Similarly, Arablou et al. performed a double-blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial with 70 type 2 diabetes patients who were allocated to receive placebo or 1600 mg ginger (equaling 2 capsules) for 12 weeks, and the ginger-receiving group displayed not just significantly improved metabolic parameters (reduction of fasting glucose, HbA1C, insulin, HOMA, triglycerides, and total cholesterol) but also reduction in the level of the inflammatory markers CRP and PGE2 [123]. This evidence concerns the gene CRP and type 2 diabetes mellitus.
