Protocol summary

Study aim
To determine the supplementation effect of taurine on serum levels of endothelial markers, metabolic parameters, adipokines, inflammatory and glycemic indicators and nutritional status in patients with type 2 diabetes
Design
Randomized double-blind clinical trial with two arm parallel groups phase 3 trial
Settings and conduct
The trial will be conducted at outpatient cardiology clinic of Imam Reza center affiliated to Kermanshah University of Medical Sciences, Iran. All the patients will be screened by an expert endocrinologist for eligibility. Those willing to take part in the study will be carefully evaluated with reference to inclusion criteria. Then, they will be requested to sign an informed consent. A third party who is blind to the study will give the sequence extracted from allocation software. After an overnight fasting, blood will be collected and supplements will be provided to the participants. supplementation duration will be 8 weeks.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
120 patients with type 2 diabetes are included in the study. Patients with cardiovascular, renal, hepatic, hypothyroidism, and hyperthyroidism and those who have received supplementary foods in the last 3 months will not be included in the study.
Intervention groups
Intervention group: will consume 3 milliliters of Turin capsules daily. (placebo) control group: Take 3 capsules containing maltodextrin daily.
Main outcome variables
serum levels of endothelial markers, metabolic parameters, adipokines, inflammatory and glycemic indicators and nutritional status in patients with type 2 diabetes
