"Ruang Lingkup dan Cara Penelitian : Survai Kesehatan Rumah Tangga 1992, menunjukkan angka kematian penyakit kardiovaskular di Indonesia telah menduduki urutan pertama. Platelet mempunyai peranan dalam terbentuknya aterosklerosis yang merupakan penyebab terjadinya penyakit kardiovaskular. Asupan asam lemak tak jenuh w-3 dalam makanan sehari-hari dapat mempengaruhi fungsi platelet yang meliputi menurunkan agregasi platelet dan pembentukan Tromboksan A2 (TXA2). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menilai pengaruh suplementasi asam lemak tak jenuh w-3 terhadap agregasi platelet dan TXA2 pada orang sehat. Penelitian dilakukan tehadap 11 orang laki-laki sehat, berusia 30-55 tahun dan tidak merokok. Penelitian dilakukan dalam 3 periode yaitu periode pengamatan, periode suplementasi dan periode setelah suplementasi dengan masing-masing periode 21 hari lamanya. Dalam periode suplementasi, setiap subjek penelitian tiap hari mendapat 6 kapsul w-3 yang setara dengan 6 gram asam lemak tak jenuh w-3 dan mengandung 1080 mg EPA dan 720 mg DHA. Pada setiap awal periode dan pada akhir penelitian dilakukan pemeriksaan agregasi platelet dan TX A2. Pada saat yang lama juga dilakukan analisis asupan makanan. Hasil dan Kesimpulan : Nilai rata-rata agregasi platelet pada awal periode pengamatan, awal periode suplementasi, hari pertama dan hari ke 22 periode setelah suplementasi berturut-turut adalah 57,10 ± 7,91; 56,62 ± 10,15; 49,97 ± 10,24 dan 61,12 ± 7,8. Hasil uji t berpasangan terhadap agregasi platelet pada awal periode suplementasi dengan awal periode pengamatan menunjukkan tidak ada perbedaan yang bermakna (p>0,05). Hasil uji t berpasangan terhadap agregasi platelet pada hari pertama periode setelah suplementasi dengan awal periode suplementasi dan pada hari ke 22 dengan hari pertama periode setelah suplementasi ternyata terdapat perbedaan yang bermakna (p<0,05). Dengan demikian dapat disimpulkan bahwa asam lemak tak jenuh w-3 dapat menurunkan agregasi platelet pada orang sehat. Data kadar TXA2 dalam penelitian ini tidak dapat diperoleh dengan lengkap pada ke tiga periode. Hanya tiga data kadar TXA yang lengkap diperoleh dari ke tiga periode tersebut oleh karena itu, tidak dapat dilakukan analisis statistik terhadap kadar TXA2. Dengan demikian pengaruh asam lemak tak jenuh terhadap pembentukan TXA2 dalam penelitian ini belum dapat disimpulkan.

Scope and Method of Study : Household survey 1992, showed mortality rate of cardiovascular disease in Indonesia has become the highest. Platelets have a role in atherosclerosis formation leading to cardiovascular disease. Dietary intake of w-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids can influence platelet function including the decrease of platelet aggregation and thromboxane A2 (TXA2) formation. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of w-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids supplementation on platelet aggregation and TXA2 in healthy men. The subjects were 11 healthy men, 30 - 55 years of age and non smokers.

The study conducted in three periods ; the run in period, the supplementation period and the post supplementation period, which each of lasted 21 days. During the supplementation period, each subject was administered 6 omega-3 capsules which equal 6 grams of w-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids and containing 1080 mg EPA and 720 mg DHA. Platelet aggregation and TXA2 measurement were conducted at the beginning of each period and the end of the study. At the corresponding points of time dietary intake analysis were also carried out.

Findings and Conclusions : The mean value of platelet aggregation at the beginning of the run in period, the beginning of supplementation period, the first and the twenty second day of the post supplementation period were 57,10 ± 7,91; 56,62 ± 10,15; 49,97 ± 10,24 and 61,12 ± 7,82, respectively. T test dependent statistical analysis on platelet aggregation in the beginning of supplementation period against at the beginning of the run in period showed no significant change (p>0,05). T test dependent statistical analysis on platelet. aggregation at the first day of post supplementation period against at the beginning of supplementation period also at the twenty second day against the first day of the post supplementation period showed that there were significant change (p<0,05).

