Abstract
Objective: To determine the effect of administration of combination of purple sweet potato (Ipomoea Batatas L.) ethanolic extract and ramipril in a rat model of hypertension. Methods: This is an experimental study with a post-test only control group design and is a collaborative study of the effect of giving a combination of ethanol extract of purple sweet potato tuber (Ipomoea batatas L.) and ramipril in a rat model of hypertension. Thirty male Wistar rats were given 2 mL/day of 4% NaCl diet to induce hypertension. The rats were divided into 3 treatment groups, consisting of NaCl 4% 2 mL/day+combination therapy with purple sweet potato tuber ethanol extract 400 mg/kgBW/day and ramipril 1 mg/day, NaCl 4% 2 mL/day+purple sweet potato tuber ethanol extract 400 mg/kgBW/day and NaCl 4% 2 mL/day+ramipril 1 mg/day. At week 5, rat was executed to examine myocardial PDGF-A expression and measure myocardial collagen deposition. All the obtained data were analyzed statistically. Results: Administration of ethanolic extract of purple sweet potato 400mg/kgBW/day + ramipril 1mg/day significantly reduced myocardial PDGF-A expression compared to ethanolic extract of purple sweet potato alone (mean difference 14.17 pg/mLCI95% 2.36 – 25.98, P value = 0.016) or ramipril 1mg/day (mean difference 25.58 pg/mL; CI95% 17.07 – 40.09l, P value < 0.001). Administration of ethanolic extract of purple sweet potato 400mg/kgBW/day + ramipril 1mg/day significantly reduced myocardial collagen deposition when compared to administration of purple sweet potato alone (mean difference: 3.30%; CI 95% 1.97 – 4.64; P value <0.001). Administration of ethanolic extract of purple sweet potato combined with ramipril has higher potential effect in reducing myocardial PDGF-A expression and myocardial collagen deposition, compared to single therapy. Conclusion: Administration of ethanolic extract of purple sweet potato combined with ramipril was able to provide the best reduction in myocardial PDGF-A expression and myocardial collagen deposition.
