SupartoI.H. SadiahS. MatsuokaR. MitsunagaT. 1220131619Zingiber zerumbet contained the typically essential
oils. The research aims to evaluate the effect Z. zerumbet essential
oil and zerumbone inhlation on rats body weight, food consumption, parasympathetic
nerve activity and brown adipose tissue temperature. The essential oils of Z.
zerumbet was isolated from the rhizome of Z. zerumbet. The component
in the oil and zerumbone structure was determined by gas chromatography-mass
spectroscopy. The structure of zerumbone crystal was determined by nuclear magnetic
resonance spectroscopy. The Sprague dawley male adult rats were divided
into 4 groups namely Normal Diet (ND) group, High Fat Diet (HFD) group, HFD
inhaled Z. zerumbet essential oils group and HFD inhaled zerumbone group.
The results showed that inhalation of Z. zerumbet essential oils and
zerumbone increased the food consumption as well as increased the body weight.
The increasing body weight of rats which inhaled Z. zerumbet essential
oils and zerumbone is by decreasing the sympathetic nerve activity. In conclusion,
inhaling Z. zerumbet essential oils and zerumbone as the major component
of the oils increased the weight gain.]]>Abdul, A.B., S.I. Abdel-Wahab, A.S. Al-Zubairi, M.M. El-Hassan and S.M. Murali,2008Zingiber zerumbut.]]>4301304Abdul, A.B.H., A.S. Al-Zubairi, N.D.
