Mineral and Insilico Study of Sapat Siam Fish (Trichopodus pectoralis, Regan 1910) on Appetite Regulation

Abstract

Backgrounds: Production of Sapat siam fish is ranked second after Papuyu. Giving fish in cases of wasting can overcome miner-al deficiencies in wasting sufferers, because fish contains minerals. Wasting sufferers experience Fe, Ca and Zn deficiencies. There is a relationship between cases of wasting and the incidence of ane-mia. Anemia sufferers experience a decrease in appetite. Until now, there is no known effect of giving the minerals Fe, Ca and Zn on appetite regulation. Objectives: This research aims to determine the mineral content of Sapat siam fish specifically Fe, Ca and Zn and the influence of that minerals on appetite regulation in silico. Methods: Analysis of mineral content in Sapat siam fish meat using the AAS method and analysis of the influence of Fe, Ca and Zn minerals using the in-silico method. Results: Sapat siam fish meat contains Fe, Ca and Zn with con-centrations of 34.5 ± 0.8485, 1,670 ± 183.8478 and 22.8 ± 0.1414, respectively. The presence of Fe, Ca and Zn in Sapat siam fish meat prediction can binding with ligand Ghrelin, leptin, NPY (Neuropeptide Y), ARC, IL-1β, AgRP Conclusion: Sapat siam fish prediction can stimulate appetite
