Supports exercise-insulin synergy in diabetic cardiomyopathy models; hypothesis-generating and requires human trials before any practice change.
Does the combination of swimming training and insulin therapy improve intracellular calcium homeostasis, oxidative stress, and mitochondrial functions in diabetic rat hearts?
The combination of aerobic exercise and insulin therapy synergistically improves calcium homeostasis, oxidative stress, and mitochondrial function in a rat model of type 1 diabetic cardiomyopathy.
Silva et al. (2015) studied Type 1 diabetes mellitus. Swimming training and insulin therapy vs. Sedentary diabetic rats was evaluated on Intracellular calcium homeostasis, oxidative stress, and mitochondrial functions. The combination of swimming training and insulin replacement effectively attenuated intracellular Ca2+ disruptions, oxidative stress, and mitochondrial dysfunctions in diabetic rat hearts.
