Brief summary

The aim of the study is to assess the safety and efficacy of Curcumin supplementation in combination to the conventional therapy in improving the clinical outcomes, oxidative stress and inflammation in diabetic patients with risk of ASCVD.

Detailed description

Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is one of the most devastating consequences of Diabetes Mellitus (DM), especially when combined with other comorbid conditions such as dyslipidemia and hypertension. To lessen the probability of ASCVD, modifying an individual's lifestyle and regulating one's lipid profile, blood pressure, and glucose levels are all beneficial approaches that decrease the risk of ASCVD occurrence. Numerous diseases, including hypertension, dyslipidemia, and diabetes mellitus, have been shown to be significantly influenced by both oxidative stress and inflammation. Curcumin is thought to regulate blood pressure, lipid profile, blood glucose levels. Moreover, It is claimed that curcumin can alleviate inflammation and oxidative stress. Curcumin is therefore suggested to have a beneficial role in lowering the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases.

Interventions

DIETARY_SUPPLEMENTPuritans Pride Turmeric curcumin® 500 mg

Turmeric curcumin 500 mg per oral capsule of Puritans Pride company supplement composed of Turmeric (curcuma longa) root 450mg and Turmeric extract (curcuma longa root 50mg ) standardized to contain 95%curcuminoids.It is added because of its possibility to reduce the risk of ASCVD by lowering blood pressure, lipid profile, blood glucose, inflammation, and oxidative stress.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Heart RateChange from Baseline Heart Rate at 14 weeksPulse in bpm
(Atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases risk score) Low-risk (<5%) Borderline risk (5% to 7.4%) Intermediate risk (7.5% to 19.9%) High risk (≥20%)Change from Baseline ASCVD risk scoring at 14 weeks10 year ASCVD risk calculation by using Pooled cohort equations
Blood Glucose LevelChange from Baseline Blood Glucose Level at 14 weeksFasting blood glucose (FBG) in mg/dl , Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) in percentage
Lipid ProfileChange from Baseline Lipid profile at 14 weeksSerum sample to determine ( Triglyceride level , LDL ,HDL ,Total cholesterol ) in mg/dl
Blood PressureChange from Baseline Blood Pressure at 14 weeks(SBP and DBP) in mmHg by using Sphygmomanometer

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Concentration of Malondialdehyde (MDA)Change from Baseline MDA concentration at 14 weeksSerum sample to determine MDA (Oxidative stress marker)
International normalized ratioChange from Baseline INR level at 14 weeksBlood sample to determine INR level for those patients receiving anticoagulants
Serum FerritinChange from Baseline Ferritin concentration at 14 weeksSerum Ferritin for those patients who are suspected to be anemic or are anemic.
Concentration of Tumor necrosis factor alpha ( TNF-alpha)Change from Baseline TNF-alpha concentration at 14 weeksSerum sample to determine TNF alpha (Inflammatory biomarker)
