Abstract

Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) is a horticultural crop containing phytochemicals that have the potential to provide health benefits. Several studies have shown that okra consumption can affect the levels of metabolic modulators, oxidative stress, and inflammatory biomarkers. Therefore, this systematic review aims to comprehensively evaluate the scientific evidence regarding the effect of okra consumption on metabolic and inflammatory parameters based on the type of okra and the type of okra preparation. This study is a systematic review that follows the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, a literature search was conducted in five electronic databases. The article selection process was carried out using the PICOS framework, while the methodological quality was assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias (RoB 2) approach. Data were analyzed descriptively due to heterogeneity of study designs that precluded meta-analysis. A total of 124 articles were identified in the initial search phase after removing duplicates. After title and abstract screening, 51 studies met the inclusion criteria and were included in the analysis. Risk of bias assessment indicated that most studies had a low risk of bias in almost all domains assessed. The synthesis results indicate that okra consumption has the potential to have positive effects on lipid profiles, glycemic control, and modulation of inflammatory and oxidative stress biomarkers.

Abstract

Blastocystis sp., an intestinal protozoan widely distributed in the human gastrointestinal tract, exhibits a global presence, with prevalence varying by region and generally higher in developing countries compared to developed ones. In Indonesia, reported prevalence varies considerably by region and study population, ranging from approximately 34% to 72% in several regional studies. This protozoan is water-borne and primarily transmitted through cysts via the fecal-oral route. Factors such as poor hygiene, immigration, travel to tropical developing countries, contact with animals, and consumption of contaminated food or water elevate the risk of infection. The pathogenesis in humans remains unclear, as infections may either manifest symptoms or remain asymptomatic, partly due to diagnostic limitations and variation in virulence across subtypes. This review aims to elucidate the characteristics and pathogenicity of Blastocystis sp. subtypes, particularly ST3, which is frequently dominant in symptomatic patients, and to discuss ongoing controversies in the literature.
