YANG DIINDUKSI MINYAK JELANTAH

Abstract

Background:The usage of reused cooking oil affects the increase of serumtotal cholesterol (TC) and LDL, also the decrease of serumHDL. This condition escalatesthe risk of atherosclerosis, which couldlead to the incidence of cardiovascular disease. Cloud ear fungus is a natural antioxidant that contains polysaccharides, flavonoids, niacin, and vitamin C, which can improve the lipid profiles. Objective: To analyze the impact of water from boiled cloud ear fungus on total cholesterol, LDL, and HDL level of Wistar ratsthat have been given reused cooking oil. Methods:This study is a true experimental research with post test only control group design, using 12 weeks-aged male Wistar rats (n = 24) that were randomly divided into 4 groups. K1 as the negative control, K2 was given reused cooking oil and standard diet, K3 was given water from boiled cloud ear fungus and standard diet, and K4 was given reused cooking oil, water from boiled cloud ear fungus and standard diet. Serum total cholesterol, LDL, and HDL levels were measured by the CHOD-PAP method after 28 days treatment. Results:TC mean value of K1 (80.2217 ± 3.61 mg / dL), K2 (195.8483 ± 5.47 mg / dL), K3 (75.5800 ± 4.02 mg / dL), and K4 ( 110.8683 ± 5.82 mg / dL); p = 0.000. LDL mean value of K1 (29.9200 ± 1.53 mg / dL), K2 (78.4167 ± 1.77 mg / dL), K3 (24.3167 ± 1.77 mg / dL), and K4 (40, 1617 ± 2.84 mg / dL); p = 0.000. HDL mean value of K1 (65.8950 ± 1.99 mg / dL), K2 (24.3233 ± 1.44 mg / dL), K3 (73.2300 ± 1.92 mg / dL), and K4 (54 , 9550 ± 2.04 mg / dL); p= 0.000. Conclusion:Water from boiled cloud ear fungus decreases the serum total cholesterol and LDL, and increasesserum HDL levels ofWistar rats that has been given reused cooking oil.
