claimThe broad-spectrum of MetS is associated with obesity and characterized by some abnormalities such as NAFLD and dyslipidemia, which is characterized by the imbalance of lipids (i.e., total cholesterol, Low-Density Lipoprotein [LDL] cholesterol, triglycerides [TGs], and High-Density Lipoprotein [HDL] cholesterol) [,].

claim5 6 7 8 A study involving 50 overweight and obese patients, with BMI levels between 25 and 33 kg/m, revealed that, in these conditions, erythrocytes can be subjected to oxidative damage and present increased cholesterol content, lower concentrations of omega-3 fatty acids (FAs) and thus a decrease in membrane fluidity [,].

topicPolicosanol Lipids Meta-Analysis
claimIn this study, we addressed various challenges associated with the consumption of functional lipids from the Ericerus pela (Chavannes), including unfavorable taste, insolubility in water, difficulty in oral intake, low bioavailability, and low psychological acceptance.
