TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that these fatty acids in Sterculia foetida oil would decrease hatchability in eggs and that feeding sterculene, sterculyl ether or sterculia foetIDA esters, prepared from Stercula foetia oil, also caused the pink discoloration phenomenon in eggs.

TL;DR: In MES Model, ethanolic extract of Sterculia Foetida significantly decreased the duration of tonic clonic seizures and recovery time, and in PTZ Model the onset of seizures was delayed and the percentage of inhibition was 66%.
Abstract: Objective: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the anti convulsant property of aqueous extract of Sterculia Foetida in Pentylenetetrazole (PTZ) and MES induced convulsions in experimental models. Materials & Methods: The purpose of this study is to explore the anticonvulsant activity of ethanolic extract of Sterculia Foetida using Pentylenetetrazole and maximal electric shock induced convulsions in rats. MES Model: rats were divided into 4 groups of 6 rats each. GROUP-I (NC) received 2% GA 2ml, GROUPII (STD) received Phenytoin 25mg/kg, GROUP-III, IV received low dose (250 mg/kg) & high dose (500 mg/kg) of Sterculia Foetida respectively orally Convulsions were produced in all groups by giving maximal electric shock of 150 mA for 0.2sec after 1 hour of giving test and standard drugs orally. Tonic clonic seizures were produced after giving electric shock. Recovery time was noted. The percentage of inhibition of convulsions by drugs was measured and compared between the control, standard and test. PTZ model: Rats were divided and test drugs were given same as above model but standard drug was Sodium valproate (50mg/Kg). Convulsions were induced by giving the Pentylenetetrazole IP 1 hr after giving test and standard drugs intraperitonially (IP). The onset of convulsions, duration of action, and type of seizures were noted and compared between standard and test groups. Results: In MES Model, ethanolic extract of Sterculia Foetida significantly (p<0.001) decreased the duration of tonic clonic seizures and recovery time. The percentage of inhibition was 66%. In PTZ Model the onset of seizures was delayed (p<0.002) with low and

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of media treatment and sulfuric acid concentration on germination of seed kepuh (Sterculia foetida Linn) was investigated in a randomized block design with 2 factorials, 3 repetitions and 24 treatment combinations.
Abstract: Kepuh ( Stercukia foetida Linn) is a species that can serve as the greening plants for soil conservation and hydrology. This study aims to determine the effect of media treatment and sulfuric acid concentration on germination of seed kepuh ( Sterculia foetida Linn). The study was conducted from March to April 2017. Experiments were performed in a randomized block design with 2 factorials, 3 repetitions and 24 treatment combinations. The results showed, the combination of the media treatment and the concentration of sulfuric acid on the percentage of germination, the rate of germination, and the kepuh seed vigor index was in the A4B3 treatment. Where A4B3 treatment using cocopeat medium with seeds first soaked in 15% sulfuric acid solution for 15 minutes gives the best results.

TL;DR: The aims of this study are to prove the effectiveness of Sterculia foetida in lowering cholesterol, triglyceride and reduce the amount of foam cell s on high-fat- diet induced rats, and to reduce the amounts of foam cells on aorta.
Abstract: Cardiovascular disease causes the highest mortality rate in the world. Atherosclerotic plaque is the most common etiology of cardiovascular disease. High levels of cholesterol in circulation is the pathophysiology of atherosclerosis formation. A therosclerosis risk can be lowered to 20-40% with statins. Statins are effective in lowering total and LDL cholesterol, but these drugs have been reported to cause side effects . Therefore, it needed an alternative medicine to prevent the process of atherosclerosis using kepuh leaves (Sterculia foetida) . Flavonoids contained in Kepuh leave s improve lipid profiles. Th e aims of this study is to prove the effectiveness of Sterculia foetida in lowering cholesterol , triglyceride and reduce the amount of foam cell s on high-fat- diet induced rats . The research design is quasi -experimental with post test only design . Animals are grouped into normal group, negative control group and three treatment groups that were given kepuh leaves extract at the dose of 200 mg/kgBB, 400 mg/kgBB, and 800 mg/ kgBB. Rats were given high-fat diet of initial intravenous adrenaline injection 0.006 mg/200 gBB and duck egg yolks 5 g/kgBB for 21 days. Cholesterol and triglycerides were measured by enzymatic methods and aortic tissue stained with HE . ESf reduce cholesterol significantly and reduce the amount of foam cells on aorta .
