Cholesterol in the blood is a form of sterol derived from a lipid molecule that serves as the main structural component of plasma membrane. Atherosclerosis is a change characterized by thickening of the arterial walls due to the accumulation of cholesterol in the intima of blood vessels. By using SPSS analysis, it was found that the Shapiro-Wilk Normality Test with a sig value > 0.05, the data were normally distributed. The results of the analysis in the Test of Homogeneity of Variences table obtained a Sig Value 0.106. This the value of Sig = 0.106 > 0.05, them ho is accept. Thus the ethanol extract of ginger, pandan leaves, citronella, cinnamon, has the potential to reduce cholesterol levels. By using four different doses, the rat group at a dose 100mg/kgbw showed cholesterol levels of 90,75(mg/dl) ± 11,58, the rat group at a dose 200mg/kgbw showed cholesterol levels of 95,5(mg/dl) ± 6,80, the rat group at a dose 300mg/kgbw showed cholesterol levels of 75,75 (mg/dl)± 2,06, the rat group at a dose 400mg/kgbw showed cholesterol levels of 67,5mg/dl ± 2,64.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
