Abstract :
Intoxication of lead during pregnancy can increase the levels of Reactive Oxygen Species(ROS) that disrupts the physiological maternal pregnancy and embryonic development. Red fruit(Pandanus conoideus Lam.) was able to reduce levels of ROS because it contains carotenoidsand tocopherols which act as antioxidants. The purpose of this study was to find out the influenceof red fruit oil to increase litter size and decreased incidence of congenital defects in lead inducedpregnant mice. Mice were grouped into five groups, those are negative control, postive controlthat was induced by lead 0,011 mg/20 g BW orally as well as P1, P2, P3 that were induced bylead 0,011 mg/20 g BW and red fruit oil dose of 12 mg/kg BW, 24 mg/kg BW, 48 mg/kg BW.Results of this study were analyzed using ANOVA and Duncan test. The results showed a higherlitter size and congenital defects lower in lead induced pregnant mice with red fruit oil comparedto the positive control. The conclusion of this study is red fruit oil can increase litter size anddecrease the incidence of congenital defects in lead induced pregnant mice through an atioxidantmechanism.
