Abstract

Investigation of the effect of oral administration of rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) as powder on lipid profiles and blood glucose in healthy and type-2 diabetic human patients was done. Forty-five type-2 diabetic patients and 15 non-diabetic persons of age 40 years or older participated in the study. Patients selected in this study had fasting blood glucose in the range 160-300 mg/dl, and high lipid profiles levels. In addition, patients were allowed to take their routine diet and usual diabetic medicine but not any other health medication. All participants were told to take 3 g of rosemary per day for 4 weeks. Plasma lipid profiles and blood glucose were measured before and after rosemary administration. Significant effect of rosemary is obviously noticed in diabetic patients. Lipid profiles (low density lipoprotein LDL, triglycerides and cholesterol) decreased by 31-35%, and blood glucose decreased by 21%. In addition, high density lipoprotein (HDL) in both diabetic and non diabetic persons increased by 22%. Rosemary showed favorable changes in lipid profiles and blood glucose levels in type-2 diabetic patients. Key words: Type-2 diabetes, rosemary, dyslipidemia, blood glucose.

迷迭香(Rosmarinus officinalis)对2型糖尿病患者血脂和血糖的影响

本文研究了迷迭香粉剂口服对健康人及2型糖尿病患者血脂及血糖的影响。45名2型糖尿病患者和15名40岁及以上的非糖尿病患者参加了这项研究。本研究中选择的患者空腹血糖在160-300 mg/dl范围内，血脂水平高。此外，患者被允许服用常规饮食和常规糖尿病药物，但不服用任何其他健康药物。所有参与者被告知每天服用3克迷迭香，持续4周。在迷迭香给药前后测定血脂和血糖。迷迭香对糖尿病患者疗效显著。脂质谱(低密度脂蛋白、甘油三酯和胆固醇)下降了31-35%，血糖下降了21%。此外，糖尿病人和非糖尿病人的高密度脂蛋白(HDL)都增加了22%。迷迭香对2型糖尿病患者的血脂和血糖水平有良好的影响。关键词:2型糖尿病，迷迭香，血脂异常，血糖
