Study aim
-
Assessing the effect of Vanadium enriched yeast on anthropometric indices, quality of life, glycemic control, lipid profile, and gene expression of PTP1B, PTEN, MAPK, S6K and NFƘB in obese adult patients with type II Diabetes
-
Design
-
This is a parallel, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled
clinical trial.
-
Settings and conduct
-
A structured questionnaire for collecting demographic information, 24 hr food recall and physical activity level. Anthropocentric indices will be measured. The patients will randomly assign to
two groups, intervention group receiving vanadium enriched yeast capsules and control group consuming
yeast capsules for 12 weeks. For biochemical
measurements, fasting blood samples will be
gathered. Statistical
analysis will be performed using SPSS.
