Abstract

This study aimed to determine the potential of Tali bamboo leaf tea (Gigantochloa apus) on the lipid profile of metabolic syndrome rats. This study is an laboratory-based experimental study using 30 male Wistar rats with metabolic syndrom aged 8 weeks and weighed 150–250 g, that were divided into 5 groups namely negative control (K-), positive control (K+), and three intervention groups with intervention doses of bamboo leaf tea at 300, 600, and 900 mg/200 g BW for 28 days. The results showed that there were significant differences (p<0.05) in High- Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (HDL-C) and Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL-C) levels before and after intervention. Tali bamboo leaf tea has the potential to improve the lipid profile of rats with metabolic syndrome (p<0.001).
