## Objectives: Garlic can play an essential role in the prevention of atherosclerosis, but the research addressing the effect of garlic on the concentration of lipoprotein(a) [lp(a)] has not been fully demonstrated. the aim of this study was to assess the effect of garlic on plasma lp(a) concentrations through systematic review of literature and meta-analysis of available randomized controlled trials. ## Methods: The literature search included scopus, pubmed-medline, isi web of science, and google scholar databases up to march 10, 2015 to identify randomized controlled trials investigating the effect of garlic on plasma lp(a) concentrations. two independent reviewers extracted data on study characteristics, methods, and outcomes. overall, the effect of garlic on plasma lp(a) levels was reported in six trials. ## Results: Meta-analysis did not suggest a significant alteration in plasma lp(a) levels after garlic consumption (weighted mean difference [wmd] = 16.86%; 95% confidence interval, -4.59 to 38.31; p = 0.124). this result was robust in the leave-one-out sensitivity analysis. when the studies were categorized according to the duration of supplementation, there was no effect in
