Hops
Hops/Nutrient depletion:
Glucose
Glucose: Colupulone from hops has been found to elevate serum glucose levels in diabetic mice, but it has also been shown to have either no effect, or to lower serum glucose levels, in nondiabetic mice (

;
51
). In patients with metabolic syndrome, a combination treatment containing rho-iso-alpha-acids from hops reduced fasting insulin levels (

).
Lipids
Lipids: In human research, a hop extract caused a decrease in total cholesterol and triglyceride levels in those with a total cholesterol level of 240mg/dL or more, and oxidized LDL antibodies (all p<0.05) (45). In patients with metabolic syndrome, a combination treatment containing hop extract reduced the levels of plasma LDL cholesterol, non-HDL cholesterol, total cholesterol, apolipoprotein (apo) B, triglycerides, and homocysteine; the apo B:apo A1 ratio, the cholesterol:HDL cholesterol ratio, and the triglyceride:HDL cholesterol ratio, and the total LDL particle number and the large HDL particle number (p<0.01) (
