Abstract

Oxidative stress has a key role in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Alternative therapy with antioxidants has been tested as a potential approach to curb the effects of this disorder. Here, we present a protocol to set up a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial to assess the impact of treatment with a mixture of curcuminoids on a number of physiological and molecular biomarker measures with the main focus on determining the total antioxidant capacity.
