Protocol summary

Study aim
1- Comparison of fasting serum glucose and insulin, HbA1c level and Homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) between two groups of intervention and placebo 2. Comparison of fasting serum levels of total cholesterol, triglyceride, HDL-C, LDL-C between two groups of intervention and placebo 3. Comparison of fasting serum levels of adiponectin, resistin, IL-6, TNF-α, Hs-CRP, ICAM and VCAM between two groups of intervention and placebo 4. Comparison of mean systolic and diastolic blood pressure between two groups of intervention and placebo
Design
Double-blind clinical trial with control group, with parallel design, and randomized with permuted-block randomizations
Settings and conduct
This study will be carried out in health centers and public health clinics of Semnan University of Medical Sciences. Food supplements and placebo will be prepared by the pharmaceutical company outside the research environment in sealed and non-transparent packaging, and will be available to researchers after encoding. Until the end of the study, patients and researchers will not be aware of the content of coding boxes.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria were pre-diabetes diagnosis within the past 12 months, age between 35-65, and BMI between 25 and 40 kg/m2. Non-inclusion criteria include type 1 and type 2 diabetes, subjects treated with antibiotics over the past three months, people with digestive disorders, cardiovascular diseases, endocrine disorders, kidney dysfunction and malignancies, pregnant and lactating women, smokers, drug users, alcohol and drug users, regular consumption of food products and probiotic supplements, regular use of high-dose food supplements, and people with major changes in weight, diet and lifestyle in past three months.
Intervention groups
Intervention group: capsule containing probiotics Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium longum Placebo group: capsule containing maltodextrin, with similar shape, weight and size
Main outcome variables
The main outcome of this study is the levels of HbA1c. Other consequences include HOMA-IR levels and serum insulin , lipid profiles, adiponectin, resistin, TNF-α, IL-6, Hs-CRP, VCAM, and ICAM levels, and blood pressure.

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
Participants will be randomized to receive probiotic or placebo supplementation. Randomization will conduct based on permuted-block randomizations, stratified by gender and BMI. For this purpose, a random number table will be used. Allocation concealment will be performed by a statistician uninformed about the intervention and control groups.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Double blinded
Blinding description
The patients and the main investigators will not be aware of the type of intervention received in the two groups. Supplements and placebo will be prepared by the pharmaceutical company outside the research environment in sealed and non-transparent packaging, and will be available to researchers after encoding. Until the end of the study, patients and researchers will not be aware of the content and method of coding supplementation and placebo.
