Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Dyslipidemias
Arterial Stiffness
Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2
Registration Number
NCT04532385
Lead Sponsor
Centro Universitario de Ciencias de la Salud, Mexico
Brief Summary

The main objectives of this study were to evaluate the effect of a 12-week supplementation with GTE (400 mg every 12 hours) on serum lipids, arterial stiffness and inflammatory cytokines in patients with T2DM.

Detailed Description

A 12 week randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled trial was conducted in patients with T2DM to evaluate the effect of green tea extract (sunphenon 90D, TAIYO international, Minneapolis, US) at a 400 mg/12 hrs dose or calcined magnesia (400 mg/12 hrs) on lipids, anthropometric variables, arterial stiffness and inflammatory cytokines.
