Effect of Rosmarinus Officinalis Extract on Oxidative Stress and Inflammatory Biomarkers in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes (T2DM)

This randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial evaluates the effects of a methanolic extract of Rosmarinus officinalis (rosemary) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either methanolic rosemary extract or placebo in addition to their usual treatment and are followed for six months. A data cut-off at Month 3 is used for the analysis of metabolic, oxidative stress, and cytogenetic outcomes, while selected inflammatory and cardiovascular biomarkers continue to be assessed through Month 6. The study investigates the potential complementary effects of methanolic rosemary extract on metabolic control, oxidative stress, inflammation, genomic stability, and cardiovascular-related biomarkers in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
