Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Change in oxidative stress biomarkers levels: lipid peroxidation index, nitric oxide metabolites, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), superoxide anion radical (O2-), and glutation (GSH), catalasis(CAT) and superoxid dismutasis(SOD).

    ELISA assey

    From Baseline and after 8 weeks

  • Change in proinflammatori parametars:interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF- α), high sensitive CRP (hsCRP), leptin, resistin ,vaspin, chemerin ,lipokalin -2 and katepsin

    ELISA assey

    From Baseline and after 8 weeks

  • Change in antiinflammatori parametars:interleukin -5 (IL-5) ,interleukin-10(IL-10), interleukin-12 (IL-12) ,adiponectin and omentin

    ELISA assey

    From Baseline and after 8 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (8)

  • Change in inflammation marker level : high sensitivity CRP Turbid mertic test

    From Baseline and after 8 weeks

  • Change in total choleterol (TC), low -density lipoprotein ( LDL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and trglicerides Turbid mertic test

    From Baseline,after 4 and 8 weeks

  • Change in serum levels homocystein

    From Baseline,after 4 and 8 weeks

  • Change in serum levels of vitamin B6-piridoxin ,vitamin B9-folic acid ,vitamin B12-cianocobalamin

    From Baseline, after 4 and 8 weeks

    From Baseline,after 4 and after 8 weeks

  • +3 more secondary outcomes
