“…The levels of various lipid profiles like TC, TG, and HDL‐c were moderately altered in the CWE group, but only the levels of LDL‐c were significantly lowered after 3 months of treatment with CWE. The above results are in concordance with the results of a recent meta‐analysis study conducted by Fallah and others (2018). Moreover, the activities of hepatic markers like GPT and GOT were considerably lowered upon administration with CWE.…”

“…The effects of microalgae supplementation on humans have been studied previously [ 9 , 10 ], and marine bioactive peptides from microalgae have shown therapeutic potential in the treatment or prevention of disease [ 11 ]. The different effects of microalgae supplementation are anti-inflammatory [ 12 ], antioxidant [ 13 ], hypotensive [ 14 ] and hypolipidemic [ 15 ], among others. Supplementation with some microalgae such as spirulina and chlorella has been well studied [ 16 , 17 ]; however, the effect of supplementation with Tetraselmis chuii (TC) is unknown.…”

“…The efficacy of Chlorella supplementation in reducing cardiovascular risk factors was assessed in a meta-analysis of 19 randomized controlled trials including 797 subjects [95]. This study concluded that Chlorella supplementation improves total cholesterol levels, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and fasting blood glucose levels but not triglyceride levels, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels, and body mass index.…”
