ABSTRACT
The aim of this study was to know the effect of Mimosa pudica root extract on
histopathological appearance of Rattus norvegicus brain induced by Naja sputatrix
venom. Thirty rats were divided into 5 groups. There were 2 control groups and 3
treatment groups, which was given 250, 500, and 1000 mg/kg BW of Mimosa pudica
root extract orally. The first 7 days each group was adapted to the environment. On the
8th day, the treatment was started by injecting Naja sputatrix LD50 (0,13 BW)
IM in gluteus muscle, continued with giving Mimosa pudica root extract orally for the
treatment groups 5 minutes after venom injection. 6 hours after the last treatment, rats
were killed by cervical dislocation, injected with formalin 10% in the heart, then
necropsied. Histopathological evaluation was done to score brain damage based on
meningitis, perivascular cuffing, and necrotic cells using HE stain with 1000x
magnification. The result showed 1000 mg/kg BW dosage of Mimosa pudica root extract
can reduce brain damage based on meningitis, perivascular cuffing, and necrotic cells in
Rat (Rattus norvegicus) caused by Naja sputatrix venom and gave significant difference
(p < 0.05) among the treatment groups.
