Anthocyanin-rich dark-colored berries: A bibliometric analysis and review of natural ally in combating glucolipid metabolic disorders.

Abstract

The risk of glycolipid metabolic disorders (GLMDs)-which encompass type 2 diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, obesity, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and atherosclerosis--is rising gradually and posing challenges to health care. With the popularity of healthy lifestyles, anthocyanin-rich berries have emerged as a potential dietary intervention. This review uses bibliometric analysis to synthesize current research on the role of anthocyanins in relieving GLMDs. Our examination of the literature underscores the diverse mechanisms by which anthocyanins exert their beneficial effects, including their intricate bioactivity and functional signaling pathways. The insights gleaned from anthocyanin research offer a promising avenue for harnessing the power of nature to support metabolic health and pave the way for integration into clinical strategies for GLMD management.
