POSSIBILITIES OF THE METABOLIC SYNDROME CORRECTION BY PHYTOECDYSTEROIDS

To study the efficacy and safety of the use of dietary therapeutic and prophylactic product "Diasten" on the basis of phytoecdysteroids in the complex treatment of patients with metabolic syndrome. 54 patients with metabolic syndrome were examined in dynamics. All patients were divided by a simple randomization method into a control group (n = 30) and a comparison group (n = 24), whose participants received «Diasten» in addition to diet therapy and physical activity. Against the background of «Diastenom» therapy, there were no side effects, as well as changes in general clinical examinations. As a result of treatment weight, body mass index and waist circumference were reduced statistically for sure in both groups. The indices of total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol were reduced for sure in patients treated with «Diasten», compared with the control group. A statistically reliable decrease in the level of glycosylated hemoglobin was noted among the patients receiving a product based on phytoecdysteroids. Against the background of the «Diasten» intake, the general condition and memory significantly improved, the reaction rate of discrimination decreased, and a number of life quality indices improved.The use of «Diasten» in a short course is effective and safe in the complex therapy of the metabolic syndrome.
