Serum triglycerides and fasting glycemia in patients with MS in the control group (C) and supplemented group (S) at the beginning, at day 15, and at day 45 after intervention. Evaluation of triglycerides (TG, (a)) and glucose (b) in patients with metabolic syndrome. Biochemical parameters were evaluated before (baseline) and 15 (15C and 15S) and 45 days (45C and 45S) after supplementation. Closed bars (control group—not supplemented) and open bars were supplemented with 14 g of goji berry daily.
