Protocol summary

Study aim
The aim of this study is to determine the effects of selenium supplementation on metabolic profiles, inflammatory factors and biomarkers of oxidative stress in Coronary Heart Disease (CVD).
Design
Study design: Parallel double-blind (both patients and researchers) randomized controlled clinical trial. Random assignment will be done by the use of computer-generated random numbers.
Settings and conduct
Population and sample size: 60 subjects with CVD eligible and referred to Outpatient Cardiology Clinic affiliated to Kashan University of Medical Sciences, Kashan, Iran in the study will be selected.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Invituals aged 40-85 years diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and CHD will be included in this study. Exclusion criteria: Smokers, consuming selenium or antioxidant supplements within the past 3 months, having an acute myocardial infarction within the past 3 months, having cardiac surgery within the past 3 months and a major renal or liver failure.
Intervention groups
Intervention: Patients will be assigned to receive either 200 µg selenium supplements (intervention group: n=30) or placebo (control group: n=30). Fasting blood samples will be taken at baseline and after 8-wk intervention to measure metabolic profiles, inflammatory factor and biomarkers of oxidative stress. Start and End Date of Intervention: 8 weeks
Main outcome variables
Outcomes: Biomarkers of insulin metabolism and hs-CRP (primary outcomes), and lipid and metabolic profiles (secondry outcomes) will be quantified at the study baseline and end-of-trial.