It can be concluded that in healthy men supplementation of w-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids decreased platelet aggregation. Data of TXA2 levels in this study could not be completely obtained from all the three periods. Since only three datas of TXA2 could be obtained completely, no statistical analysis could be made. The effect of supplementation of w-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids on TXA2 formation in this study is still inconclusive."

"Gangguan spectrum autisma GSA merupakan gangguan perkembangan neurologis pada anak di mana terdapat perubahan dalam metabolisme asam lemak tak Jenuh dengan rasio EPA Eicosapentaenoic Acid dan AA Arachidonic Acid yang tinggi yang menurunkan produksi ceruloplasmin Cp yang menyebabkan gejala-gejala perilaku dalam individu GSA. Oleh karena itu, gangguan sosial pada penderita GSA dapat ditangani dengan suplementasi AA. Dalam penilitian ini, akan dilihat kemampuan Aspergillus oryzae dalam memproduksi asam lemak dan PUFA dengan fokus pada AA dengan metode fermentasi tiga tahap serta konsentrasi glukosa optimum untuk propagasi miselium pada medium tahap satu dan akumulasi lipid pada medium tahap dua. Ekstraksi dlakukan dengan menggunakan klroform dan metanol. Hasil penelitian konsentrasi glukosa optimum untuk propagasi miselium adalah 60 g/L dengan berat biomassa kering 1,079 g. Sedangkan, untuk medium tahap dua konsentrasi glukosa yang optimum adalah 40 g/L dengan perbandingan berat lipid dan biomassa kering 17,18. Dengan metode fermentasi tiga tahap kadar asam lemak tak jenuh yang terbaik mencapai 64,43 dengan 31,67 asam lemak jenuh. Sedangkan produksi AA terbaik didapatkan pada kultur dengan konsentrasi glukosa 60 g/L pada medium tahap dua dengan 0,06.

Acid to AA Arachidonic Acid ratio, this decreases the production of ceruloplasmin Cp that can be cured from AA supplementation. The main source PUFA is fish oil, which is limited, thus an alternative source is needed. A possible source can be found in microorganisms.

In this paper Aspergillus oryzae is evaluated for its ability to produce fatty acids and AA with the three stage fermentation method as well as the optimum glucose concentration for the first and second stage of fermentation. The extraction of lipids is done with a mixtrure of chloroform and methanol.

The results of this research find the optimum glucose concentration for miscellium propagation in the first stage medium is 60 g L resulting in 1,079 g of dry biomass. On the other hand, the optimum glucose concentration for the second stage, which is the lipid accumulation stage is 40 g L resulting in 17,18 of lipid compared to the dry biomass. With the three stage fermentation method, the best unsaturated fatty acid content in the lipid produced is 64,43 with 31,67 of saturated fatty acid. While the highest amount of AA produced is 0,06 with 60g L of glucose in the second stage medium."

"Lemak menjadi nutrisi yang berperan penting dalam proses metabolisme. Sekitar 60% nutrisi yang dibutuhkan untuk perkembangan otak adalah berupa lemak. Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid (PUFA) yang terdiri dari omega-3 (linoleate) dan omega-6 (linolenat), merupakan asam lemak esensial yang digunakan untuk menjaga bagian-bagian struktural dari membran sel, serta mempunyai peran penting dalam perkembangan otak. Kapang adalah salah satu mikroorganisme oleaginous yang potensial sebagai sumber alternatif peghasil PUFA. Peneliti akan menggunakan Aspergillus oryzae sebagai mikroorganisme penghasil PUFA. Namun produksi single cell oil (SCO) dari mikroorganisme terhambat pada biaya operasional yang mahal, sehingga perlu adanya pemanfaatan limbah untuk menekan biaya operasional. Oleh karena itu, dalam penelitian ini digunakan limbah industri yaitu onggok tapioka dan ampas tahu sebagai medium kultivasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kandungan PUFA dalam lipid A. oryzae meningkat seiring peningkatan konsentrasi karbon. Persentase PUFA tertinggi berada pada konsentrasi karbon 6% (w/w), yaitu sebesar 60,8% (w/w). Pada variasi rasio C/N, persentase PUFA dalam lipid A. oryzae relatif menurun seiring dengan peningkatan rasio C/N. Persentase PUFA tertinggi berada pada rasio 30:1, yaitu sebesar 56,1% (w/w).

