Study summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of probiotics ADR-1/GMNL-263 capsules (Lactobacillus reuteri ADR-1/ Lactobacillus reuteri GMNL-263) for the treatment of adults with type2 DM.

Read the detailed description

Background:Based on animal studies, intake of probiotic bacteria was suggested to improve insulin sensitivity by reducing inflammation.

Objective : The objective of this study was to determine the effects of supplementation with the probiotic strain Lactobacillus reuteri ADR-1(ADR-1) and Lactobacillus reuteri GMNL-263 (GMNL-263) over six months on metabolic profiles, intestinal microbiota profiles and biomarkers of inflammation in type 2 diabetes patents. Methods : This randomized double-blind placebo-controlled clinical trial was performed on 120 diabetic patients. Subjects were divided into 3 groups: 40 subjects in the group A received placebo, 40 subjects in the group B received ADR-1 (4 x 109 colony-forming units/d), and 40 subjects in the group C received GMNL-263. (2 x 1010 cells/d) for 6 months. Fasting blood samples were taken at baseline and after intervention to measure metabolic profiles and biomarkers of inflammation including C reactive protein (CRP), Interleukin 6 (IL-6) and Tumor necrosis factor-alpha( TNF-α). The intestinal microbiota profiles were detected in stool samples by real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Change in blood sugar

    Fasting blood samples of 120 diabetic patients will be were taken at baseline and after intervention to measure blood sugar(mg/dL) and HbA1c(%).

    Time frame: 6 months

  2. Change in blood fat

    Fasting blood samples of 120 diabetic patients will be were taken at baseline and after intervention to measure cholesterol(mg/dL) ,triglycerides(TG, mg/dl), high density lipoprotein (HDL, mg/dl), low density lipoprotein (LDL, mg/dl).

    Time frame: 6 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change in the DM marker

    Fasting blood samples of 120 diabetic patients will be were taken at baseline and after intervention to measure insulin(μIU/mL), C-peptide(ng/mL), Homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR, ratio)

    Time frame: 6 months
