Summary
Gum Arabic ingestion has been proved to decrease some of the inflammatory markers in some
metabolic diseases that have an inflammatory background. Nevertheless, the mechanism/s by
which it does so is uncertain. This study is targeting one of the postulated molecular
mechanisms at genetic level that may help to understand how Gum Arabic exerts its effect .The
effects of GA on Nuclear Factor Kappa Beta, P38 Mitogen Activated Protein (MAP) Kinase
levels, and on the expression of inflammatory cytokines genes are going to be assessed in
postmenopausal females with Metabolic Syndrome.
