Hepatoprotective effect study of forest honey had been conducted on a female rat induced with carbon tetrachloride (CCl4). The study aimed at obtaining the scientific data and the evidence of forest honey as hepatoprotective agent on the rat. The study was a true experimental study with a single factor completely randomized design. Thirty rats were randomly divided into six groups (n=5). Group I received carbon tetrachloride 2.0 mL/kgBW intraperitoneally, group II received olive oil 2.0 mL/kgBW intraperitoneally, group III received forest honey 8.1 mL/kgBW (6 days, peroral), groups IV, V, VI were given forest honey 3.6, 5.4, 8.1 mL/kgBW (6 days, peroral) and intraperitoneal induction of carbon tetrachloride 2 mL/kgBW on seventh day. The blood sample of all rats were taken for ALT-AST measurement and their liver were sampled for histological examination of the liver cell. Groups I and III on the seventh day, group II on the second day, groups IV,V,VI on the eighth day. The result showed that a forest honey can be used as a hepatoprotective agent on the female rat Wistar strain induced by carbon tetrachloride 2 mL/kgBW with doses 3.6, 5.4, 8.1 mL/kgBW. Keywords: ALT-AST, carbon tetrachloride, forest honey, liver histopathology 3,6; 5,4; 8,1 mL/kgBB (6 hari, p.o) 3,6; 5,4; dan 8,1 mL/kgBB.
ABSTRAK
Telah dilakukan penelitian efek hepatoprotektif madu hutan pada tikus betina terinduksi karbon tetraklorida (CCl4) dengan tujuan membuktikan efek hepatoprotektif madu hutan pada tikus galur wistar yang diinduksi karbon tetraklorida. Jenis penelitian ini adalah eksperimental murni dengan rancangan acak lengkap pola searah. Tiga puluh ekor tikus dibagi secara acak ke dalam enam kelompok (n=5). Kelompok I diberi karbon tetraklorida 2,0 mL/kgBB secara intraperitoneal (i.p). Kelompok II diberi olive oil 2,0 mL/kg BB secara i.p. Kelompok III diberi madu hutan 8,1 mL/kgBB (6 hari, peroral (p.o)); kelompok IV, V, VI diberi madu hutan
