Curcumin in the form of dietary turmeric was associated with statistically significant results compared to cinnamon as follows: WM increased from 2.6 to 2.9 out of 3.0 (p=0.05); WM was inversely related to insulin resistance (R of 34.5% and p<0.01), not with serum biomarkers. WM responses to turmeric had significant beta-coefficients for turmeric, BMI, and insulin/glucose area under the curve. Here, INS is linked to Insulin resistance.
