The Impact of Chokeberry Bioproducts on Metabolic Parameters and Antioxidant Potential

May 23, 2024 updated by: Małgorzata Zujko, Medical University of Bialystok

The Impact of Chokeberry Bioproducts Consumption on Metabolic Parameters and the Antioxidant Potential of Serum

Chokeberry can be used both in the prevention and treatment of various metabolic disorders due to its high antioxidant properties. The study assessed for the first time the synergistic effect of chokeberry juice and chokeberry fiber on selected metabolic and anthropometric parameters. 102 people (67 women and 35 men) took part in the intervention study. After 8 weeks of intervention with chokeberry juice and another 4 weeks of intervention with chokeberry juice and fiber, a change in waist circumference, blood pressure, glucose, glycated hemoglobin, LDL cholesterol, aspartate transaminase (AST) and the level of antioxidant potential was observed.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Dietary intervention with chokeberry juice and fibre
Study participants consumed 100 mL of chokeberry juice daily for 8 weeks. After 8 weeks, participants consumed 100 ml of chokeberry juice and 10 g of chokeberry fiber daily for 4 weeks.
Other: Dietary intervention with chokeberry juices
The first stage of the dietary intervention lasted 8 weeks. Study participants consumed 100 ml of chokeberry juice daily. Chokeberry juice came from ecological cultivation (Poland). Participants qualified for the study had specific biochemical parameters tested: fasting glucose and insulin level, lipid profile (triglycerides, total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol), glycated hemoglobin, uric acid, C-reactive protein (CRP), creatinine, liver enzymes: alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST), gamma-glutamylotranspeptydase (GGTP), homocysteine and antioxidant potential. Blood tests were performed in a certified external laboratory before and after 8 weeks of intervention. In addition, blood pressure and waist circumference were tested.
Other: Dietary intervention with chokeberry juices and fibers
The second stage of the dietary intervention lasted 4 weeks. Study participants consumed 100 ml of chokeberry juice daily and 10 g chokeberry fiber daily (from ecological cultivation, Poland). Blood tests were performed in a certified external laboratory after 4 weeks of intervention. The following blood tests were performed: fasting glucose and insulin level, lipid profile (triglycerides, total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol), glycated hemoglobin, uric acid, C-reactive protein (CRP), creatinine, liver enzymes: alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST), gamma-glutamylotranspeptydase (GGTP), homocysteine and antioxidant potential. In addition, blood pressure and waist circumference were tested.
