Methods: Animal were divided into five groups consisted of the negative control group, positive control group, an ethanol extract of A. cordifolia leaves at doses of 50 and 100 mg/kg bw group, and Orlistat group at a dose of 21.6 mg/kg bw. High-carbohydrate diet was given ad libitum for 30 d to all mice in groups, except to the negative control group. Then the rats were treated based on their groups for 14 d, and the high-carbohydrate diet was still given during the treatment. The parameters observed were the increment of body weight, food index, and feces index. Results: The results showed that ethanol extract of A. cordifolia leaves at a dose of 100 mg/kg bw had the lowest increment of body weight (59.97±5.63) among other groups, and it was significantly different compared to the positive control group (76.11±8.50). The percentage of the food index and feces index did not differ significantly among all test groups. Conclusion: Ethanol extract of A. cordifolia leaves at a dose of 100 mg/kg bw has a potency of the antiobesity agent by inhibiting the increment of the body weight of obese rats induced by high-carbohydrate diet, without affecting their appetite and bowel movement.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Anredera cordifolia (Ten.) steenis,Antiobesity,High-carbohydrate diet,Obesity[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
