| dc.description.abstract | Fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) is a condition associated with drinking alcohol dur-
ing pregnancy and affect embryo development. FAS is the most common congenital
disabilities in the world. The effects of FAS are mental retardation, cranial abnormalities,
and heart defects. Moringa oleifera is a highly valued plant. It has an
impressive range of biological activities, including antioxidant, antiproliferation,
and anti-inflammatory. This study aims to assess the effect of Moringa oleifera leaf
extracts in inhibiting growth retardation of chicken embryo growth induced by alcohol.
The study was a true experimental design with posttest controlled group
design. There were five groups with 5 of chicken embryo each group. The treatments
contained 15% alcohol and aquadest as positive control (P+), without alcohol
as

(50g/dl) by adding Moringa
oleifera leaf extracts, respectively. Moringa oleifera leaf extracts showed the improvement
of length and head diameter as a benchmark for chicken embryo development
with P

concentration showed the best results to overcome growth retardation
in alcohol-induced chicken embryos. This finding implies against possibility
Moringa oleifera leaf extracts can be alternative medicine to prevent growth retardation. | en_US |
