Propolis, as a by-product of honey production, has shown several beneficial effects on cardiovascular risks in past randomised controlled trials, although the findings are not conclusive. In this review, we intend to evaluate the effects of propolis consumption on cardiovascular risk factors by conducting a meta-analysis. The Web of Science, Medline and Scopus databases were comprehensively searched until September 2023.

Background: Owing to the rich phytochemical content of Rhus coriaria L. (Anacardiaceae), known as Sumac, it may affect blood pressure, glycemic, and anthropometric indices. We, therefore, aimed to examine evidence on effect of Sumac on these factors by conducting a meta-analysis of RCTs.

- Sumac, or Rhus coriaria L., is a plant known for its high levels of phytochemicals that may help manage inflammation and oxidative stress, prompting a systematic review of trials related to its effects.
- A search across multiple databases identified seven relevant trials, mostly involving patients with diabetes, fatty liver, and metabolic issues, assessing the impact of Sumac on inflammation and oxidative stress biomarkers.
- Results indicated that while long-term Sumac consumption may reduce oxidative stress markers, its short-term effects are minimal, and the impact on inflammatory markers was inconsistent, suggesting the need for more research to clarify its benefits for metabolic diseases.
Background: Owing to the rich phytochemical content of Silymarin, it may effectively manage inflammation and oxidative stress. We, therefore, aimed to examine the existing evidence on the effect of Silymarin consumption on inflammation and oxidative stress factors by conducting a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
Methods: A systematic literature search up to September 2023 was completed in PubMed/Medline, Scopus, and Web of Science, to identify eligible RCTs.
This systematic review aimed to gather data on the effects of sumac supplementation on lipid profile. A systematic literature search was carried out using electronic databases (PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science) up to March 2023 to identify eligible randomized controlled trials (RCTs) assessing the effects of sumac intake on lipid profile as an outcome. All participants enrolled in our study were adult individuals who consumed sumac, in various forms, as an intervention.

Methods: A literature search of Web of Science, Scopus, and PubMed/Medline, was conducted for RCTs investigating the efficacy of RJ on plasma liver enzymes and glycemic indices.
