  The braneworld scenario, based on the fact that the four dimension space-time
is a hyper-surface of a five dimensional manifold, was shown to deal in a
satisfactory way with the hierarchy problem. In this work we study macroscopic
stellar properties of compact stars from the braneworld point of view. Using
neutron star equations of state, we test the possibility of extra dimensions by
solving the brane Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff equations obtained for three kinds
of possible compact objects: hadronic, hybrid and quark stars. By comparing the
macroscopic solutions with observational constraints, we establish a brane
tension lower limit and the value for which the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff
equations in the braneworld converge to the usual Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff
equations.
