Protocol summary

Study aim
determining the effects of pomegranate seed oil supplementation on the PPAR gamma and GLUT4 genes expression and the serum levels of IL-6, TNF-α and hs-CRP inflammatory factors and Glycemic indexes in obese type 2 diabetic patients
Design
this study will be done on 60 type 2 diabetic patients in both genders. Subjects will be randomly divided into two intervention and control groups by considering the inclusion criteria (age between 30 to 50 years, BMI greater than 30 and less than 40, and fasting glucose equal to or greater than 126) and non- inclusion criteria (Pregnant women, lactating women, hormone replacement therapy, taking TZD and insulin medications) of the study.
Settings and conduct
This randomized, controlled clinical trial is conducted on obese patients with type 2 diabetes who are referred to Tabriz University of Medical Sciences clinics with a duration of more than 6 months. After entering the study, the subjects will be divided into two groups of intervention and control by simple randomization.The intervention group will receive 3 gr pomegranate seed oil softgels) 1 gr each( daily and the control group will receive similar amounts of placebo (paraffin) for 8 weeks. People are asked to take a softgel with breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Five cc fasting blood samples will collect from all participants at the beginning and end of the intervention. All the participant will complete short form of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire and 3-day food record at the beginning and end of the intervention.
