- Abstract
Physical exercise is an activity carried out to maintain body health and fitness. However, optimal physical exercise will harm the body because it produces free radicals that can damage cells and body tissues. Gambir is a plant whose main component is catechin which functions as an antioxidant. Antioxidants in gambir can prevent the progression of heart disease and lipid peroxidation that produces malondialdehyde (MDA). This study aims to see the histology of the heart muscle of mice (Mus musculus L.) given maximum physical exercise and catechin of gambir (Uncaria gambir Roxb.) with concentrations of 80%, 90%, and 95%. The research was conducted at the Laboratory of Zoology and Anatomical Pathology, Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Andalas. The method used in making cardiac histology is the paraffin method with Hemaktoxilin-Eosin staining. Data were analyzed descriptively. The results showed that maximum physical exercise caused heart muscle damage. Furthermore, the higher the gambir catechin concentration, the better inhibiting free radical damage formed due to maximum physical exercise. The conclusion is that gambir catechin with a concentration of 95% with a dose of 100 mg is the best concentration and dose in repairing damage to the heart muscle.
