Abstract :
The liver is an organ as a place for metabolism and detoxification of toxins.
Liver disease in Indonesia ranks third with paracetamol as one of the causes,
because it is hepatotoxic if used in large and long-term doses, so that it is free
radicals, characterized by high levels of SGOT in the body causing cell damage,
but can be prevented by antioxidants, one of which found in broccoli. The
flavonoid content is thought to be antioxidant. The purpose of this study was to
determine the effect of broccoli juice on SGOT levels of wistar strain rats induced
by paracetamol. This experimental study used 30 rats, with 6 treatments namely
normal control (aquadest), positive control (silimarin), negative control
(paracetamol), and dose I broccoli juice (12,6 g / kgBW), dose II (25,2 g / kgBW),
and dose III (37,8 g / kgBW). The study was conducted 7 days, the 9th day was
taken a blood sample through the eye vein to identify SGOT levels and
macroscopic observation of the liver. Analysis of the data used is One Way Anova
because the data is homogeneous, followed by the Post Hoc Test to compare the
significance values between treatment groups. The results show that among the
three doses, dose III is the optimal dose in reducing SGOT levels, because
average SGOT levels of dose III with positive control the difference is not
significant or the same, so that the ability of dose III reducing SGOT levels is the
same as silimaryn.
