Resveratrol, one of the phytochemicals with anti-inflammatory activity, has a high potential in treatment of type 2 diabetes. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of resveratrol on plasma and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) inflammatory factors in patients with type 2 diabetes in a double-blind randomized clinical trial. Sixty patients with type 2 diabetes were divided into two groups randomly (30, having resveratrol, 500 mg, twice daily, morning and evening for 60 days). The 2nd group (30 patients) receives the same amount of the placebo. All patients will receive routine medication for diabetes during the study. The lack of life-threatening diseases such as cancer, infectious diseases, cardiovascular and liver diseases are of the inclusion criteria for this study. At the first and the end of the study, blood sample are taken to measure the levels of glucose, HbA1c, lipid profile, plasma inflammatory factors, cytokine secretion capacity of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and frequency of CD14+ and CD16+ circulating monocytes.
