Evaluation of the Role of Pyridoxine Adjuvant Therapy on the Blood Glucose Level in Type 2 Diabetic Patients
Abstract
Pyridoxal-5-phosphate (P.L.P.), the biologically active form of vitamin B6, is a coenzyme in 150 enzymatic reactions, including amino acid, carbohydrate, and lipid metabolism. Neurotransmitter production and breakdown depend on it. Additionally, it functions as an antioxidant by suppressing reactive oxygen species and mitigating the development of advanced glycation end products. Humans recycle P.L.P. from dietary B6 vitamins, and this molecule has been related to various clinically relevant diseases. Pyridoxine as an additional therapy for type 2 diabetes will be examined in this study.
Conditions: Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2.
Primary outcome: Fasting plasma glucose (FPG).; Glycated Hemoglobin (HbAlc).
Enrollment: 108 participants.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a clinical trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 3 of 5 (Moderate · trial / cohort / secondary analysis). Trials without a large randomized design, cohorts and secondary analyses give moderate evidence. Reported size: 108 participants or records.
