Combined Intervention With Pioglitazone and n-3 Fatty Acids in Metformin-Treated Type 2 Diabetic Patients: Improvement of Lipid Metabolism Thus, typical T2D patients may be advised to increase their EPA + DHA intake, either in the form of dietary supplements or sea food and fish, in order to increase the efficacy of pharmacotherapies and to prevent diseases linked to inflammation as well as cardiovascular disease, providing that glycemic control is closely monitored. EPA + DHA are likely to bring benefits on cardiovascular health of diabetic patients. GSH measured with Chromsystems assay. 2015
Differential Gene Expression in Liver Tissues of Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetic Rats in Response to Resveratrol Treatment The present data suggest the presence of several processes which contribute and possibly interact to impair liver functions in type 1 diabetes, several of which are potentially amenable to therapeutic interventions with resveratrol. GSH was measured with Chromsystems assay. 2015

MDA and GSH measured with Chromsystems assay. 2015
Differential Acute Postprandial Effects of Processed Meat and Isocaloric Vegan Meals on the Gastrointestinal Hormone Response in Subjects Suffering From Type 2 Diabetes and Healthy Controls: A Randomized Crossover Study Our results suggest that the diet composition and the energy content, rather than the carbohydrate count, should be important considerations for dietary management and demonstrate that processed meat consumption is accompanied by impaired GIH responses and increased oxidative stress marker levels in diabetic patients. GSH measured with Chromsystems assay. 2014
Improvement of Oxidative and Metabolic Parameters by Cellfood Administration in Patients Affected by Neurodegenerative Diseases on Chelation Treatment Although limited to a small number of cases, this study showed how helpful antioxidant treatment with Cellfood was in improving the subjects' metabolic conditions.

Antioxidant defense and oxidative stress in children with acute hepatitis A Their research points out that hepatatis A infection causes oxidative stress in children. Antioxidant vitamin supplements could be added to the therapy for these patients to help reestablish the oxidant status balance. However, further investigations to confirm this suggestion are recommended. Ascorbic acid, α-tocopherol, retinol, β-carotene, and GSH, Malondialdehyde measured with Chromsystems assay . 2011

Vegetarian diet improves insulin resistance and oxidative stress markers more than conventional diet in subjects with Type 2 diabetes A calorie-restricted vegetarian diet had greater capacity to improve insulin sensitivity compared with a conventional diabetic diet over 24 weeks. The greater loss of visceral fat and improvements in plasma concentrations of adipokines and oxidative stress markers with this diet may be responsible for the reduction of insulin resistance. The addition of exercise training further augmented the improved outcomes with the vegetarian diet. Shorteing. GSH was measured by Chromsystems assay.  2011
