        abstract = {Obesity is a global epidemic for non-communicable diseases characterized by a body mass index more 
than 30 kg/m2
. Epidemiological data show that consuming foods containing capsaicin, the main active 
compound and causes a spicy taste in chili associated with a decrease in the prevalence of obesity. This 
study aims to determine the effect of consumption chili on lipid profile of rats fed high-fat diet and their 
potential as anti-obesity. Treatment was conducted on 24 male Sprague-Dawley rats and divided into 
6 groups namely the regular group (N) was given a standard diet and the group that was given a high?fat diet (PTL) and varied with a dose of 0.5 g/kg BW. Every 14 days of treatment, the weight of the 
rats was weighed, and blood was taken retro-orbital to obtain the serum. The rat serum was tested for 
total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides, LDL, and HDL through the colorimetric method. The levels were 
assessed using a clinical spectrophotometer. The results showed a decrease in weight, LDL, increase 
HDL (p{\ensuremath{<}}0.05), decrease in TC, triglyceride (p{\ensuremath{>}}0.05). This showed chili extract has the potential as an 
anti-obesity with parameters of measuring lipid profile and weight but needs dose adjuster and timing 
of extract administration},
