Abstract

The purposes of this research were: (1) to determine levels of SGOT (Serum Glutamate Oxaloacetate Transferase) of wistar rats after being given preserved tofu using water/aquadest, formalin, and turmeric extract with various concentrations, and (2) to identify histopathology images of rat liver after being given tofu which is preserved using formalin, turmeric extract, and soaked with water/aquadest. This true experimental research was designed with Randomized Post Test Only Control Group Design. The sample used was male white rat (Rattusnorvegicus) wistar strain of 40 individuals. SGOT levels were analysed using one way ANOVA statistic test and histopathology images of rat liver were analysed descriptively. The results of this research show that: (1) there has been different SGOT levels among male white rat (Rattusnorvegicus) wistar strain due to preserved tofu using turmeric extract withvarious concentrations of 20%, 40%, and 60%, (2) hepatic tissue structure of rats that is given tofu with turmeric extract 40% and 60% suffered from structural damage of its liver, while the rats given with tofu with turmeric extract 20% obtained a normal liver cell structure.
