The aim of this study is to examine the effects of concentrated pomegranate juice on serum lipid profile and some inflammatory factors in patients with type 2 diabetes. Forty patients aged between 25-60 years old from both sexes are recruited. Patients consume 50gr/day concentrated pomegranate juice for 4 weeks. Anthropometric and blood pressure measurements, 3-days food-record questionnaire ,physical activity and fasting blood samples were collected at the beginning and at the end of the study. Fasting blood sugar, lipid profile, TNF- a, IL-6,hs -CRP and adiponectin levels are measured. LDL are calculated by formula. The participants are asked not to change their regular diet, medicine and activity during the study.
