氧化应激(OS)是参与慢性疾病发生和发展的关键因素。尽管它被广泛接受为抗氧化剂,在人体临床试验中,人参对OS的影响尚未得到全面分析。因此,本研究旨在综合以往研究人参消费对OS指标影响的随机临床试验(RCT)的结果.PubMed,WebofScience,Scopus,截至2023年3月20日,在Cochrane数据库中搜索了有关人参消费对氧化应激标志物影响的文章。使用标准化平均差(SMD)和95%置信区间(CIs)来评估效果大小。12个具有15个效应大小的RCT显示,人参的作用降低了血清丙二醛(MDA)水平(SMD=0.45,95%CI:-0.87,-0.08;p=0.03),并显着增加了血清总抗氧化能力(TAC)(SMD=0.23,95%CI:0.01,0.45;p=0.04),氧化歧化酶(SOD)(SMD=0.39,95%CI:0.21,0.57;p<0.0001),谷胱甘肽(GSH)(SMD=0.36;95%CI:0.11,0.61;p=0.005),和谷胱甘肽还原酶(GR)(SMD=0.56;95%CI:0.31,0.81;p<0.0001)水平与安慰剂的影响相比。然而,对血清谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶(GPx)和过氧化氢酶(CAT)的影响不显著。此外,基于干预持续时间的亚组分析显示,干预超过4周后,服用人参会增加GPx(SMD=0.91,95%CI:0.05,1.78;p=0.039)和CAT(SMD=0.74,95%CI:0.27,1.21;p=0.002)水平。根据这项荟萃分析的结果,人参补充显着降低MDA水平和增加TAC,SOD,GSH,和GR水平。我们的结果为对抗氧化应激引起的疾病开辟了新的防线。
Oxidative stress (OS) is a key factor involved in the initiation and development of chronic diseases. Despite its widespread acceptance as an antioxidant, the effects of
ginseng on OS in human clinical trials have not been comprehensively analyzed. Therefore, this study aimed to synthesize the results of previous randomized clinical trials (RCTs) examining the impact of
ginseng consumption on OS indicators. PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Cochrane databases were searched for articles on the effects of
ginseng consumption on oxidative stress markers up to March 20, 2023. Standardized mean difference (SMD) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to assess effect sizes. Twelve RCTs with 15 effect sizes revealed that the effects of
ginseng lowered serum malondialdehyde (MDA) levels (SMD = 0.45, 95% CI: -0.87, -0.08; p = 0.03) and significantly increased the serum total antioxidant capacity (TAC) (SMD = 0.23, 95% CI: 0.01, 0.45; p = 0.04), oxidative dismutase (SOD) (SMD = 0.39, 95% CI: 0.21, 0.57; p < 0.0001), glutathione (GSH) (SMD = 0.36; 95% CI: 0.11, 0.61; p = 0.005), and glutathione reductase (GR) (SMD = 0.56; 95% CI: 0.31, 0.81; p < 0.0001) levels compared to the effects of placebo. However, the effects on serum glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and catalase (CAT) were not significant. Moreover, subgroup analysis based on intervention duration showed that
ginseng consumption increased GPx (SMD = 0.91, 95% CI: 0.05, 1.78; p = 0.039) and CAT (SMD = 0.74, 95% CI: 0.27, 1.21; p = 0.002) levels after more than 4 weeks of intervention. According to the results of this meta-analysis, ginseng supplementation dramatically reduced MDA levels and increased TAC, SOD, GSH, and GR levels. Our results open up a new line of defense against oxidative stress-induced diseases.
