Description
Summary:Sukjit S, Thuwakum W. Effect of Serum Crocodile Supplement on Glucose and Lipids Levels in Normal Weight and Overweight Subjects with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: Pilot Study. JEPonline 2023;26(4):19-30. The purpose of this study was to investigate the immediate effects of crocodile serum supplement on the blood glucose level in overweight and normal weight individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Thirty-one patients with an age of 65 [+ or -] 9.2 years were randomly divided into 2 Groups that consumed two crocodile serum supplement capsules per day (400 mg*[d.sup.-1]) for 8 weeks. The hematological variables were collected before (baseline) and after 8 weeks to measure blood urea nitrogen, hemoglobin A1C, fasting blood glucose, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein, and low-density lipoprotein. After 8 weeks, the supplementation with 400 mg serum crocodile resulted in a statistically significant decrease in plasma glucose (P < 0.05) in both Groups. Also, the findings suggest that the crocodile serum supplement may have a greater impact on blood glucose levels in the overweight individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus than their normal weight counterparts. Further research is necessary to validate these findings, and to investigate the long-term effect of crocodile serum supplement consumption on blood glucose levels.
