Potency of lemon peel ethanolic extract (Citrus limon L.) as alternative drug for hypercholesterolemia in hyperglycemic wistar rat
Abstract
Lemon (Citrus limon L) empirically has been used by the community to lose weight. Besides lemon juice is also believed to be able to reduce blood cholesterol levels. This study aims to determine the potential of ethanol extract of lemon peel as an alternative medicine for hypercholesterolemia in hyperglycemic wistar rats using the protection method. The process of extracting lemon peel is done by maceration method. All rats were given a test preparation according to their group (control, lemon ethanol extract, compared to simvastatin) together with intervention of fructose 60% mixed in the food for 6 weeks. Examination of total cholesterol levels is carried out every week. The test results showed that the ethanol extract of lemon peel was able to inhibit the increase of total cholesterol levels in hyperglycemic wistar rats. The ethanol extract of lemon peel doses of 70 mg / kg bw showed the best results which were significantly different than the control group (p <0.05) in this study. Thus, the ethanol extract of lemon peel has the potential to be used as an alternative drug for hypercholesterolemia.
