Abstract
Background Diabetes, inflammation, and abnormal lipid levels are the main risk factors for mortality in end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The present study aimed to investigate the effects of ginger supplementation on inflammatory markers and lipid profile in diabetic patients with ESRD undergoing hemodialysis. Methods In this study, 44 patients were randomly assigned to either the ginger or the placebo group. The patients in the ginger group received 2000 mg/d ginger for eight weeks, while the control group received the placebo with the same protocol. The serum concentrations of triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-c), high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-c), albumin, and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) were measured after a 12- to 14-hours fast at the baseline and the end of the study, as along with the platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and Glasgow prognostic score (GPS). Results Forty-one subjects were analyzed based on the intention-to-treat method of all included patients. Serum levels of TG (p=0.003), hs-CRP (p=0.022), and NLR (p=0.001) decreased significantly in the ginger group compared to the placebo group, while albumin concentration in serum was elevated (p=0.022). However, there were no significant differences in GPS, levels of TC, LDL-C, HDL-C, and PLR within and between the groups (p > 0.05). Conclusion Ginger administration reduced NLR, hs-CRP, and TG serum levels and increased serum albumin levels in included patients. Thus, ginger can be considered an effective complementary treatment for these patients. This trail is registered with IRCT20191109045382N3.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes management in hemodialysis patients with end-stage renal disease needs precision to avoid complications. The study aimed to investigate the effect of ginger supplementation on prooxidant-antioxidant balance, glycemic management, and renal function in diabetic hemodialysis patients. TRIAL DESIGN AND METHODS Forty-four patients were randomly allocated to either the ginger or the placebo group in this randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled study. Patients in the ginger group received 2000 mg/d ginger for eight weeks, whereas those in the placebo group received equivalent placebos. After a 12- to 14-h fast, serum levels of fasting blood glucose (FBG), insulin, urea, creatinine, and prooxidant-antioxidant balance (PAB) were measured at baseline and at the end of the study. The homeostatic model evaluation of insulin resistance was used to determine insulin resistance (HOMA-IR). RESULTS Serum levels of FBG (p = 0.001), HOMA-IR (p = 0.001), and urea (p = 0.017) were considerably lower in the ginger group compared to baseline, and the difference was significant when compared to the placebo group (p < 0.05). Moreover, ginger supplementation decreased serum levels of creatinine (p = 0.034) and PAB (p = 0.013) within the group, but the effect was insignificant between groups (p > 0.05). On the other hand, insulin levels did not vary significantly across and among the groups (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION In summary, this study indicated that in diabetic hemodialysis patients, ginger could result to lower blood glucose levels, enhanced insulin sensitivity, and lower serum urea levels. Further studies with a more extended intervention period and various doses and forms of ginger are needed. TRIAL REGISTRATION IRCT20191109045382N2.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Diabetic kidney disease affects approximately 40% of diabetic patients and is the leading cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD) worldwide. As a result, preventing renal complications in diabetic patients is critical. Ginger (Zingiber Officinale Rosco) is a popular spice and natral medicine. The present study was a systematic review focused on the existing evidence of the renoprotective effect of ginger extract on some features of diabetic kidney disease. METHODS The literature was searched in online databases such as PubMed, Scopus, EMBASE, ProQuest databases, and Google Scholar from inception to July 2022. RESULTS This review included 41 articles that met the eligibility criteria. Ginger supplementation was found to be associated with a significant decrease in blood glucose in 28 studies. Nine studies showed a significant reduction in malondialdehyde (MDA) after supplementation. Also, seventeen studies showed decreased serum levels of creatinine. Fifteen studies reported a decrease in total cholesterol (TC) and fourteen studies showed a lowered triglycerides (TG) concentrations. In twenty-six studies, ginger reduced renal injuries due to diabetes. CONCLUSION Ginger may improve blood sugar indices, lipid profile, some inflammatory markers, oxidative stress, and pathologic injuries in diabetic kidney disease. However, future well-designed clinical trials and meta-analyses are required for a solid consensus.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES Clinical efficacy of zinc (Zn) supplementation in the improvement of oxidative stress biomarkers has been investigated in some clinical trial studies. The purpose of the current dose-response meta-analysis is to systematically aggregate and evaluate all related studies to highlight the possible effect of Zn supplementation on oxidative stress. METHODS Systematic search was performed on Scopus, PubMed/Medline, Web of Science and Embase up to 31 December 2020. The random effect method was used to perform pooled analysis. Possible sources of heterogeneity were found using subgroup analysis and meta-regression. In the presence of publication bias, trim and fill analysis was performed to adjust the results. Non-linear relationship between effect size and variables was investigated by performing dose-response analysis. The quality of included studies was assessed using Cochrane Collaboration's tool. RESULTS Pooled-analysis of 18 studies showed that Zn supplementation improved MDA and Hcys levels (SMD = -1.53 μmol/L; 95% CI: -2.22, -0.85; P < .001 and SMD = -0.62 μmol/L; 95% CI: -1.08, -0.15; P < .001, respectively). There was no significant effect of Zn supplementation on TBARS (SMD = -0.59 μmol/l; 95% CI: -1.31, 0.13; P = .108). Zn had maximum reducing effect on MDA in <40 mg/day dosage. CONCLUSION Zn supplementation reduces MDA and Hcys levels, but not TBARS level. Supplementation with Zn <40 mg/day has an optimum effect on MDA level. Zn supplementation could be considered clinically as a beneficial approach in amending oxidative stress.

Abstract
Oxidative stress is a contributing factor to many chronic diseases. It has been investigated that zinc (Zn) may enhance the antioxidant defense. The current dose-response and time-response meta-analysis aims to determine the efficacy of Zn supplementation in improving antioxidant defense. Scopus, PubMed/Medline, Web of Science, and Embase databases were searched systematically up to December 30, 2020. Meta-analysis was performed on human controlled clinical trials using random effects method. To find any source of heterogeneity, subgroup analysis and meta-regression were performed. Trim and fill analysis was used for adjusting the publication bias. To find any non-linear relationship between variables and effect size, dose-response and time-response analyses were performed. Cochrane Collaboration's tool was used for evaluating the quality assessment. A total of 23 controlled clinical trials were analyzed. The range of Zn supplementation duration in various studies was within 4-24 weeks. Zn supplementation did not have beneficial effects on glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activity (SMD = -0.34 U/g; 95% CI: -0.93, 0.25; P = 0.258). There were significant increasing effects of Zn supplementation on glutathione (GSH) (SMD = 1.28 μmol/l; 95% CI: 0.42, 2.14; P = 0.003) and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) levels (SMD = 1.39 mmol/l; 95% CI: 0.44, 2.35; P = 0.004). Zn had ameliorative effects on superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity after elimination of publication bias (SMD: 0.84 U/g; 95% CI: 0.12, 1.56, P < 0.05). Zn could also elevate GSH and TAC levels, plus SOD activity after modifying the publication bias. Finally, Zn had no significant effect on GPx activity.
