Pengaruh Puasa Senin-Kamis Dan Daud Terhadap Kadar Asam Urat Darah Mencit

Abstract

Hyperuricemia is a condition where there is an increase in blood uric acid levels above normal. This disease is a strong predictor of death due to cardiovascular damage. One non-pharmacological way to prevent or treat this disease is by fasting. Therefore, this study aims to determine the effect of fasting on uric acid levels in the blood. This research is an experiment with Complete Random Design (CRD) method. The experimental animals used were mice aged 8-10 weeks and weighing 23-26 grams. The treatment given is (A) not fasting as a control, (B) fasting Monday-Thursday, (C) fasting Daud. The treatment was given for 36 days and the blood of the mice was taken and the uric acid level was measured. The data obtained were then analyzed using one way ANOVA SPSS statistical program with a significance level of 5%. The results showed that the sig value > 0.05, which means that the fasting Monday-Thursday and Daud did not affect the blood uric acid levels of mice.
