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