GPT and type 2 diabetes mellitus: A recent intervention study showed that 1500 mg/day curcumin supplementation (500 mg capsules: 347 mg of curcumin, 84 mg of demethoxycurcumin, and 9 mg of bisdemethoxycurcumin) for 10 weeks reduced triglycerides (TG) and C-reactive protein (CRP), and increased adiponectin levels [42], whereas 500 mg/day curcumin co-administered with piperine 5 mg/day for three months was able to reduce blood glucose, C-peptide, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST), in patients with T2D [43].
