Curcumin can be used as a novel approach to improving lipid profile: Study
Curcumin can be used as a novel approach in improving lipid profile according to a recent study published in the Nutrition, Metabolism and Cardiovascular Diseases
Several meta-analyses exist supporting the beneficial effects of curcumin supplementation on lipid profile parameters; however, some studies findings are inconsistent. Therefore, the current umbrella of meta-analysis of clinical trials was performed to evaluate the findings of multiple meta-analyses on the efficacy of curcumin on lipid profiles in adults.
A comprehensive systematic search of PubMed/Medline, Scopus, Embase, Web of Science and Google Scholar was carried out up to May 2022 (in English only). The random-effects model was employed to conduct a meta-analysis. The quality assessment of the selected meta-analyses was measured using a measurement tool to assess multiple systematic reviews (AMSTAR). Of 101 articles returned in the literature search, 19 articles met the qualifications for inclusion in the umbrella meta-analysis.
