Obesity is characterized by the accumulation of excessive fat, potentially leading to degenerative diseases. Pancreatic lipase, an enzyme responsible for converting 50-70% of dietary fat into monoglycerides, free fatty acids, and various other smaller molecules, plays a crucial role in fat metabolism. Therefore, this study aimed to review selected Indonesian medicinal plants with the potential to inhibit the activity of the pancreatic lipase enzyme.

- This study investigates the antioxidant potential of the plant Justicia gendarussa (gendarussa) and how different nitrogen fertilizer doses affect its biological activity and secondary metabolite production.
- Gendarussa has shown promising antioxidant activity, and while higher nitrogen doses increased plant weight, the optimal dose for enhancing metabolites was found to be 90 kg/ha, as indicated by metabolomics analysis.
- Various assays (DPPH, ABTS, FRAP, CUPRAC) were utilized to assess antioxidant effects, revealing no significant differences across nitrogen treatments, and a total of 48 metabolites were identified, with Gendarusin A being a prominent one.
Determination of uric acid concentration in human urine and blood is needed to diagnose several diseases, especially the occurrence of kidney disease in gout patients. Therefore, it is needed to develop a simple and inexpensive method for uric acid detection. The purpose of the research was to observe the use of Indonesian microbe that was immobilized on natural zeolite as a source of uricase for uric acid biosensor.
