Metabolic syndrome is a chronic inflammatory disorder associated with insulin resistance and hepatic steatosis. Extracts of the succulent Hoodia parviflora (HP) exert an immunomodulatory effect alleviating target organ damage in rodents. Aim: To determine the safety and efficacy of oral administration of HP extracts to patients with insulin resistance and NAFLD. INTRODUCTION METHODS Open-label trial. HP was daily orally administered to 10 patients for 30 days. Subjects were monitored for safety, and serum levels of TNF-a, IL-6, adiponectin, GLP-1 and for the specific phenotypic markers of regulatory T cells in their PBMCs. The clinical effect was evaluated using by following oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), liver enzyme and serum lipid profile. All parameters were followed on day o and 30. analysis was carried out on responders. Insulin secretion at 30 min (p<0.003) Administration of Imm122-E improved hepatocellular liver enzymes levels p<0.04. CONCLUSION Oral administration of HP is safe and exerts an immunomodulatory effect in patients with type 2 diabetes, hyperlipidemia and NASH. The anti-inflammatory effect and the induction of Tregs are associated with alleviation of insulin resistance, hyperlipidemia, and liver damage in these patients.
