Context: To the best of our knowledge, no study has examined the effects of vitamin D-calcium cosupplementation on inflammatory biomarkers and adipocytokines in vitamin D-insufficient type 2 diabetics. Objective: This study was performed to assess the effects of vitamin D and calcium supplementation on inflammatory biomarkers and adipocytokines in vitamin D-insufficient people with type 2 diabetes. Methods: Totally, 118 diabetic patients were enrolled in this randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial. After matching for age, sex, body mass index, type and dose of hypoglycemic agents, and duration of diabetes, subjects were randomly assigned into 4 groups receiving the following: 1) 50000 IU/wk vitamin D + calcium placebo; 2) 1000 mg/d calcium + vitamin D placebo; 3) 50 000 IU/wk vitamin D + 1000 mg/d calcium; or 4) vitamin D placebo + calcium placebo for 8 weeks. Blood sampling was done for the quantification of inflammatory biomarkers and adipocytokines at the study baseline and after 8 weeks of intervention. Results: Calcium (changes from baseline: −75±19 ng/ml, P = .01) and vitamin D alone (−56 ± 19 ng/mL, P = .01) and joint calcium-vitamin D supplementation (−92 ± 19 ng/mL, P = .01) resulted in a significant reduction in serum leptin levels compared with placebo (−9 ± 18 ng/mL). This was also the case for serum IL-6, such that calcium (−2 ± 1 pg/mL, P < .001) and vitamin D alone (−4 ± 1 pg/mL, P < .001) and their combination (−4 ± 1 pg/mL, P < .001) led to significant reductions compared with placebo (3 ± 1 pg/mL). After adjustment for potential confounders, individuals in the calcium (−3.1 ± 1.3, P < .05), vitamin D (−3.1 ± 1.3, P < .05), and joint calcium-vitamin D groups (−3.4 ± 1.3, P < .05) had greater reductions in serum TNF-α concentrations compared with placebo (0.1 ± 1.2). Individuals who received joint calcium-vitamin D supplements tended to have a decrease in serum high-sensitivity C-reactive protein levels compared with placebo after controlling for baseline levels (−1.14 ± 0.25 vs 0.02 ± 0.24 ng/mL, P = .09). Conclusion: Joint calcium-vitamin D supplementation might improve systemic inflammation through decreasing IL-6 and TNF-α concentrations in vitamin D-insufficient people with type 2 diabetes.

Abstract Background and objectives NF-kB, SIRT1 and systemic inflammation factors including hs-CRP, IL-6 and TNF-α accelerate atherosclerosis pathogenesis. Our purpose was to evaluate the effect of daily supplementation of three-gram cinnamon on plasma levels of NF-kB, SIRT, hs-CRP, IL-6 and TNF-α among type 2 diabetes patients. Subjects and methods A randomized, double blind, and controlled clinical trial was performed with 44 adult patients who were 25 to 70 years old with type 2 diabetes, randomized to two intervention (n = 22) and control (n = 22) groups differing by daily three grams cinnamon supplementation and placebo for 8 weeks, respectively. The plasma levels of NF-kB, SIRT, hs-CRP, IL-6 and TNF-α were measured by ELISA assay at the beginning and end of the study. Results After 8-week intervention, 39 subjects (n = 20 in the cinnamon and n = 19 in the placebo groups) ended up the trial. It was not observed significant difference in levels of hs-CRP (P = 0.29), TNF-α (P = 0.27), IL-6 (P = 0.52), and Sirtuin-1 (P = 0.51) in between group comparison. While, the result showed significant difference in levels of NF-kB (P = 0.02) between groups. As well as, in among group comparison, there was not observed significant differences except in hs-CRP (P = 0.008) in placebo group. Conclusions This study elucidated that cinnamon supplementation has no beneficial effects in reduction of NF-kB, SIRT1, hs-CRP, IL-6 and TNF-α levels in type 2 diabetes patients which have a considerable role in development of atherogenesis.

Abstract BackgroundSince type 2 diabetes is the most common metabolic disease, it is necessary to know the factors affecting on the complications of this disease. The aim of this study was to investigate the Effect of 8 weeks of vitamin D supplementation and water exercise on cardiometabolic profile in women with type 2 diabetes.Methods40 women with type 2 diabetes participated in this study voluntarily and randomly divided to four groups: 1) vitamin D+ water exercise, 2) vitamin D, 3) water exercise, and 4) control groups. Water exercise groups (groups 1 and 3) performed 3 sessions of water training per week during 8 weeks (15 minutes of warm-up, 45 to 60 minutes of main activity with a Borg scale of 14 and 10 minutes of cooling). Vitamin D groups (groups 1 and 2) received 50,000 (IU) vitamin D supplements once a week. Levels of fasting blood sugar (FBS), insulin, hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), C- reactive protein (CRP) levels, as well as lipid protein profile (triglyceride, total cholesterol, high and low density lipoproteins (LDL and HDL)) were measured before and after intervention. Insulin resistance was also obtained by calculating HOMA-IR.ResultsWeight, waist circumference, and body fat mass were significantly decrease after intervention in Vitamin D+ water exercise group (P= 0.001, 0.001, 0.032, and 0.013 respectively), as well as CRP, glycemic and lipid profile were significantly improved after intervention in water exercise group.ConclusionThe results of the present study showed that water exercise plus vitamin D supplementation had synergism beneficial effects on anthropometric indices and cardiometabolic status of type 2 diabetic patients and can be used as a non-pharmacological and non-invasive method to reduce complications of type 2 diabetes.

Abstract Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is the leading cause of end-stage renal disease worldwide. Albuminuria is the most sensitive marker for the early recognition of DN. Therefore, we aimed to study the risk factors of albuminuria as a marker of DN among diabetic patients. The study included 41 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), 50 type 2 diabetic nephropathy (T2DN) patients with macroalbuminuria, 43 T2DN patients with microalbuminuria and 38 healthy controls. Logistic regression was used to detect the most significant risk factors for albuminuria. A high statistically significant difference was found between the groups regarding age, sex, body mass index (BMI), diabetes mellitus (DM) duration, glucose, glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c), creatinine, glomerular filtration rate (GFR), lipid profile, tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), C-reactive protein (CRP), the albumin–creatinine ratio (ACR), vitamin D, total parathyroid hormone (PTH), urea, total calcium and chemerin (p < 0.001). It was found that the duration of DM, BMI, glucose, GFR, total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), TNF-α, IL-6, CRP, ACR, vitamin D, PTH and chemerin are significant albuminuria risk factors in DN. Vitamin D deficiency and associated inflammatory mediators such as chemerin, TNF-α, IL-6 and CRP are the most essential risk factors for albuminuria in T2DM patients.
