The present study then was performed to survey the effect of L-Arginin supplementation on the metabolism of sugar and lipid profiles in patients with diabetes type 2. Materials & Methods: In a randomized double-blind clinical trial, 75 patients with diabetes type 2 were divided into three groupsrandomly: 1. 3 gr L-Arginin per day, 2. 6 gr L-Arginin per day and 3. The placebo group. Height, weight, waist, High Density Lipoprotein (HDL), Triglycerides (TG), Low Density ipoprotein (LDL), and the total cholesterol were measured before and after three months of intervention. Results: no significant change was made in any of the lipid parameters in the intervention group. However, the two means of cholesterol and LDL decreased from169.12±34.83 mg/dl to 142.08±32.13mg/dl(P-Value %> http://jabs.fums.ac.ir/article-1-491-en.pdf %P 99-110 %& 99 %! %9 Research %L A-10-557-1 %+ Fasa University of Medical Sciences %G eng %@ 2228-5105 %[ 2014
