A double-blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled study evaluating the impact of dates vinegar consumption on blood biochemical and hematological parameters in patients with type 2 diabetes
Abstract
Methods: Current research focused on fifty-five subjects having blood sugar more than126 mg/dL. Participants ingested dates vinegar (20 mL) daily into their normal diets for a period of 10 weeks. Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), fasting blood sugar (FBS), total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), creatinine (Cr), urea, complete blood count (CBC), alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), potassium and folate levels were analyzed before, after 5 weeks and after the experiment Results: Dates vinegar improved the blood concentrations of HbA1c (6.80 ±2.34 to 6.17 ± 2.14 (%)), FBS (171.43 ±36.74 to 147.56 ± 38.86 mg/dL,p=0.001), TC (218.10 ± 16.9 to 191.14 ± 14.23 mg/dL, p<0.001), ALT (24.94 ± 5.03 to 21.88±5.08 IU/L, p=0.002) and ALP (264.32± 45.26 to 257.30 ±44.21 IU/L) and folate (34.6 ± 6.6 to 41.7 ± 6.5 nmol/ L, p<0.001).
Conclusion: Dates vinegar significantly improved the total cholesterol.The other blood biochemical and hematological factors were also improved however; the improvements were not significant.
