By Vijay Kumar MalesuJun 2 2024Reviewed by Susha Cheriyedath, M.Sc. In a recent study published in the journal Nutrients , a group of researchers in China conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate the effects of garlic on blood lipid and glucose levels in humans.
About the study In the present study, four databases- Embase, PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science were searched up to February 2024 using terms related to garlic, glucose, and lipid metabolism. Additional eligible trials were identified through manual searches, and the study adhered to the guidelines of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses 2020.
Study results A comprehensive search of four databases yielded 2,553 relevant papers. 550 duplicate publications were identified and excluded. Titles and abstracts were carefully evaluated, leading to the exclusion of 1,830 papers deemed irrelevant. The remaining 173 papers underwent a thorough qualification review, excluding 151 papers due to incomplete data, unavailability of full text, use of cinnamon in combination with other drugs, or the absence of a placebo in the control group.
