About this study

Metabolic syndrome is a condition which is recognized by abdominal obesity, dyslipidemia, hyperglycemia, and hypertension. Curcumin has beneficial effects such as antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. nanomcielle curcumin will be used in this study because of the low bioavailability , fast metabolism and low absorption of curcumin powder. Therefore, this study is planned to determine the effects of supplementation of nanomicelle curcumin on glycemic control, serum lipid profile ,blood pressure and anthropometric measurements in patients with metabolic syndrome.

Being tested
nanomicielle curcumin, placebo

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • nanomicielle curcuminDietary supplement

    Participants will be selected from those referring to endocrinology clinics of Shohadaye YaftAbad and Pars Hospital (Tehran, Iran) who meet the inclusion criteria. Each subject will give informed written consent to participate in the study. 10 cc fasting blood samples will be collected from each subject at baseline and at the end of trial. Anthropometric parameters will be measured.In order to control the confounding factors in patients, they will be randomly assigned to receive either nanomicelle curcumin or placebo. nanomcelle curcumin and placebo supplements will be provided from the Elixir Nano Sina Company the patients will advise not to change their lifestyle during the study.
