Channa striata, The Fish -- The Most One of Albumin Source for Hypoalbuminemia

Curently, the snakehead murrel, Channa striata has got much of interest from people, especially for medical sector. This fish is the most one of albumin source for hipoalbumine suferer. It's good for after surgeon lesion or burning lesion.

Many causes make someone less an albumin, such as failure liver, renal, and less of nutrition. albumin has an important role for our body, because, the protein inside of a liquid blood has manage the liquid blood (plasma). Albumin has bound a bilirubin, grease abandon acid, calcium, and any type of medicine.

Loosing albumin on the human body has caused of intake or less nutrition. It causes by affiuent secretion, for example like secretion from human intestine. And a renal puncture can be causes of less albumin. This failure has recognized nephrotic syndrome or puncture a part of renal (glomerolus).

So if we get failure liver, we need particuar support nutrition from any albumin source, it could be from animal such as Channa striata, and the shape it could be a capsule, and eventhough infuse.

Characterisic

The snakehead murrel, Channa striata, is a species of snakehead. It is also known as the common snakehead, chevron snakehead, striped snakehead and aruan, and has also been classified under the binomial names Ophiocephalus striatus Bloch and Ophiocephalus vagus Peters.

It grows up to 1 m in length, though because of fishing this size is not found in the wild. It has a widespread range covering southern China, Pakistan, most of India, southern Nepal, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and most of South-east Asia. It has more recently been introduced to the outmost parts of Indonesia, the Philippines, and Mauritius. Reports beginning in the early 20th century that it was introduced into the wild in Hawaii, particularly the island of Oahu, are the apparent result of misidentifications, according to a publication.

The only currently confirmed Hawaiian establishment of C. striata is on a commercial fish farm. Popular media and the US Fish and Wildlife Service were perpetuating this apparent mistake as recently as 2002. Early- to mid-20th century reports and texts referring to its introduction in California appear to be the result of a misunderstanding.

It is an important food fish in its native range and is of considerable economic importance. Adults are dark brown in colour with faint black bands visible across its entire body. Males and female both help to construct a nest out of water vegetation during breeding time and the eggs are guarded by the male.

It is common in freshwater plains, where it migrates from rivers and lakes into flooded fields, returning to the permanent water bodies in the dry season, where it survives by burrowing in the mud.

Source of Albumin

Eventough, in the village area, the boy who was get a circumcision, must be consuming this fish.
The disposal Channa striata extract have a positive coorelation with albumine plasma degree enhancement and for lesion surgery recover.

The process is, Channa striata flesh steaming, since we get the filtrate, and this is an extract menu for hipoalbuminemia and lesion suferrer.

The Channa striata phenom was ever taken to the one research by Prof. Dr. Eng. Eddy Suprayitno, MS. Full professor of biochemical Fishery Faculty of UNIBRAW( Brawijaya University, Indonesia) on 2003. The research title is Channa striata albumin for a fungsional food to solve a nutrition problem on the future, Eddy was husk away about The Channa Striata potention. "If we see from the amino acid, it has more completely structure more than another fish.

He said, for along time our people still have an image that if we consuming this fish same as we consuming a snake, it could be same because the appearance is like a snake. Whereas Channa striata life on fresh water, and the food is a worm, frog, litle fish, shrimp, insect and ketam (such as a crab).

The physc atribute, have a litle circle body, tall, convex backpart, flat abdomen, slim head. The backpart has a green and black color and abdomen has white and litle brown. And the leght has seems to be 90-110cm, so the weight of three fish could be 2kg. Eddy said, that we could see this fish in common water at Java, Sumatera, Borneo, Sulawesi, Bali, Lombok, Flores and Ambon.

So, how Channa striata can influence to interpolation the albumine? On the human body, albumine (is the one protein fraction) has syntetic by lever about 100-200 microgram/g every day. Albumine has distributing by vasculer on plasma and by extravascular.

Eddy said that sintesis albumin trouble, usualy happened on the lever cronic, renal and also less nutrition. Actually, Channa striata not only a protein source, but it can be a mineral source between zinc and another trace element which need by the body.

The Eddy’s research product was ever tried on RSU dr Saiful Anwar Malang. And the result was tested to the surgeon patient with low albumin degree (1,8 g/dl). And the result the albumin degree has normally again (3,5 - 5,5 g/dl).
