Hypertension, Metabolic Syndrome, Obesity, Supportive Care
Conditions
Brief summary
The present study aimed to investigate the effect of green coffee bean extract (GCBE) on the inflammatory biomarkers in obese patients with a metabolic syndrome via analyzing some inflammatory biomarkers as resistin, TNF-α, total sialic acid, homocysteine, high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and anti-inflammatory cytokine, adiponectin
Detailed description
160 obese patients supplemented with either GCBE capsules (800 mg) daily or placebo for 6 months and advised to take a balanced diet. Blood samples were collected at baseline and after three months of supplementation
