PERSENTASE LEMAK PADA ORGAN HATI TIKUS JANTAN (Sprague Dawley) OBES YANG DIBERI TEPUNG BUAH NAGA MERAH (Hylocereus polyrhizus) DAN OLAHRAGA RENANG
Abstract: The purpose of this
study was to determine the effects of red dragon fruit (Hylocereus polyrhizus)
powder and swimming exercise on fat distribution in the liver organ of white
male rats model with obesity. The design of this study was experimental study
with randomly factorial design. There were 24 rats divided into two groups, 20
rats were induced to be obese by giving high fat diet, and 4 rats were given
standard diet. For intervention period (4 weeks) 20 obese rats were divided
into 5 groups namely (1) standard diet (SD), (2) high fat diet (HFD), (3) high
fat diet plus swimming exercise (HFD+SE), (4) high fat diet plus red dragon
fruit powder (HFD+RDFP), and (5) high fat diet plus red dragon fruit powder
plus swimming exercise (HFD+RDFP+SE). Research results showed that fat
distribution and visceral fat weight were different significantly among
intervention groups (p<0.05). The lowest percentage of fat distribution was
occured in RDFP+HFD+SE group (21.44%) and the lightest weight of central fat
was also occurred in the same group (7.73 g). This study showed that in four
weeks intervention, red dragon fruit powder and swimming exercise had a
relatively similar clinical effects on reducing percentage of fat in the liver
and visceral fat weight.
