Effects of Ginsenoside Supplementation on Insulin Resistance and Cardiometabolic Risk Factors in Men With Metabolic Syndrome: a Randomized Controlled Trial.
Effects of Ginsenoside Supplementation on Insulin Resistance and Cardiometabolic Risk Factors in Men With Metabolic Syndrome: a Randomized Controlled Trial.
Aim : Investigated the effects of Korean red ginseng supplementation on metabolic parameters such as cholesterol, blood pressure and glucose.
Randomized Control Trial.
Methods : A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single-center study in 60 subjects who are not taking drugs that could affect metabolic and vascular function. Subjects will be randomized into a Korean red ginseng (3.0g/d) group or placebo group for a 4-week study.
We will collect anthropometric measurements, blood for laboratory testing, inflammatory marker, hormones and mitochondrial DNA copy number.
Subject : Older than 40 years of age, presented with metabolic syndrome. Subjects were excluded if they were taking drugs that could affect metabolic and vascular function, including BP control drug, anti-diabetic drugs and lipid-lowering drugs.
Measurement : We will collect anthropometric measurements and blood for laboratory testing at the initial(week 0) and final (week 4)visits. Serum levels of blood glucose, insulin, total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol,triglyceride, and DNA copy number of mitochondria.
