Cranberry Improves the Lipid Profiles in Patients with Diabetes and Metabolic Syndrome

By Kyle J. Norton

Fat including cholesterol and triglycerides consists of hydrocarbon molecules.

Cholesterol is the type of fat produced by the liver or from fat intake that plays a critical role in the building of strong cell walls, production of vitamin D and steroid hormones and bile acid to aid digestion in the small intestine.

Accessed cholesterol produced by the liver in a healthy individual is returned to the liver by high-density lipoprotein (HDL).

Overexpression of cholesterol levels in the bloodstream has been linked to plaques accumulation on the arterial walls, a major cause of some forms of heart disease and stroke.

The healthy ratio of HDL/LDL cholesterol is any numbers that are less than 1/4.

Triglyceride is fat in the blood that comes from the outside source used by the body to convert to energy.

Triglyceride is stored in the fat cells used to produced energy between meals and in the case when food is scarce.

Compared to cholesterol, triglycerides in high levels also associated with the risk of heart disease, particularly in people with high levels of LDL and low levels of HDL.

Evolutionally, fat accumulation is considered a defense mechanism in the human body where excess fat is stored when foods are plentiful and release to produce energy when foods are scarce.


Cranberry is an evergreen dwarf shrub, genus Vaccinium, belongings to the family Ericaceae, native to Northern America and Southern Asia. Because of its health benefits, cranberry has been cultivated in some parts of the world for commercial profit and used in traditional and herbal medicine to treat wounds, urinary disorders, diarrhea, diabetes, stomach ailments, and liver problems.

On finding a potential compound for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases, researchers investigated berries, including cranberry as whole fruits, juices, and purified extracts on lipids and lipoproteins in diabetes and metabolic syndrome.

Berry extracts application showed to improve other lipid profiles, by lowering LDL and increasing HDL cholesterol (C), as well as inhibiting the triglyceride-rich lipoproteins in diabetes and metabolic syndrome in the tested subjects.

Furthermore, in clinical studies, berry extracts lowered the total and LDL-C and increased the HDL-C in participants with elevated blood lipids, type 2 diabetes or metabolic syndrome.

Based on the emerging evidence, researchers said, "colorful berry fruits may thus be included in a healthy diet for the prevention and management of CVD".

Taken altogether, cranberry may be considered a remedy for the normalization of lipid profile, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
