%A KURNIASARI, MARIA DYAH %A DHARMANA, EDI %A GASSEM, MUHAMAD HUSEIN %D 2017 %T The Effectiveness of Garcinia Mangostana Peel Extract toward The Number of NK Cell and The Level of IFN-γ in HIV Patient General Hospital Cirebon %K %X Mangosteen peel contains xanthone as antioxidant, useful as prooxidant balancer. The activity of xathone can be found from the number of NK cells that will increase the production of IFN-γ cytokine. The human experimental research has been done by Randomized Control Group Pretest-Post Test Design, 20 patients sample for each group. Mann Whitney test was used to determine the diff erences between the group 1 & group 2. The Spearman’s Rho Test was used to determine the correlation between the NK cells number and IFN-γ level. There are no signifi cant diff erences between NK cell number (p:0.911) and IFN-γ level (p:0.588) in the pre and post test examination after have been given mangosteen peel extract. There are no signifi cant correlations between NK cell number and IFN-γ level in each group (p: 0.074). There are no eff ects of giving mangosteen peel extract on the number of NK cell and IFN-γ level to HIV patients. %U http://jifi.farmasi.univpancasila.ac.id/index.php/jifi/article/view/448 %J JURNAL ILMU KEFARMASIAN INDONESIA %0 Journal Article %P 25-30%V 15 %N 1 %@ 2614-6495 %8 2017-04-30
