This is a randomized, double-blind, parallel clinical trial of lipoic acid for inflammatory factors, insulin resistance, glycemic control and anthropometric indices in patients with metabolic syndrome. patients are randomly shared into two groups and received 600 mg supplemental and placebo for 12
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second leading cause of cancer death in Europe. The geographical variation of incidence demonstrates how environmental factors, chiefly dietary habits, play a major role in this disease. Convincing evidence suggests that risk of CRC is increased by red meat and
