    Ju J, Li J, Lin Q, Xu H

    Published in Phytomedicine

    Methodology

    Meta-analysis of randomized trials of berberine on lipid profile including LDL cholesterol and atherogenic small dense LDL indices.

    Key Findings

    Berberine reduced LDL cholesterol and triglycerides, with reported shifts away from small dense LDL particles.

    Conclusions

    Berberine improves atherogenic lipid patterns relevant to LDL particle quality.

    Limitations

    Most trials conducted in one region; particle-size data reported inconsistently.
