Cinnamon may have therapeutic benefits on lipid profile, liver enzymes, insulin resistance, and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease patients.
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease ( NAFLD ) is the most prevalent cause of hepatic injury in the world . One of the most important therapeutic strategies for this disease is modulating insulin resistance and oxidative stress . In this study , we investigated the hypothesis that supplementation with cinnamon exerts an insulin sensitizer effect in patients with NAFLD . In a double-blind , placebo-controlled trial with two parallel groups , fifty patients with NAFLD were r and omized to receive daily supplementation with either two capsules of cinnamon ( each capsule contain 750 mg cinnamon ) or 2 placebo capsules , daily for 12 weeks . During the intervention , all patients were given advice on how to implement a balanced diet and physical activity into their daily lives . In the treatment group ( P < .05 ) , significant decreases in HOMA ( Homeostatic Model Assessment ) index , FBS ( fasting blood glucose ) , total cholesterol , triglyceride , ALT ( alanine aminotransferase ) , AST ( aspartate aminotransferase ) , GGT ( gamma glutamine transpeptidase ) , and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein were seen , but there was no significant change in serum high-density lipoproteins levels ( P = .122 ) . In both groups , low-density lipoproteins decreased significantly ( P < .05 ) . In conclusion , the study suggests that taking 1500 mg cinnamon daily may be effective in improving NAFLD characteristics
