The aim of this research was to investigate the effects of nutraceuticals including bitter melon, fenugreek, cinnamon, alpha-lipoic acid, zinc, biotin, chromium, and cholecalciferol on glycemic control, insulin sensitivity, lipid profiles, oxidative stress, and inflammatory markers in hyperglycemia. The study design was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. Subjects with hyperglycemia were randomly divided into 2 groups. The treatment group ( n = 52) was given a nutraceutical and the control group ( n = 50) was provided with a placebo for 12 weeks. Fasting blood glucose (FBG), hemoglobin A1c (HbA1C), homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), lipid profiles, biomarkers of oxidative stress, and inflammation were assessed before and after the intervention at 6 weeks and 12 weeks. Nutraceutical supplementation demonstrated a statistically significant decrease in FBG (13.4% and 18.9%), HbA1C (6.5% and 11.3%), and HOMA-IR (28.9% and 35.2%) compared with the placebo. Moreover, low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) level was significantly reduced in the nutraceutical group (7.1% and 9.3%). Furthermore, the nutraceutical significantly decreased oxidative stress markers, oxidized LDL-C (14.8% and 18.9%) and malondialdehyde (16.6% and 26.2%) compared with the placebo. In conclusion, this nutraceutical can improve glycemic control, insulin resistance, lipid profiles, and oxidative stress markers in hyperglycemic subjects. Therefore, it has the potential to decrease cardiovascular disease risk factors. Clinical trial registration: TCTR20180907001, www.clinicaltrials.in.th.

Background: Wild pistachio (Pistacia Atlantica mutica) species with wide distribution in Iran have different nutrition properties and may have therapeutic effects in metabolic syndrome. Metabolic syndrome, as a prevalent health problem, is a main risk factor for different chronic diseases such as diabetes, fatty liver and cardiovascular diseases. The present study aimed to evaluate the preventive effects of mixture, kernel, and hull oil of wild pistachio (WP) on oxidative stress markers, liver function and histopathological findings in metabolic syndrome induced rats. Materials and Methods: After oil extraction by cold press method and chemical analysis, rats were divided into 6 groups. Group 1 received normal saline;  group 2 received 2cc fructose solution and 0.5cc normal saline; and groups 3, 4, 5 and 6 received 2 cc fructose solution and 0.5 cc sunflower oil, mixture, hull and kernel oils of WP for 10 weeks, respectively. Then, glycemic indices, oxidative stress, liver enzymes and histopathological examination were determined using standard laboratory tests. Results: WP Kernel and mixture oils notably decreased the fasting blood sugar and insulin resistance compared with the fructose group. Insulin level was significantly increased in the kernel oil group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in oxidative stress, liver enzymes and histopathology parameters among the groups. Conclusion: Kernel oil of WP improved hyperglycemia, insulin resistance and insulin secretion, but the changes in oxidative stress markers, liver enzymes and histopathologic results were not significant among the groups. [GMJ.2019;In press:e1238]
