The combined effect of yoga and rich in omega-3 camelina sativa powder on glycemic indices, inflammation, and oxidative stress in women with type 2 diabetes mellitus: a randomized controlled trial

Background This trial evaluated the combined effect of yoga and camelina sativa powder (CSP) on glycemic indices, inflammatory and oxidative stress parameters in women with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).Methods In this trial, 80 patients with T2DM were randomly allocated into four groups: group 1 (placebo), group 2 (receiving CSP), group 3 (doing yoga), and group 4 (receiving CSP and doing yoga) for 8 weeks. Glycemic indices, inflammatory and oxidative stress parameters were assessed pre-and post-intervention.Results CSP plus yoga treatment significantly increased the McAuley-index and Quick-index compared to the placebo group (P = 0.021 and P Conclusion We found a favorable effect of co-treatment of CSP and yoga for 8 weeks in women with T2DM on some glycemic indices, oxidative stress, and inflammatory parameters.
