n, number of studies examined; T-C, total cholesterol; LDL-C, low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol; TGs, triglycerides; CV%, calculated for the reported results in the different groups examined. 1: Yes = all results in the same direction; No = results indicate increase and decrease; 2: Yes = all results reported to be significant (S) or not-significant (NS); No = some results are significant some are not.
