EFEK KONSUMSI BIO-YOGHURT DARI LACTOBACILLUS RHAMNOSUS SKG34 TERHADAP LIPID PROFILE PADA MANUSIA

This research was carried out to elucidate the effect of consumption bio-yoghurt produced by Lactobacillus rhamnosus SKG34 on plasma lipid profiles in human. The study was performed using pre and post analysis. Eleven healthy volunteers aged between 30-48 years old were participated in this study. Each volunteers consumed 100g of bio-yoghurt containing L.rhamnosus SKG34 for 21 days. Blood samples were taken before the start of experiment and after 21 days of consumption. Total cholesterol was measured using CHOP-POD method, while triglyceride determined using glycerol method, LDL and HD determined using homogenous method. Results of the study revealed that consumption of the bio-yoghurt lower values of plasma lipid concentrations in hypercholesterolemia subjects. Total cholesterol, triglyceride and LDL was reduced within 4.91%, 13.84%, and 8.24%, respectively, when compare to its concentrations before treatment. However, the plasma lipid concentrations in normal subjects were almost stable during the treatment periods. Consumption of bio-yoghurt for 21 days had no effect on HDL-cholesterol level. These results indicate that consumption of bio-yoghurt containing L.rhamnosus SKG34 specifically lowered the concentrations of serum total cholesterol, LDL, and triglyceride on hypercholesterolemia subjects.
