Anti-Choloseterol Activities of White (Raphanus Raphanistrum) and Red (Raphanus Sativus) Radish Roots

Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this research is to explore the in vitro activities of white (Raphanus raphanistrum) and red (Raphanus sativus) radish root ethanol extract in decreasing cholesterol levels.
 Methods: Ultrasonification method was used in obtaining 96% ethanol extract of white and red radish root. The cholesterol levels were analyzed by visible spectrophotometry, which was validated using Lieberman-Buchard reagents. The decreased cholesterol levels were converted into IC50 values.
 Results: The results showed that the IC50 of 96% white and red radish root ethanol extracts were 743.7 and 634.7 µg/ml, respectively. The results of statistical analysis using the T-test obtained a significant value greater than the probability value (P) of 0.05.
 Conclusion: Therefore, it was concluded that the activities of 96% ethanol extract of white and red radish roots did not have a significant ability to reduce the in vitro cholesterol levels.

Hyperbolic Graded Index Biophotonic Cholesterol Sensor with Improved Sensitivity

“…Therefore, it is crucial to check your cholesterol levels regularly. Numerous methods have been used to measure the level of cholesterol, including colorimetric [16], spectrophotometry [17], and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) [18]. Still, the 1D photonic crystal resonator-based sensor is favoured chiefly because of its real-time monitoring, miniaturization, high sensitivity, and wide range of applications.…”
