Protocol summary

Summary
Coenzyme Q10 is a lipophilic antioxidant. Studies have shown that its serum levels decrease in patients with diabetes. The objective of this study is to assess effects of coenzyme Q10 as an adjunctive treatment to hypoglycemic agents on oxidative stress, lipid peroxidation, glycemic control and inflammatory markers in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Fifty patients with type 2 diabetes will be randomly allocated to receive daily either 150 mg coenzyme Q10 or a placebo for 12 weeks. Patients will be referred from Institute of Endocrinology and Metabolism, Iran University of Medical Sciences. Ten-milliliter fasting blood samples will be taken at the beginning and at the end of study. Serum paraoxonase activity, total antioxidant capacity, malondialdehyde, hs-CRP, TG, TC, LDL, HDL, FBS, insulin and HbA1C will be determined in the blood samples. Weight, height and blood pressure will be measured at the beginning and at the end of the study. Food intake and physical activity will be assessed at baseline and after weeks 4, 8 and 12. For analysis of data paired sample t-test and independent t-test will be used. .
