Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of fenofibrate versus curcumin on glycemic status, lipids profile, hs-CRP, sirtuin-1 and fetuin-A in type 2 diabetic patients who are taking glimepiride.

Detailed Description
Method & Proposal Steps
1- Approval will be obtained from Research Ethics Committee of Faculty of Pharmacy, Damanhour University. 2- All participants agreed to take part in this clinical study and provide informed consent. 3- (60) Patients with DM type 2 who's taking Glimepiride will be enrolled from Internal Medicine Department, Tanta University Hospital. 4- Serum samples will be collected for measuring the biomarkers. 5- All enrolled patients will be mentioned as two groups; Group I are patients who will be prescribed glimepiride plus fenofibrate. Group II are patients who will be prescribed glimepiride plus curcumin. 6- All patients will be followed up during 3 months' period. 7- At the end of 3 months on the new regimen, steps 4 will be repeated. 8- Statistical tests appropriate to the study design will be conducted to evaluate the significance of the results. 9- Measuring outcome: The primary outcome is the change of serum levels of the measured markers after 3 months and lipid profile. 10- Results, conclusion, discussion and recommendations will be given.
Methodology Serum levels of fetuin-A, and Sirtuin1 (SIRT1) will be measured ELISA. Lipid profile. Fasting Blood glucose and 2 hrs postprandial Blood Glucose. Hb A1C will be measured. BMI of the patients will be measured before and after the study. High sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) will be measured.
