The results of this systematic review and meta‐ analysis suggest that probiotic and synbiotic supplementation may help to improve biomarkers of inflammation and oxidative stress in diabetic patients .
Abstract The role of gut microbiota in the management of diabetes has been shown .
Several current trials are investigating the effect of probiotics and prebiotics , which are widely used to modulate intestinal microbiota , on inflammatory factors and biomarkers of oxidative stress in diabetic patients ; however , their findings are controversial .
The aim of the current meta‐ analysis was to evaluate the effects of probiotic and synbiotic supplementation on levels of serum high‐sensitivity C‐reactive protein ( hs‐CRP ) and biomarkers of oxidative stress in diabetic patients .
Effects of probiotic yogurt consumption on inflammatory biomarkers in patients with type 2 diabetes
Introduction : The role of inflammatory cytokines in diabetes and its complications has been shown in some studies . The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of probiotic and conventional yogurt on inflammatory markers in patients with type 2 diabetes . Methods : Forty-four patients with type 2 diabetes were participated in this r and omized , double-blind controlled clinical trial and assigned to two intervention and control groups . The subjects in the intervention group consumed 300 g/d probiotic yogurt and subjects in the control group consumed 300 g/d conventional yogurt for 8 weeks . Anthropometric indices , dietary intakes , and serum levels of glucose , HbA1c , IL-6 , TNF-α and hs-CRP were evaluated at the beginning and end of the intervention . Results : For anthropometric indices and dietary intakes , no significant differences were seen within and between groups post intervention ( p > 0.05 ) . The consumption of probiotic yogurt caused significant decrease in HbA1c and TNF-α levels ( p= 0.032 and p= 0.040 , respectively ) in the intervention group . Conclusion : It is suggested that probiotic yogurt may be used as an alternative prevention approach and treatment method to control diabetic complications
