Effects of sesame butter [Ardeh] versus sesame oil on metabolic and oxidative stress markers in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats

ABSTRACT

Background: Diabetes is one of the most common metabolic disorders and is related to oxidative-stress-induced diseases. Given the role of dietary antioxidants in the control and prevention of diabetes, this study aimed to examine the effects of sesame butter versus sesame oil on the serum levels of glucose, lipid profile, and oxidative stress biomarkers in diabetic rats