Fat is nutrients that play an important role in the metabolism process. About 60% of the nutrients needed for brain development is in the form of fat. Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids (PUFAs), which consists of omega-3 (linoleate) and omega-6 (linolenic acid), is an essential fatty acid that is used to maintain the structural parts of the cell membrane, and has an important role in brain development. Fungus is one of oleaginous microorganisms as a potential alternative source of PUFA producer. We will use the Aspergillus oryzae as PUFA-producing microorganisms. However, the production of single cell oil (SCO) of microorganisms is inhibited at high operational cost, thus we need for waste utilization to reduce the operational cost. Therefore, in this study, we used industrial waste, they are production waste of tapioca powder and tofu as cultivation medium. The result showed that the content of PUFAs in lipid A. oryzae increases with the concentration of carbon. The highest percentage of PUFA is at the carbon concentration of 6% (w/w), which amounted to 60.8% (w/w). In variations of C/N ratio, the percentage of PUFAs in lipid A. oryzae relatively decr"

"Pola makan, khususnya asupan asam lemak dapat merupakan informasi yang sangat berarti dalam memberikan pengertian atau penjelasan mengenai peranan hubungan diet dengan penyakit-penyakit kronis, khususnya pennyakit jantung koroner (PJK). Desain penelitian ini adalah “cross sectional”. Informasi dikumpulkan untuk dapat menggambarkan asupan nutrien khususnya asupan asam lemak pada 4 (empat) kelompok etnik yaitu: etnik Minangkabau, Sunda, Jawa dan Bugis. Persentase asam lemak jenuh terhadap total energi sekitar 20% pada keempak kelompok etnik ini.Persentase asam lemak tidak jenuh majemuk terhadap total energi berkisar diantara 4.4% sampai 4.6% pada kelompok etnik Sunda dan Jawa.Sedangkan pada kedua etnik lainnya, persentase asam lemak tidak jenuh majemuk terhadap total energi lebih rendah, 2.6% pada suku Minangkabau dan 2.8% pada suku Bugis. Persentase asam lemak tidak jenuh tunggal terhadap total energi lebih tinggi pada etnik Sunda dan Jawa (6.1% vs 5.5%) Sedangkan persentase asam lemak tidak jenuh tunggal terhadap total energi pada kedua etnik lainnya Minangkabau dan Bugis lebih rendah (2.6% vs 2.8). Berdasarkan ratio dari asam lemak tidak jenuh majemuk dengan asam lemak tidak jenuh tungal dan dengan asam lemak jenuh, dapat disimpulkan bahwa suku Minangkabau dan Bugis memiliki kualitas pola diet asupan lemak yang kurang baik. Selain kurang baiknya pola diet asuapan lemak, suku Minangkabau juga mengkomsumsi total asupan lemak yang cukup tinggi, dengan demikian dapat disimpulkan bahwa suku Minangkabau mempunyai risiko tinggi terhadap dislipidemia dibandingkan dengan ketiga kelompok etnik lainnya.

The use of dietary pattern specifically fatty acids intake should prove to be an informative and powerful means to augment our understanding of the role of diet in chronic disease particularly CHD. Cross sectional study was implemented to describe the nutrients intake specifically fatty acids intake of 4 (four) ethnic groups in Indonesia, such as Minangkabau, Sundanese, Javanese and Buginese. The percentage of saturated fatty acid (SAFA) to total energy intakes were around 20%. The percentage of polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) to the total energy were about 4.4% to 4.6% among the Sundanese and the Javanese.While among the other two ethnic groups, the percentage of PUFA to total energy were less, 2.6 % among the Minangkabau and 2.8% among the Buginese ethnic. The percentage of mono unsaturated fatty acid (MUFA) to total energy intake were higher among the two ethnic groups, Sundanese and Javanese (6.1% vs. 5.5%). While the percentages of MUFA between the other two ethnic groups Minangkabau and Buginese ethnic were lower (2.6% vs. 2.8%). Based on the ratio of PUFA: MUFA: SAFA, we could consider that Minangkabau and Buginese ethnic groups both had poor quality of dietary fat pattern. Having the poor quality of dietary fat pattern and higher fat intake, we might take into consideration that the Minangkabau ethnic groups, had higher risk toward dyslipidemia compared to the other three ethnic groups.
