Effect of resveratrol supplementation on lipid profile in subjects with dyslipidemia: A randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial

It is well-known that elevated concentrations of circulating lipids are a strong risk factor for cardiovascular disease [1]; in this regard, the high levels of total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), or triglycerides as well as the low concentrations of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) are consistently associated to future cardiovascular disease [2 –4], and their interactions exert a cumulative effect in the increasing cardiovascular mortality [5,6]. Therefore, given the high prevalence of dyslipidemia worldwide, the search of complementary therapies to treat lipid abnormalities in high-risk populations emerges as a priority.
