What This Study Did, in Plain Language
What Was Tested
The paper reports a study of Vitamin D, K2, Magnesium and Zinc, published as a randomized controlled trial.
This study was designed to evaluate the effects of vitamin D and EPO administration on insulin resistance and lipid concentrations among women with GDM.
Why It Was Studied
Limited data are available assessing the effects of vitamin D and evening primrose oil (EPO) administration on markers of insulin resistance and lipid concentrations in gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).
At the beginning and end of the study, fasting blood samples were obtained from the participants to measure related variables.
Who Took Part
The study group was 60 participants.
The age groups tagged for this paper are teenagers, young adults and adults, women only.
How the Study Was Run
The design is described as randomized, double-blind and placebo-controlled.
The participants were allocated by chance, so the Vitamin D, K2, Magnesium and Zinc group and the comparison group should start out alike.
As a double-blind Vitamin D, K2, Magnesium and Zinc study, the assignments were hidden from both participants and investigators until the end.
Some participants received a placebo instead of Vitamin D, K2, Magnesium and Zinc, giving a reference point.
What Was Measured
Limited data are available assessing the effects of vitamin D and evening primrose oil (EPO) administration on markers of insulin resistance and lipid concentrations in gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).
At the beginning and end of the study, fasting blood samples were obtained from the participants to measure related variables.
The subject headings attached to it are Blood Glucose, Diabetes, Gestational, Lipids, Plant Oils and Vitamin D.
Author keywords: Evening primrose oil, Gestational diabetes and Supplementation.
