Background: Behçet's disease (BD) with autoimmune and auto-inflammatory nature is more prevalent in Silk Road countries. The current study aimed to investigate the effect of zinc gluconate supplementation on C-reactive protein (CRP) and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels in BD patients. Methods: This randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted on 50 Iranian BD patients. Participants were randomly assigned into either placebo or zinc gluconate (30 mg/day) groups for 12 weeks. Before and after the intervention, serum MDA and CRP levels were measured. Results: Zinc supplementation led to a significant increase in serum zinc levels compared to the placebo group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in MDA serum levels between the groups after adjusting for the baseline values and confounding factors (P>0.05). Zinc supplementation led to a significant improvement in CRP serum levels compared to the placebo group following adjustment for the effect of baseline values and confounding factors (P=0.012 and 0.04, respectively). Conclusion: Zinc supplementation in an elemental dose of 30 mg per day has an anti-inflammatory effect in BD patients by reducing CRP levels. The beneficial effect of zinc on lipid peroxidation in BD patients was not shown in the study.
