The participants were men and women with dyslipidemia, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, type 2 diabetes, or overweight. The trials administered cherry as fresh fruits, fruit powder, fruit extract, or a mixture of cherry and Ribes species. The trial duration ranged from 6 to 12 weeks.

BMI (−0.3), hip circumference (−0.8cm), fasting blood sugar (−4.9 mg/dL), and total cholesterol (−13.4 mg/dL) with high certainty
Insulin (−3.2μU/mL), HbA1c (−0.36), triglycerides (−36.5 mg/dL), HDL cholesterol (+2.1 mg/dL), and LDL cholesterol (−15.4 mg/dL) with moderate certainty
