简要总结
Metabolic syndrome (MS) is a significant risk factor of cardiovascular disease. The purposes of this study are going to investigate the effects of Graptopetalum paraguayense E. Walther on the oxidative stress, antioxidant enzyme activity and inflammation in subjects with metabolic syndromerelation. The investigators will recruit MS patients(n=50)and the inclusion criteria of MS are according to the Bureau of Health Promotion, Department of Health in Taiwan (2007). The MS subjects are randomly assigned to placebo(n=25) and Graptopetalum paraguayense E. Walther supplements(n=25)groups. Hopefully, the results of this study could provide the information of Graptopetalum paraguayense E. Walther supplements to what has been know in MS subjects.

入选标准
- •The inclusion criteria of MS in adult are according to the Bureau of Health Promotion, Department of Health in Taiwan (2007), if subjects had 3 of the following 5 characteristics: (1) abdominal obesity (waist circumference >= 90 cm in men and >= 80 cm in women), (2) impaired fasting glucose ( >= 5.6 mmol/L), (3) hypertriglyceridemia ( >= 1.7 mmol/L), (4) low HDL-C (< 1.0 mmol/L in men and < 1.3 mmol/L in women), and (5) increased blood pressure (SBP >= 130 mmHg and DBP >= 85 mmHg). Subjects using antidiabetic or antihypertensive or lipid-lowering medications were considered to have elevated fasting blood glucose or elevated blood pressures or dyslipidemia, respectively.
排除标准
- •Subjects with liver, renal diseases, undergoing statin therapy, pregnancy women, and taking antioxidant vitamins supplements were excluded.
结局指标
主要结局
Antioxidant and inflammation
时间窗: 12 weeks
The study are going to measure the concentrations of lipid peroxidation markers (TBARS and ox-LDL) and antioxidant enzymes activities (catalase, glutathione peroxidase, and superoxide dismutase), and the level of inflammatory markers (hs-CRP, TNF-alfa, IL-1, IL-6 and adiponectin) in all subjects of this study.
次要结局
