All groups received high cholesterol diet 14 days before pretest and 28 days during the treatment period. Group I as a negative control untreated. Group II as a positive control group received simvastatin 0,18 mg, Group III, IV and V received a dose of garlic extract successively 0.08 g, 0.16 g and 0.24 g and 0.45 ml dose of olive oil. The data was analyzed using Kruskal Wallis test, Mann-Whitney and Wilcoxon. Results: The result showed the decreasing of total cholesterol (p = 0.015) and LDL (p = 0.014) were significant before and after treatment in each treatment group. In the positive control group did show a significant reduction in total cholesterol compared with the treatment group I (p = 0.347), II (p = 0.251), and III (p = 0.347). While the levels of LDL decline in the positive control group and the treatment also did not differ significantly, with the value of the treatment group I (p = 0.347), II (p = 0.465), and III (p = 0.347).
