Objective: To investigate the effects of the cooperative actions of isoflavone, vitamin C and E on the expression of acute C reactive protein (CRP) and interleukin 6 (IL-6) in the patients with typeⅡdiabetic mellitus (DM). Method: Ninety six patients with DM were divided randomly into 4 groups, DM control group(B), and groups receiving low(C), medium (D) , and high (E) dose of the compound antioxidant of isoflavone, vitamin C and E respectively. Another 24 healthy subjects served as normal control group (A). Observe the changes of the levels of CRP and IL-6 during oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). Results: The peak of serum levels of CRP and IL-6 in the patients of DM control group and lower dosage group appeared 1 h after OGTT and were significantly higher than the 0 h value (P

Objective: To observe the co-effect of antioxidant compound, soybean isoflavone (SI), VC and VE on glucose and insulin response after oral glucose load in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) . Methods: 96 selected T2DM patients (50% male, 50% female) were randomly divided into 4 groups according to the dosage of the compound given , none (group B), low dosage (group C), medium dosage (group D) and high dosage (group E) . The normal control (group A) included 24 persons half male, half female . Blood glucose and insulin were determined at OGTT 0 h, 1 h, 2 h, 4 h, 6 h, and the areas under the curve (AUC) of blood insulin/glucose were calculated. Results: The AUC of blood insulin/glucose of male was higher than female in control group, but both were lower than those of four diabetes groups. In both genders of the diabetes groups, blood insulin AUC of group C, D, E was lower than group B, blood glucose AUC of group D, E was lower than group C and B. There was significant difference in blood insulin and glucose AUC of group E as compared to group B in female (P
