Abstract

Abstract: Weight is one measure that gives description of the tissue mass including body fluids. Weight change is nfluenced by nutriment consumption. Sago contains high carbohydrates that can increase body weight. This study aimed to obtain the effect of sago compared to rice to body weight of wistar rats. This was a random laboratory experimental pre-post test with control group design. Subjects were male wistar rats, aged 5-6 months. The rats were divided in two groups: rice group as control and sago group. Sago was cooked in papeda form as much as 75 g of dried sago and 300 mL water. The rats were fed for 2 weeks. Data were analyzed by using the Wilcoxon test. The results showed that the sago group showed an increase of body weight significantly (p=0,001) meanwhile the rice group lose body weight significantly (p=0,001). Conclusion: Sago can increase body weight of wistar rats significantly.

Abstrak: Berat badan merupakan salah satu ukuran yang memberikan gambaran massa jaringan termasuk cairan tubuh. Salah satu yang memengaruhi berat badan yaitu dengan mengonsumsi makanan bergizi. Sagu memiliki kandungan karbohidrat (pati) yang besar dan dapat meningkatkan berat badan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh pemberian sagu terhadap berat badan dibanding nasi pada tikus wistar. Desain penelitian ini ialah eksperimental laboratorium acak pre-post test with control group design. Subjek penelitian ialah tikus wistar jantan berusia 5-6 bulan dibagi atas 2 kelompok: kelompok nasi (kontrol) dan kelompok sagu. Sagu dimasak dalam bentuk papeda sebanyak 75 g sagu kering dan 300 mL air. Tikus diperlihara selama 2 minggu. Berat badan diukur dengan menggunakan timbangan. Data dianalisis dengan uji Wilcoxon. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pemberian sagu sebanyak 2 cc setiap hari selama seminggu mampu meningkatkan berat badan secara bermakna (p = 0,001) sedangkan pemberian nasi menurunkan berat badan (p=0,001). Simpulan: Pemberian sagu dapat meningkatkan berat badan tikus wistar secara bermakna.
