The influence of tomato lycopene on hypercholesterolemia has been studied many times. Post Test Randomized Control Group Design is used as the research design. A total of 24 white rats were made hypercholesterolemia before treatment, then they were divided into 4 groups randomly, i.e. K1 (control group), K2, K3, and K4 (Treatment groups 1, 2 and 3). Treatment groups were administered with tomato extract. K2 (given 6 mg / head / day), K3 (12 mg / head / day), K4 (24mg / head / day). The result of ANOVA test showed significant difference (p <0,05) among control group (K) and treatment group (K2, K3 and K4). The results of LSD testing showed a significant difference in the group (p <0.05), on triglyceride levels, total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol. So it can be concluded that tomato extract can decline the status of lipid profile in terms of triglycerides, total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
