The researchers found that cinnamon, in daily doses of 120 mg/d to 6 g/d for four to 18 weeks, was associated with a significant reduction in levels of fasting plasma glucose (?24.59 mg/dL), but no significant effect on glycosylated hemoglobin. Cinnamon intake also was linked to significant changes in , including decreases in levels of total cholesterol (?15.60 mg/dL), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) (?9.42 mg/dL), and triglycerides (?29.59 mg/dL), and increases in levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) (1.66 mg/dL).
