Abstract
Oxidative stress caused by hyperglycemia can lead to the intensification of hyperglycemia and an increased risk of diabetes complications. Spirulina platensis is a potent free-radical scavenger; it has the potential to be used as a substrate for fermentation by lactic acid bacteria. This study aimed to formulate two functional foods with antioxidant capacity (yogurt containing S. platensis powder / fermented S. platensis powder) for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) patients and compare the antioxidant effects in diabetic subjects. In this article, for the first time, the antioxidant effect of fermented and non-fermented Spirulina was compared in a clinical study in 'T2DM' patients. By blood sampling, clinical parameters such as FBS, GSH, FRAP, MDA, and CRP before and after each treatment were measured and results were compared between two groups of intervention. Both products as functional foods have a positive effect on the health of diabetic patients by reducing FBS and increasing total antioxidant capacity, and this positive effect is more obvious when yogurt contains fermented lactic acid S. platensis is consumed by T2DM patients.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
