OXIDATIVE STRESS

This pilot study will test whether supplements made from bilberries and olives can reduce inflammation and oxidative stress in people with prediabetes who are overweight. Researchers will collect blood, urine, and stool samples from 60 participants to measure changes in key healt…

This trial investigates whether a diet rich in polyphenols—including daily cocoa and extra fruits and vegetables—can reduce oxidative stress and improve blood vessel function in pregnant women. Researchers will randomly assign 60 pregnant women to receive dietary counseling and c…

This study tests whether adding hyaluronic acid gel to standard deep-cleaning treatment improves gum healing in smokers with advanced periodontitis. Twenty-three smokers will receive the standard cleaning, then some gum pockets will also get the gel. Researchers will measure gum …

This study will test whether taking ginger supplements for two months can lower inflammation and oxidative stress in people with coronary artery disease. Fifty adults with confirmed heart disease will be randomly assigned to receive either ginger extract or a placebo. Researchers…

This study looks at whether taking royal jelly and propolis (natural bee products) for two months can lower inflammation and improve heart health in 50 adults with coronary artery disease. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive the supplements or a placebo, and researc…

This study looks at whether a 12-week Mediterranean diet can lower oxidative stress and improve blood sugar control in girls aged 10-18 with type 1 diabetes who have high HbA1c levels. Researchers will measure changes in blood markers and glucose levels. The goal is to see if thi…

This early-stage trial tests whether relaxin, a natural hormone given as a daily injection, can reduce the burden of atrial fibrillation (AF) in 208 veterans who have not responded to standard medications and are scheduled for catheter ablation. The study aims to see if relaxin c…

This study looks at whether taking cordyceps, a medicinal mushroom, before or after exercise helps athletes recover faster. Thirty healthy students aged 19-21 will take cordyceps or a placebo for four weeks. Researchers will measure inflammation, muscle damage, and aerobic fitnes…

This study looks at how changing the temperature and liquid in e-cigarettes affects the amount of harmful chemicals (oxidants) users breathe in. Researchers will measure markers of cell damage in breath, cheek cells, and blood from 50 adult e-cigarette users. The goal is to under…

This study looks at how opioid use affects oxidative stress in adults. Researchers will collect blood samples and health information from 120 people taking opioids like morphine or fentanyl. No new treatments are given. The goal is to better understand the biological effects of o…

This study tests whether adding a small amount of hydrogen to the breathing gas can reduce lung damage caused by breathing high levels of oxygen under pressure. Thirty-two healthy military divers will breathe either hydrogen-enriched or normal oxygen gas during two separate sessi…

This study aims to discover new reasons why blood clots form in people with heart disease, diabetes, and other illnesses. Researchers will analyze blood samples from 200 patients with narrowed neck arteries to look for markers of cell damage and clotting factors. The goal is to f…
