| dc.description.abstract | Ninety non-insulin dependent menopausal diabetic female subjects free from serious complications were selected from Punjab Agricultural University (PAU) hospital and Civil Hospital, Ludhiana. The selected subjects were then equally divided into three groups viz. Group E1, E2 and C having thirty subjects each. Subjects of group E1 and E2 were provided 15g and 20 g of flaxseed powder for a period of 2 months respectively, while group C was not given any supplementation. Dietary habits, dietary intake, anthropometric measurements, blood pressure, blood glucose, blood lipid profile and menopausal symptoms of all the subjects were recorded before and after the supplementation period. The effects of flaxseed powder were studied on the above mentioned parameters. After the supplementation period, significant (p≤0.01) decrease in the energy intake and a highly significant (p≤0.01) decrease in protein and fat intake was reported in group E1 and E2 respectively. A significant (p≤0.01) reduction in weight and BMI was observed in group E1 and E2, whereas a non-significant increase was observed in group C. A significant (p≤0.01) decrease in systolic and diastolic BP, TC, LDL-C, VLDL-C, TC: HDL-C, LDL: HDL-C was reported in group E1 and E2 and a highly significant (p≤0.01) increase was observed in HDL-C in both the experimental groups. Supplementation of 15 g and 20 g flaxseed powder reduced fasting blood glucose level by 6.4 and 13.0 percent and post prandial blood glucose by 7.9 and 19.1 percent in the subjects of group E1 and E2 respectively. It is concluded that improvement in anthropometry, blood pressure , blood lipid profile, blood glucose and menopausal symptoms were observed in group E2, followed by E1 group. It could be due to the presence of α-linolenic acid, lignan, dietary fiber, folate and vitamin B6, magnesium, phosphorus, and copper and phytonutrient. Hence it can be inferred from the results that better improvement in the nutritional status of diabetic subjects was seen among the subjects of E2 group as compared to E1 group.
