Stress oxidative is marked by various parameters, one of which is malondialdehyde (MDA). As natural plant, solo garlic has a potential as antioxidant because contain a lot of active compounds. This study determines the effect of solo garlic on MDA level of Rattus norvagicus which exposed to cigarette smoke.

Twenty-five rats were included and divided into five groups, such as negative control, positive control, and the treatment groups. Solo garlic administrated at doses of doses of 2.5, 5, and 10 (mg/200gBW/day) respectively. The statistical result showed that solo garlic extract can reduce the MDA level of treatment groups (p=0.000). This study concluded that solo garlic extract can reduce the MDA levels of rats to cigarette smoke. The significant effect was obtained at a dose of 10 mg/200gBW/day.
