The increased berries consumption is of importance for human health improvement, helping protecting against a number of diseases, especially cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). This study aimed investigating the effect of berries/apple juice consumption on human lipid profile. Healthy volunteers (36 women and 14 men) were instructed to consume 300 mL/day of juice for 21 days.

The consumption of juice resulted in a significant decrease of total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels (only for men group), and significantly increased high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and total antioxidant status. Furthermore, atherogenic subfractions LDL3-7 in 5 women and 7 men at the baseline were found, reducing by 0.36 mmol/L (from 0.43 ± 0.19 to 0.06 ± 0.04 mmol/L) and 0.23 mmol/L (from 0.43 ± 0.19 to 0.20 ± 0.09 mmol/L) in the women's and men’s group, respectively. The regular intake of berries/apple juice can be an important strategy to reduce CVDs risk, by positive modulation of the lipid profile and other health attributes in adults.

浆果消耗量的增加对改善人类健康至关重要，有助于预防多种疾病，尤其是心血管疾病（CVD）。这项研究旨在调查浆果/苹果汁消费对人体脂质分布的影响。健康的志愿者（36名女性和14名男性）被指示每天喝300毫升果汁，持续21天。

果汁的消耗导致总胆固醇和低密度脂蛋白（LDL）胆固醇水平显着下降（仅针对男性），并且高密度脂蛋白（HDL）胆固醇和总抗氧化剂状态显着增加。此外，在基线时发现5名女性和7名男性的动脉粥样硬化亚型LDL3-7，分别降低了0.36 mmol / L（从0.43±0.19到0.06±0.04 mmol / L）和0.23 mmol / L（从0.43±0.19到0.20）男女组分别为±0.09 mmol / L）。定期摄入浆果/苹果汁可能是通过积极调节成年人的脂质分布和其他健康属性来降低CVD风险的重要策略。
