- Abstract
Changes in the kidneys can lead to increased blood pressure, which can be followed by an increase in cortisol levels. Subtotal nephrectomy is one of the methods to provide animal models of hypertension. The combination of kefir milk and jicama as a synbiotic drink is expected to maintain cortisol under normal levels in hypertensive conditions. Aim: This study aims to determine the effect of kefir and jicama synbiotic beverage on rats’ serum cortisol levels after a subtotal nephrectomy procedure. Methods: Male Wistar rats were divided into five groups, i.e. a group of subtotal nephrectomy, sham group, and three synbiotic groups receiving subtotal nephrectomy procedure and synbiotics with differences in composition (Syn 1, Syn 2, and Syn 3). The serum cortisol levels were measured with ELISA after a month of kefir and jicama synbiotic administration. The results were analyzed statistically using one-way ANOVA. Results: The serum cortisol levels (ng/mL) were 165.49 ± 33.73, 150.90 ± 51.54, 158.77 ± 27.17, 119.64 ± 79.20, and 168.06 ± 19.19 respectively for subtotal nephrectomy, sham group, Syn 1, Syn 2, and Syn 3 groups. The one-way ANOVA statistical analysis obtained a p = 0.386, which showed no significant differences between groups. The administration of kefir and jicama as a synbiotic beverage has no significant effects on rat's serum cortisol levels after subtotal nephrectomy.
