Clinical Trial Summary

Current evidence supports a central role of inflammation in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and diabetes [57-60]. Diabetes Mellitus type 2 is an inflammatory atherothrombotic condition associated with high prevalence of thrombotic cardiovascular disease. In patient with DM type 2, this inflammation is reflected by elevated plasma levels of several biomarkers of inflammation such as C-reactive protein (CRP) [51-55]. HsCRP is considered as a strong predictive of cardiovascular risks and death [53, 61-72]. Besides its predictive role in determining cardiovascular risk, there is some evidence that CRP may represent an active participant in atherogenesis [54]. CRP is expressed in human atherosclerotic plaques and both vascular cells and monocytes/macrophages appear to represent a significant source of CRP in the inflammatory vessel wall [54].

Among the DM risk factors (like hypertension, atherogenic dyslipidemia, insulin resistance, impaired fibrinolysis, inflammatory profile), definitely, inflammation is the neglected one.

Moringa oleifera has been suggested to exert anti-inflammatory effects [42][43][45] and hypoglycemic property [80]. As with many reports of the nutritional or medicinal value of a natural product, there are an alarming number of purveyors of "healthful" food who are now promoting M. oleifera as a panacea. While much of this recent enthusiasm indeed appears to be justified, it is critical to separate scientific evidence from anecdote.

Herein, the investigators will investigate the effects of Moringa oleifera leaves supplementation on levels of inflammatory marker specifically hsCRP, hgbA1c level and clinical outocome in diabetic patients through a cohort study.


Clinical Trial Description

We performed a prospective cohort study of adult diabetics who were given 12-weeks supplementation of Moringa oleifera. Plasma hsCRP and serum HgbA1c were compared before and after treatment with M. oleifera. ;
