Pengaruh pemberian rumput laut sargassum sp terhadap kadar hemoglobin dan feritin serum
Abstract: Anemia is a global
phenomenon involving developing countries. Fifty percent of anemia cases is
caused by iron deficiency. Indonesia is a tropical country that is rich in
various kinds of marine plants and still not used optimally.Sargassum sp is one
of high iron contains seaweed but still less utilized.
Objectives: the aim of this study was to analyze the influence of
Sargassum sp on hemoglobin and serum ferritin level.
Methods : a simple randomized with pre and posttest control group design was
used in this study. Sixteen Wistar male rats were divided into 2 groups (1)
control (2) treatment and fed with Sargassum sp 0,49 g for 14 days. During the
treatment pre and post hemoglobin and serum ferritin was measured.
Results : : iron level in Sargassum sp was 122,37mg/g and Pb level was
0,00009%. In the treatment group hemoglobin level was significantly increased
5,24 mg/dl (p<0,05) and serum ferritin was increased 4,20 µg/ml (p>0,05).
Conclusion : sargassum sp increased hemoglobin level on anemic wistar rat
but not in serum ferritin significantly.
