Development of Anti-Diabetic Nutraceuticals From Legume Seed Coats
Sponsor: JSS MEDICAL COLLEGE, JSS ACADEMY OF HIGHER EDUCATION AND RESEARCH
Summary
This open-label clinical trial aims to evaluate whether daily consumption of soup prepared from boiled water extracts of selected legume seed coats, seasoned with salt and spices, improves glycemic regulation in individuals with metabolic syndrome or type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The primary question is whether daily intake of this palatable legume-based soup enhances glycemic control. Secondary questions include whether it reduces dyslipidemia, oxidative stress, and inflammation in participants with metabolic syndrome or T2DM. Participants will consume the soup once daily for 30 consecutive days. Clinical assessments, including HbA1c, fasting blood glucose, lipid profile, and biomarkers of oxidative stress and inflammation will be conducted at baseline and after the 30-day intervention.
