Abstract: One of the biggest risk factors for cardiovascular disease is hypercholesterolemia. Cholesterol is an important fat, however if it is excessive in the blood it can cause various diseases, one of which is cardiovascular disease. One of the traditional medicines used to reduce blood cholesterol levels is Moringa Oleifera leaves, which contain flavonoids and play an important role in lowering blood cholesterol levels. This study aimed to determine the antioxidant content of Moringa Oleifera leaves, the benefits of lowering blood cholesterol levels, and the dosage of administration. This study was conducted by using three databases, namely PubMed, ClinicalKey and Google Scholar to find articles which met the inclusion and exclusion criteria, then the assessment was carried out. There was a significant reduction in blood cholesterol levels when given Moringa leaves, as well as the dose given. In conclusion, antioxidants in Moringa leaves can reduce cholesterol levels in the blood.Keywords: antioxidants, moringa leaves, cholesterol, cardiovascular  Abstrak: Salah satu faktor risiko terbesar penyakit kardiovaskular adalah hiperkolesterolemia. Kolesterol merupakan lemak yang penting, namun jika berlebihan dalam darah dapat menyebabkan berbagai penyakit, salah satunya kardiovaskular. Salah satu obat tradisional yang digunakan untuk menurunkan kadar kolesterol darah adalah daun kelor (Moringa Oleifera), yang mengandung flavonoid dan berperan penting dalam menurunkan kadar kolesterol darah. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui kandungan antioksidan daun kelor, manfaat sebagai penurun kadar kolesterol darah, dan dosis pemberian. Pencarian artikel menggunakan tiga database yaitu PubMed, ClinicalKey, dan Google Scholar untuk menemukan artikel sesuai dengan kriteria inklusi dan eksklusi, kemudian dilakukan penilaian. Terdapat penurunan kadar kolesterol darah yang signifikan ketika diberikan daun kelor dalam menurunkan kadar kolesterol darah, serta dosis yang diberikan. Sebagi simpulan, antioksidan pada daun kelor dapat menurunkan kadar kolesterol dalam darah. Kata Kunci: antioksidan, daun kelor, kolesterol, kardiovaskular

Objective: To evaluate retinol and β-carotene serum levels and their relationship with risk factors for cardiovascular disease in individuals with morbid obesity, resident in Rio de Janeiro. Methodology: Blood serum concentrations of retinol and β-carotene of 189 morbidly obese individuals were assessed. The metabolic syndrome was identified according to the criteria of the National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) and World Health Organization (WHO). Lipid profile, insulin resistance, basal insulin, glycemia, blood pressure, and anthropometry and their correlation with retinol and β-carotene serum levels were evaluated. Results: Metabolic syndrome diagnosis was observed in 49.0% of the sample. Within this percentage the levels of β-carotene were significantly lower when body mass index increased. Serum retinol didn't show this behavior. Serum retinol inadequacy in patients with metabolic syndrome (61.3%), according to WHO criterion, was higher (15.8%) than when the whole sample was considered (12.7%). When metabolic syndrome was diagnosed by NCEP criterion, β-carotene inadequacy was higher (42.8%) when compared to the total sample (37.5%). There was a significant difference between average β-carotene values of patients with and without metabolic syndrome (p=0.048) according to the classification of the NCEP. Lower values were found in patients with metabolic syndrome. Conclusion: Considering the vitamin A contribution in antioxidant protection, especially when risk factors for cardiovascular disease are present, it is suggested that great attention be given to morbidly obese. This could aid in prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease, which affects a significant part of the population.
