The Effects of Nanomicielle Curcumin on Oxidative Stress, Systemic Inflammation, Adiponectin in Serum and NF-kB in Blood Mononuclear Cells, in Patients With Metabolic Syndrome

Metabolic syndrome is a public health challenge that includes a range of conditions including abdominal obesity, dyslipidemia, hyperglycemia, and hypertension. The syndrome is associated with an increase in the risk of Cardiovascular disease and death. Curcumin is a very active compound obtained from turmeric root. Curcumin has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, and is also involved in the regulation of several signaling pathways. Since curcumin powder has low bioavailability, fast metabolism and low absorption, nanomicielle curcumin will be used in this study. Therefore, this study is planned to determine the effects of supplementation of nanomicielle curcumin on oxidative stress, systemic inflammation, adiponectin in serum and NF-kB in peripheral blood mononuclear cells in patients with metabolic syndrome.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Active Comparator: intervention group
80 mg nanomicielle curcumin capsules once a day for 12 weeks
Dietary supplement: nanomicielle curcumin
Participants will be selected from those referring to endocrinology clinics of Shohadaye YaftAbad and Pars Hospital (Tehran, Iran) who meet the inclusion criteria. Each subject will give informed written consent to participate in the study. 10 cc fasting blood samples will be collected from each subject at baseline and at the end of trial. Anthropometric parameters will be measured.In order to control the confounding factors in patients, they will be randomly assigned to receive either nanomicielle curcumin or placebo. nanomicielle curcumin and placebo supplements will be provided from the Elixir Nano Sina Company the patients will advise not to change their lifestyle during the study.
Placebo Comparator: control group
placebo capsules once a day for 12 weeks
Dietary supplement: placebo
