Three randomized controlled trials included in this review demonstrated that there was a decrease in plasma total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c) concentrations, in addition to an increase in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c) concentration.

The benefits of apple intake are linked to the content of some nutrients and bioactive compounds present, which contribute to the antioxidant power of apples, especially flavonoids such as procyanidins, procyanidin B2 and epicatechin.
