Study Overview
Brief Summary
This study evaluates the effect of ginger on NF-KB level in Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells in type 2 diabetic patients. Half of patients will receive ginger, while the other half will receive placebo.
Detailed Description
ginger is a plant with lots of phytochemicals which have antioxidant effects. It reduces the NF-KB levels in the cells because of its antioxidant effects. It can reduces insulin resistance as a result of NF-KB reduction in diabetes.
