The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of barberry juice (BJ) as a natural antioxidant, on cardiovascular risk factors in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). In a randomized clinical trial study, 46 T2DM patients, 30-70 years old recruited from "Diabetes Association of Iran-Babul ". Patients were randomly allocated to either the BJ group (n=23) who consumed 200 ml of BJ daily for eight weeks, or the control group (n=23) with no intervention. At the baseline and the end of 8-week intervention, blood pressure and biochemical markers were conducted.
