This research aims to find out the levels of xanthone in mangosteen pericarp extract (MPE) and to prove the ability of xanthone in modulating the activity of paraoxonase-1 (PON-1), reduce oxidized-low density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) and increase the levels of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) serum in animal model with organophosphat subchronic and subcutaneous exposure. This research is a true experimental laboratory with in vivo approach to post-test with control group, using 25 animal models of Wistar strain of Rattus novergicus, were exposed to dichlorvos as organophosphates (2 mg/kgBW/day) for 21 days. Those animal models are divided into no exposure group, organophosphate exposure group, and organophosphate exposure plus administration of xanthone groups. The parameters (levels of PON-1, ox-LDL and AChE measured by ELISA Test. The results showed that administration of xanthone significantly increased the levels of AChE, decreased levels of ox-LDL and PON-1. © 2015, Korean Society of Environmental Risk Assessment and Health Science and Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht.
