[QUOTE="Nelson Vergel, post: 18897, member: 3"] [B]Effects of zinc on plasma lipoprotein cholesterol concentrations in humans: A meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials[/B] Abstract Background Studies in humans and animals suggest that zinc has the potential to affect lipoprotein metabolism and hence impact cardiovascular disease risk. Methods A meta-analysis of controlled clinical trials was conducted to determine the effect of zinc supplementation on plasma cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations in humans. Potentially relevant studies were identified from a literature search covering the period 1980–2008 (inclusive), and additional citation searches. Results Thirty-three interventions ([I]n[/I] = 14,238 subjects) were included in the random effects meta-analysis. No overall significant effects of zinc supplementation were observed for plasma cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol or plasma triglyceride concentrations. Plasma zinc concentrations increased significantly (+2.42 ± 0.25 μmol/L, [I]P[/I] < 0.001; [I]n[/I] = 14,047). Secondary analyses in individuals classified as healthy revealed that zinc supplementation is associated with a significant decrease in plasma HDL cholesterol concentrations (−0.10 ± 0.02 mmol/L, [I]P[/I] < 0.001; [I]n[/I] = 13,215), equivalent to a 7% decrease from baseline. Conclusion [B]No effect of zinc supplementation on plasma lipoproteins was detected in the overall analysis. In individuals classified as healthy, zinc supplementation is associated with a decrease in HDL cholesterol concentrations and thus contributes to an increased risk of coronary heart disease.[/B] [URL]http://www.atherosclerosis-journal.com/article/S0021-9150(09)00995-2/abstract[/URL] [URL='https://www.discountedlabs.com/zinc-red-blood-cell-rbc-content']TEST YOUR ZINC LEVEL INSIDE RED BLOOD CELLS (MOST ACCURATE METHOD)[/URL] [/QUOTE]
