Effect of Rosmarinus Officinalis Extract on Oxidative Stress and Inflammatory Biomarkers in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes(T2DM)

This study will evaluate the effects of Rosmarinus officinalis (rosemary) extract on oxidative stress and inflammation in patients with type 2 diabetes. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either rosemary extract or a placebo for 12 weeks. The study aims to determine whether rosemary extract can improve health markers related to oxidative stress, inflammation, and metabolic function.

This randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial aims to evaluate the effects of Rosmarinus officinalis extract on oxidative stress, inflammation, and metabolic parameters in patients with type 2 diabetes. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either rosemary extract or placebo for a duration of 12 weeks. Primary outcomes include changes in oxidative stress biomarkers such as malondialdehyde (MDA), antioxidant enzyme activity including superoxide dismutase (SOD), and glutathione (GSH) levels. Secondary outcomes include inflammatory markers such as interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), as well as metabolic parameters, liver function tests, and renal function biomarkers. This study seeks to provide scientific evidence on the potential role of Rosmarinus officinalis as a complementary therapeutic strategy to reduce oxidative stress and inflammation in patients with type 2 diabetes.
