Low oxygen levels can for Diabetes Therapy


Jakarta, in the higher elevations or mountains often hypoxic conditions or lack of oxygen because the body has the effect of the difference in height. Sport with mild hypoxic conditions was found to improve blood glucose control (insulin sensitivity) in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Just so you know, people with diabetes have insulin resistance and thus require additional insulin to process glucose to keep blood sugar to remain stable.

Exercise can improve glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes. There are several studies that assess the effects of continuous exercise on glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity in type 2 diabetes.

But according to Richard Mackenzie, PhD, of the University of Westminster in London, England when patients with type 2 diabetes spend 30 minutes of exercise every day, but the published data have failed to show that recurrent training is effective.

Conversely, if the sport or physical exercise was repeated for example in combination with mild hypoxic exercise at an altitude of 2,500 meters, the results actually show an increase in glucose levels of type 2 diabetes.

"The combination of reduced oxygen levels with exercise performed can significantly increase the body's ability to respond to insulin in patients with type 2 diabetes. Our results demonstrate the possibility to do sports with mild hypoxia can be used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes," Dr Mackenzie said as quoted by MedicalNewsToday , Wednesday (03/07/2012).

The new study results will be published in The Endocrine Society's Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism (JCEM).

"Breast cancer alone there are three kinds, the first and most (around 60-70 percent) are caused by hormonal reactions, the latter is the result of the expression of a protein called HER2 cells splitting excess and the third did not get into them. However, the most severe is the result of overexpression of HER2 breast cancer because of more malignant, can develop faster, more prone to metastasis and more resistant to standard drugs, "said ...
