Meta-analyses of these and other studies have demonstrated: Reductions in total cholesterol typically in the range of 15% from baseline, varying by agent and population Decreases in LDL cholesterol ranging from 17%, generally more modest than dedicated lipid-lowering therapies Reductions in triglycerides of 515%, with greater effects often seen in those with higher baseline levels Variable effects on HDL cholesterol , with small increases (1-2%) or neutral effects reported The magnitude of lipid improvements appears to correlate with the degree of weight loss achieved, suggesting that metabolic benefits may be partially mediated through adiposity reduction
