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

  1. 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.
