Abstract

Cholesterol was one of the components of fat/lipid substances that were in free form and esters with fatty acids, and was the main component of brain and nerve cell membranes. Too much cholesterol in the blood could form deposits on the walls of blood vessels, which could cause a narrowing called atherosclerosis. Anthocyanin and tocotrienol compounds contained in red dragon fruit could suppress the formation of cholesterol in the body. The type of research used in this study was experimental with a pretest and posttest approach. This study used 1 dose of 2.86g/KgBW for 14 days. The average total cholesterol level before treatment in this study was 237.28 mg/dl and after treatment was 222.89 mg/dl. This study was tested using the Shapiro-Wilk test, it was found that the data were normally distributed (p>0.05), Paired t-test data obtained a significance result of 0.012 (p<0.05). It could be concluded that Ho was rejected, which means that there was an effect of giving red dragon fruit juice (Hylocereus polyrhizus) on total cholesterol levels in women. Based on the data on the examination results, it could be seen that there was an effect of giving red dragon fruit juice (Hylocereus polyrhizus) on total cholesterol levels in women.
