Dietary Antioxidants and Thiol Disulfide Homeostasis in T2DM

This observational study was planned to determine the relationship between dietary antioxidant intake and thiol disulfide homeostasis of individuals with type 2 diabetes. One of the current approaches in medical nutrition therapy of diabetes is to increase the consumption of foods with high antioxidant content in order to strengthen antioxidant defense. Increased dietary antioxidant intake may have both protective and therapeutic effects by reducing the risk of diabetes and preventing complications that may occur. It is known that dynamic thiol disulfide balance can be a good indicator of antioxidant defense in individuals with diabetes, and there are limited studies on this subject.
