Berberine’s effects on lipid metabolism and blood pressure regulation have garnered attention. Research indicates that it may help lower levels of LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, and total cholesterol while increasing HDL cholesterol levels contributing to improved cardiovascular health.
Berberine has the potential to positively impact lipid metabolism. It may reduce levels of triglycerides and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol. Additionally, it may increase levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, the “good” cholesterol.
The mechanism of action of berberine and its metabolites are able to up-regulate the expression of the LDL receptor in human hepatoma cells.
This up-regulation of the LDL receptor led to increased uptake of LDL cholesterol by the cells, which is beneficial for lipid metabolism and overall cardiovascular health.
