  4. “Does garlic supplementation have a lipid lowering effect in hyperlipidemic patients?”

  5. P = Hyperlipidemic Patients I = Garlic Supplementation C = Placebo O = Lipid Profile M = RCTs

  6. METHODOLOGY

  7. Criteria for Considering Studies

  8. Type of study • Randomized Controlled Trial - May or may not involve crossover period • May be unblinded, single-blinded or double-blinded • Published or Unpublished • English Articles

  9. Types of Participants • Adults (19 years old above) • With mild, moderate or severe hypercholesterolemia • No comorbid illnesses • No other pathological clinical chemistries • Not taking any other medications • Not taking any substantial amount of garlic in the diet

  10. Types of Interventions • Garlic Supplementation • Any form (tablet, capsule, aged garlic extract or oil for) versus placebo • May have minor ingredients that are not known to have an effect on the outcome • May or may not be taken with meals • Any dose • At least four weeks of intervention

  11. Types of Outcome Measures • Total Cholesterol • Low Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL-C) • High Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (HDL-C) • Triglycerides

  12. Search Methods for Identification of Studies • Systematic online article search via PubMed • MESH terms “garlic AND dyslipidemias” • LIMITS: humans, RCTs, English, All adult 19+

  13. “Garlic” [MESH] AND “dyslipidemias” [MESH] (n=111) LIMITS: RCT, Humans, all adults > 19 y/o, English only 24RCTs Excluded studies (n=10) Studies that met the inclusion criteria (n=14) 3 Full-text RCTs cannot be retrieved 11 Full-text RCTs included

  14. Search Methods for Identification of Studies • Cross-referencing of all appraised articles • 2 articles included • Free text search via Yahoo and Google search engine • Various combinations of the search terms (cholesterol-lowering effects, garlic, allicin, alliumsativum, hyperlipidemia, and hypercholesterolemia) • 1 article included

  15. Search Methods for Identification of Studies • Other Databases • Cochrane • Medscapepharmacist • HighWirePress (a Division of the Stanford University Library) • Herdin • DOH-OPAC • UP-PGH College of Medicine OPAC • UPD-College of Science OPAC • UST-OPAC • Kansas University Libraries OPAC • SLCM-WHQM Medical Library OVID Program and Journal Collection

  16. Search Methods for Identification of Studies • Hand Searching • RBD-SLMC • Department of Nutrition-SLMC • Manufacturers of locally available garlic supplements • Cardiologists at St. Luke’s Medical Arts Building and Cathedral Heights Building Complex (CHBC) were also contacted through telephone and/or visits to their clinics

  17. Methodological Quality • Assessed using the EBM approach

  18. Total Number of Included Studies FOURTEEN

  19. Description of Studies • All double-blinded RCTs (n=14) • 4 studies with crossover • Population • Hyperlipidemic male and female adults • No other comorbidities/abnormal serum parameters aside from hypercholeserolemia • Not taking any garlic supplementation, any other medications • No substantial amount of garlic in their diet

  20. Description of Studies • Thirteen of the fourteen studies were homogenous at baseline, the remaining study adjusted using analysis of covariance • Thirteen randomized hyperlipidemic subjects with garlic versus placebo or no intervention, the remaining articlerandomized hyperlipidemic subjects with garlic versus anethumgraveolens or placebo

  21. Description of Studies • Intervention • Garlic supplementation • Form • Capsule or tablet • Dose • Range: 400mg/day-7,200mg • Duration • Range: 6 weeks-5 months

  22. Description of Studies

  23. Measurements of Treatment Effect • Mean change from baseline • Total Cholesterol, LDL-Cholesterol, HDL-Cholesterol and Triglycerides • Mean percent change • Total Cholesterol, LDL-Cholesterol, HDL-Cholesterol and Triglycerides

  24. Subgroup Analysis • Diet • No change in diet (n=7) • Diet Advice (n=2) • Strict Dietary Regimen (n=5) • Sex • All males (n=3) • Males and Females (n=11)

  25. Unit of Analysis Issues • Crossover Trials • The group used the lipid parameters given in the study prior to the crossover period • One study (Steiner, et al.) did not show the exact values , the group estimated the values through the given graphs

  26. Data Synthesis • Random Effects Model • Fixed Effects Model

  27. Results and Discussion

  28. RESULTS 14 INCLUDED STUDIES Total cholesterol, LDL-C, HDL-C, Triglyceride 1 excluded from statistical analysis MEAN CHANGE (N = 592-625 ) MEAN PERCENT CHANGE (N = 183 ) SEX DIET SEX DIET MIXED (M& F) MALES only NO dietary change Dietary advice Diet regimen MIXED (M&F) MALES only NO dietary change Dietary advice Diet regimen

  29. Standard Deviation • Only 3 studies showed the SD for mean change and/or mean percent from baseline: • Isaacsohn et al. • Kojuri et al. • Superko et al. • 10/13: no SD cited • SD values were imputed

  30. Not included in the statistical analysis • Berthold et al. • No significant effect • Maderet al. and Vorberg and Schneider • Significantly decreased total cholesterol and triglyceride levels • Silady et al. • no significant differences bet. the 2 groups

  39. Summary of Results • Mean change from baseline of TC and LDL-C • Favored the garlic treatment group • Significantly decreased levels • Mean change from baseline of HDL-C and TG • Favoured the garlic treatment group, but • not significant • Mean percent of all lipid parameters • Not significant • small number of participants
