Study aim
-
Determining the effect of consumption symbiotic supplement (Lactobacillus Acidophilus and Cinnamon) on lipid profile (LDL,HDL,CHOL,TG), inflammatory (TNFα, CRP), anti inflammatory( IL10), antioxidant factors and glycemic index in diabetic type 2 patients.
-
Design
-
In this research, 120 eligible diabetic type2 patients were chosen purposefully and a code was allocated to each one of them. Then, patients were randomly divided into one control and three intervention groups. This study is a double blind randomized clinical test. The randomization method is block randomization and random numbers table. Clinical trial phase:2-3
-
Settings and conduct
-
Setting: Preparing probiotic bacteria: at first, in laboratory, lactobacillus acidophilus bacteria is cultured and after freez drying filled in the cap to 108 cfu (cap A). 0.5 grams Cinnamon powder is filled in the cap (cap B). 0.5 grams Rice flour is filled in another cap (cap C) as the placebo. Place of randomization is the clinic.The study is double blind. The person who put drugs in the cans and tags on them, person who select eligible patients, person who block and specify drug and placebo and the physician and the patients don’t know about contents.
