Saat hipoksia, tubuh memproduksi radikal bebas yang berbahaya bagi tubuh. Radikal bebas, salah satunya, dapat menyerang protein sehingga menghasilkan dikarbonil. Namun, terdapat mekanisme adaptasi tubuh yang mungkin diinduksi hipoksia hipobarik intermiten, termasuk antioksidan yang melindungi tubuh dari radikal bebas dan dapat dilihat, salah satunya dengan penurunan produksi dikarbonil. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan desain eksperimental dengan melibatkan 25 ekor tikus yang dibagi ke dalam 5 kelompok, yakni kelompok Hipoksia Hipobarik Intermiten (HHI) 7 kali, kelompok HHI 14 kali, kelompok HHI 21 kali, kelompok HHI 28 kali, dan kelompok kontrol. Terjadi fluktuasi kadar dikarbonil dan dapat terlihat tren perubahan kadar dikarbonil antara kelompok-kelompok perlakuan walaupun hasil uji statistik tidak memiliki perbedaan signifikan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan tidak adanya perbedaan yang signifikan dari kadar dikarbonil pada jaringan hati tikus di kelompok yang diberikan perlakuan hipoksia hipobarik intermiten dengan kelompok kontrol sehingga hipotesis “jumlah paparan hipoksia hipobarik intermiten yang berbeda mengakibatkan perbedaan kadar dikarbonil yang bermakna pada jaringan hati tikus” dan adanya efek perlindungan HHI terhadap radikal bebas tidak terbukti.
During hypoxia, the body produces free radicals which are harmful to the body. Free radicals can attack proteins to produce dicarbonyl. However, there are body adaptation mechanisms that may be induced by intermittent hypobaric hypoxia, including antioxidants that protect the body from free radicals and can be seen, one of which is by decreasing dicarbonyl production. This study was conducted using an experimental design involving 25 rats which were divided into 5 groups, namely the Intermittent Hypobaric Hypoxia (HHI) group 7 times, the HHI group 14 times, the HHI group 21 times, the HHI group 28 times, and the control group. Fluctuations in dicarbonyl levels occurred and a trend of changes in dicarbonyl levels could be seen between the treatment groups, although the results of the statistical tests did not have a significant difference. The results showed that there was no significant difference in dicarbonyl levels in rat liver tissue in the group that was given intermittent hypobaric hypoxia treatment with the control group so that the hypothesis "different amounts of intermittent hypobaric hypoxia exposure resulted in significant differences in dicarbonyl levels in rat liver tissue" and there was an effect HHI's protection against free radicals is not proven. |
