    Randomization will be done by the use of computer-generated random numbers.
    To decrease potential confounding effects, after balanced blocked randomisation, all participants will be allocated into two treatment groups to take either supplements or placebo. Randomization will be done by the use of computer software.
    تصادفی سازی با استفاده از جدول اعداد تصادفی ایجاد شده توسط کامپیوتر انجام خواهد شد.
    برای کاهش اثرات مخدوش کنندگی بالقوه، بعد از تصادفی سازی بلوکی بالانس شده، همه شرکت کنندگان به دو گروه برای دریافت مکمل یاری یا پلاسبو تخصیص داده می شوند. تصادفی سازی با استفاده از نرم افزار کامپیوتری انجام خواهد شد.

Protocol summary

Study aim
Objective: The aim of this study is to determine the effects of combined vitamin E and zinc supplementation on metabolic profiles and gene expression related to insulin and lipid in patients with gestational diabetes mellitus.
Design
Study design: Randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial. Randomization will be done by the use of computer-generated random numbers. Patients will be assigned into two groups to receive combined vitamin E and zinc supplement (n=30) or placebo (n=30).
Settings and conduct
Among patients with gestational diabetes referred to Naghavi gynecology Clinic affiliated to Kashan University of Medical Sciences, 60 patients will be selected according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Participants, investigators or the assessors of the outcomes are unaware of the study groups. Supplements and placebos are similar in shape and size. Fasting blood samples will be taken at baseline and 6 weeks after the intervention. At the beginning and the end of the intervention: 6 weeks.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Patients with gestational diabetes aged 18 to 40 years. Inclusion criteria: Patients with gestational diabetes aged 18 to 40 years. Exclusion criteria: Taking zinc and vitamin E supplements 3 months before the intervention, insulin therapy required during the intervention, pre-eclampsia, eclampsia, hypo and hyperthyroidism.
Intervention groups
Intervention group: 400 IU vitamin E (Zahravi, Tabriz, Iran) and 30 mg elemental zinc (Donyaye Behdasht, Tehran, Iran) daily for 6 weeks orally. Control group: Placebo (Barij Essence, Kashan, Iran), daily for 6 weeks orally.
Main outcome variables
Outcomes: Markers of glycemic control (primary outcomes) and lipid profile and gene expression related to insulin and lipid (secondary outcomes) will be quantified at study baseline and end-of-trial.
