Ethanol Extract Combinations Effect of Celery Herb (<i>Apium graveolens</i> L.) and Bay Leaf (<i>Syzygium polyanthum </i>W.) Toward Hypertensive Mice Induced by Sodium Chloride and High Fat Feed

Abstract

The combination of herb medicine is alternative option in hypertension because it has more potential for treatment with complications like hyperlipida. Plant which can be used for anti-hypertension therapy is combination of celery herb (Apium graveolens) and bay leaf ethanol extract (Syzygium polyanthum). This research aims to determine the activity of a combination of celery herb ethanol extract (CHEE) and bay leaf ethanol extract (BLEE) and find out how much the decrease of blood pressure on the combination of both toward hypertension with high fat Wistar mice. The design of this research used an experimental design with pre-post control group design. Hypertensive mice are induced with high fat feed and orally with sodium chloride 8%, then the mice are supplied with combinations extract with the dose of 1.125 ; 6.25 ; 2.25 ; 12.5 and 4.5 ; 25 mg/kg, hydrochlorotiazide 2.25 mg/kg, Simvastatin 0.9 mg/kg, CHEE 4.5 mg/kg, BLEE 25 mg/kg and CMC-Na 0.5%. Research result shows that the combination can decrease systole blood pressure in the 22nd day. The extract combination has anti-hypertension effect (it is able to decrease systole blood pressure ≥ 20 mmHg) and it is not significantly different with normal group (p<0.05). Based on the research, it can be concluded that ethanol extract combination can decrease systole blood pressure with high fat complications after using it for 22 days.
