Popis: Objective: The objective of this research was to evaluate reduction of blood cholesterol level by fraction extracts of binahong (Anredera cordifolia) o n male Wistar rats. Methods: The rats were given high fat food every day for 3 months and pure cholesterol on week 0, 3, 7 and 11. After that each binahong fraction (n-hexane fraction, ethyl acetate fraction and water fraction) with doses of 50 mg/kg bw, 100 mg/kg bw, 200 mg/kg bw were given orally for 3 weeks and observed for lipid profile on day 21. Results: The result showed that n-hexane, ethyl acetate and water fractions of binahong leaves decreased total cholesterol, triglyceride and LDL level, and did not influence the HDL level. Meanwhile statin decreased total cholesterol, triglyceride and LDL level, and increased HDL level. Conclusion: Ethyl acetate fraction of binahong leaves significantly reduced total cholesterol level, triglycerides, LDL level compared to negative control group (p< 0.05) and had no influence in HDL level.
