ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
This research was to examine the effects of synbiotic intake on minerals, liver enzymes, and blood pressure in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D).METHODS:
This randomized, cross-over clinical trial was performed among 62 diabetic patients. Persons were randomly assigned to intake either a synbiotic (n = 62) or a control food (n = 62) for 6 weeks. A 3-week washout period was applied following which persons were crossed over to the alternate intervention arm for an additional 6 weeks. The synbiotic was consisted of Lactobacillus sporogenes (1 × 107 CFU), 0.04 g inulin (HPX) as prebiotic. Persons were asked to consume the synbiotic and control foods 27 g a day. Blood pressure was measured, and blood samples were taken at baseline and after 6-week intervention to assess calcium, magnesium, iron, alkaline phosphatase, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, and total bilirubin.RESULTS:
The consumption of a synbiotic food, compared to the control food, resulted in a significant rise of calcium (0.66 vs. -0.14 mg/dL, P = 0.03) and iron (5.06 vs. -9.98 mg/dL, P = 0.03). The decrease of total bilirubin (0.08 vs. -0.04 mg/dL; P = 0.009) was also seen in the synbiotic group compared with the control group.CONCLUSIONS:
Overall, synbiotic in T2D patients had beneficial effects on calcium, iron, and total bilirubin concentrations.
