Influence of Phyllanthus niruri Linn. Extract Therapy on Renal and Uterus in 2% NaCl -induced Fibrotic Scarring Rodents
Abstract
Background
Phyllanthus niruri (english name : leafflower) extract is used in therapy of renal and uterus fibrotic scarring disease. Influence of alcohol extract of P. niruri on renal and uterus of 2% NaCl- induced fibrotic scarring rodents had been researched.
Aim of Study
Purpose of this research to study the influence of leafflower (Phyllanthus niruri Linn.) therapy on renal and uterus in 2% NaCl - induced fibrotic scarring rodents.
Methods
Wistar rodents were stimulated with 2% NaCl in drinking water to induce fibrotic scarring renal and uterus. Phyllanthus niruri extract (200 mg/kg) was given orally for 4 weeks. Matrix extracellular expression was determined by HE Staining and calculated by METAVIR fibrosis scarring score. The data of this study were analyzed by SPSS 16.
Results
- niruri extract was able to decrease the matrix extracellular in 2% NaCl-induced rodent compared to control group (p<0.05).
Conclusion
P. niruri extract was able to decrease the matrix extracellular in the renal and uterus of the rodents.
