M-A | Soluble fiber supplementation and serum lipid profile

20 Feb, 2023 | 12:18h | UTC

Summary: The article presents the results of a systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that evaluated the effect of soluble fiber supplementation on blood lipid parameters in adults. The review included 181 RCTs with 220 treatment arms and 14,505 participants. The meta-analysis found that soluble fiber supplementation significantly reduced LDL cholesterol, total cholesterol, triglycerides, and apolipoprotein B concentrations. The article suggests that increasing fiber intake using soluble fiber supplementation could be an effective intervention in the prevention and management of dyslipidemia, and consequently may contribute to the risk reduction of cardiovascular diseases. However, the article also notes that because of the high between-study heterogeneity and publication bias, the findings should be interpreted cautiously.
