Abstract :
Temu Ireng rhizome or Curcuma Aeruginosa Roxb is a plant that
contains bioactive compounds, namely flavonoids, tannins, and phenolics that
have many benefits, one of which is as an antipyretic.
This study aims to determine the antipyretic effect on rats induced by
yeast yeast at a dose of 25mg/200gBW; 50mg/200gBB; 100mg/200gBB. This
study used 25 male white rats as experimental animals which were divided into 5
groups, namely negative control (CMC Na 1%), positive control (Paracetamol
45mg/kgBW), and 3 treatment groups with ethanol extract of temu ireng rhizome
at a dose of 25mg/200gBW; 50mg/200gBB; 100mg/200gBB. The temperature of
the mice was measured every 30 minutes for 150 minutes after oral administration
which will be used as data for calculating AUC and the average AUC then
analyzed by normality test and One Way ANOVA test.
Based on the results of the study aimed to determine the antipyretic
effect on rats induced by yeast yeast at a dose of 25mg/200gBW; 50mg/200gBB;
100mg/200gBB. The difference in the dose of the temu ireng rhizome extract did
not cause any difference in effectiveness as an antipyretic in male white rats.
