Pemberian Ekstrak Kacang Hijau (Phaseolus Radiatus) terhadap Peningkatan Hemoglobin dan Ferritin pada Wistar Putih Anemia

Mung bean, not only contain protein, carnohydrates, and fats, but also contains iron and vitamin C which are to overcome anemia in pregnant women. High iron levels are potential to increase ROS production through fenton reaction. Experiment to prove the administration of mungbean can increase Hb and ferritin levels in anemic rats. This research uses Post Test Only Control Group Design. A total of 25 anemic rats were divided into 5 groups : normal group (Nor-G), negative control group (Neg-G), were given low Fe diet; and treatment group with low and Fe and mung bean extract at dose of 0,8g/200g/day (GP-0,18), 0,36g/200g/day (GP-0,36), and 0,72g/200g/day (GP-0,72). Low Fe diet and mungbean extract were administered for 14 days. Hb level were measured using Sahli method, and ferritin level using immulite Ferritin Kit.Compare to Nor-G and Neg-G, levels of ferritin and Hb on groups with mung bean extract 0,18g (75,56). 0,36g (90,89) and 0,72g (95,87) were significantly higher (p< 0,05).
