Abstract

Obesity is a risk factor for diabetes mellitus (DM) and coronary heart disease. In obesity, oxidative stress and adipokine hormone increase, leading to insulin resistance (IR) which can develop into DM. Vitamin E is an antioxidant that is expected to lower IR. This study aims to determine the effects of 8-week supplementation of vitamin E on reducing IR in non-diabetic obese subjects. The design was PROBE (Prospective Randomized Open Blinded End-point). The subjects were ≥18 years old with ≥25 kg/m2 body mass index and HOMA-IR value >2.7 The exclusion criteria were DM patients and those taking metformin or antioxidants. Twenty subjects in group A received 800 IU Vitamin E supplementation while 20 subjects in group B received placebo, both for 8 weeks. Reduced IR was measured from the decreasing HOMA-IR value after 8 weeks. The difference in decreasing HOMA-IR value between both groups was analyzed using independent t-test. The mean in group A was 0.199 ± 0.336, while group B had - 0.078 ± 0.271. The between both groups was statistically significant, with p = 0.004, 95% CI (0.096-0.457. Supplementation of 800 UI Vitamin E for 8 weeks could decrease IR in obese non-diabetic subjects.
