Effect of Anthocyanin Supplementations on Lipid Profile and Inflammatory Markers: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To assess combined data from seventeen randomized controlled trials studying effect of anthocyanin consumption on levels of various lipids and inflammatory markers with meta-analysis approach.

Methods

Various databases, namely, PubMed, MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane Trial Register were used to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) investigating an association between anthocyanins and lipid profile and inflammatory markers. Heterogeneity was assessed using Q and I² statistics and data was expressed using mean difference with 95% confidence interval.

Results

Statistically significant reduction in triglyceride [mean difference (MD) = -9.16, 95% CI: -14.02 to -4.31 mg/dL, I² = 33.54%, P = 0.149], low density
