Patient written informed consent will be taken prior to study conductance~Lab assessment will be done at baseline and at the end of the study by withdrawing 7 ml of whole blood for assessment of following parameters: HbA1c, Liver & renal functions~Inflammatory markers including: Human Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor (NRF2) & Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) using ELISA Kit~Oxidative stress markers: Glutathione Peroxidase using ELISA Kit~Inflammatory and oxidative stress marker samples will be stored at -80 for further evaluation using ELISA kit at the end of the study
The aim of the current study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of high dose oral NAC (2400 mg/day divided into two doses) as an adjunct therapy on oxidative stress, inflammatory markers and clinical outcome in patients with type 2 diabetes suffering from diabetic peripheral neuropathy.
