which can be used for overcoming the obesity is by consuming VCO (Virgin Coconut Oil). This study want to know the efficacy of VCO, due to decrease the body weight. This study is a preclinical unrandomized control trial design. Twenty five male Spraque- Dawley strain rats (Rattus norvegicus), 4 months age and ± 300 grams body weight are used for subjects. These rats are divided into 5 groups : positive and negative control, and three groups for treatment groups which are given by fat first. The dosage given is the conversion of human dosage, they are 50 cc/day, 25 cc/day, and 12,5 cc/day. VCO given orally everyday for 28 days then the body weight were measured every 7 days as long as 28 days, the pigs will also measured everyday. Body weight and food intake data are analyzed with Kruskal-Wallis test continued with Mann-Whitney test and also paired t-test for intragroup (before and after). Based on this study, it could be known that VCO can decrease body weight. Dose II (25 cc/ day) is the best in decreasing body weight although in between groups analyzing it has no differences with dose I (50 cc/days). The decreasing of rat ’s body weight is not influence by appetite because the food intake is constant.
Obesitas dapat menyebabkan banyak masalah kesehatan, hipertensi misalnya. Salah satu alternatif diet yang dapat dipertimbangkan untuk mengatasi obesitas adalah dengan mengkonsumsi VCO (Virgin Coconut Oil). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui manfaat VCO dalam membantu menurunkan berat badan. Penelitian ini berjenis eksperimental praklinik dengan rancangan unrandomized control trial. Sampel dalam penelitian ini berjumlah 25 ekor tikus putih galur Spraque-Dawleyjantan, umur 4 bulan dan berat badan rata-rata 300 gram. Tikus dibagi menjadi 5 kelompok yaitu kontrol positif dan negatif serta tiga kelompok perlakuan yang digemukkan terlebih dahulu. Dosis yang diberikan adalah hasil konversi dosis manusia, yaitu 50 cc/hari, 25 cc/hari, dan 12,5 cc/hari. VCO diberikan peroral setiap hari selama 28 hari kemudian ditimbang sisa pakannya selama itu sedangkan berat badannya dicatat setiap 7 hari sekali. Data selisih berat badan dan intake pakan dianalisis dengan uji Kruskal-Wallis dilanjutkan dengan uji Mann-Whitney untuk menganalisa hasil antarkelompok. Uji t berpasangan dilakukan untuk menganalisa hasil intrakelompok (sebelum dan sesudah perlakuan). Dari hasil penelitian ini disimpulkan bahwa VCO dapat menurunkan berat badan tikus putih yang telah digemukkan terlebih dahulu. Dosis II (25 cc/hari) adalah dosis terbaik dalam menurunkan berat badan walaupun pada analisis antarkelompok tidak terdapat perbedaan bermakna dengan kelompok dosis I (50 cc/hari). Penurunan berat badan tikus putih ini tanpa dipengaruhi oleh nafsu makan karena intake pakan stabil.
