| Abstract | ||
| In the presesnt study, the effect of Zn & Mg oral supplementation on total antioxidant capacity (TAC) in diabetic patients was determined using two control groups (group A represent healthy control and group B represent diabetic control), and two treatment groups of diabetic patients. C-group was supplemented 50mg/day of Zn as sulfate, while D-group treated with 300mg/day of Mg as citrate within 2 months period. The results show that there was a significant decreases (P < 0.01) in serum TAC level in type 2 DM subjects (Group B) & (C and D) compared with that of healthy control (Group A). Also, there was a significant increases (P < 0.01) in TAC level in group C and D, compared with group B. While, no significant changes has been shown in serum TAC level between group C and D of diabetic subjects. | ||
