The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of administration of papaya (Carica papaya L) for total cholesterol levels in Sprague Dawley rats with hypercholesterolemia.
Method : This research was true-experimental pre-post test control with rondomized group design. Subjects were male Sprague Dawley rats aged 7-8 weeks, weight 100-200 grams are a given blended of  papaya fruit as much as 5.4 g, 7.2 g and 9.0 g per within 4 weeks. Total cholesterol levels are determined by the CHOD-PAP method Enzimatic Precipitation Colorimeter Test. Data normality was tested by Shapiro Wilks.
