Vibration therapy helps with diabetes

04.11.2012

Found a means of combating the initial stage of diabetes in adolescents. A daily course of vibrations will help to cope with high blood glucose levels, as well as dry mouth. So the researchers from the Medical College of Georgia reported in their report.

The experiment was carried out on mice whose condition mimicked the average condition of an American teenager - constantly overeating and moving directly on the path to diabetes. Overeating mice were subjected to daily 8-minute vibration for 20 weeks. Thus, it was possible to restore a healthy balance of key pro- and anti-inflammatory mediators in their body. The result was better than even in the treatment of conventional drugs in such cases. The body of ordinary mice in just the first four days of the course became much better at coping with the sharp increases in glucose levels that occur from fatty, high-calorie foods. Curiously, vibration is good for young mice, but not so good for adult and old mice.

"That's a very good sign," says Dr. Jack Yu, chief of plastic and reconstructive surgery at the Medical College of Georgia. "If you eat a pound of sugar, your blood glucose will go up. If you get diabetes, it will go up even more. Being able to manage these jumps promises to benefit the health of patients.Our standard model is the average American teenager who eats too much.The only way to burn fat is to make him exercise.But now we can just shake his bones, and the muscles do not have to work.This is a very effective way deceive the body, make it think that it is doing physical activity.

This model is especially effective given the sad reality that most people do not want to play sports. At the same time, Dr. Yu says that it is still unclear exactly how vibration leads to the desired results. This appears to be due to the effects of shaking on bone health. The vibration simulates the movement of the bones during a workout, when the muscles do the work of the pusher. As a result, the body produces osteocalcin. This protein helps build strong bones, but it also signals the pancreas to prepare for food. For humanity as a whole, this scheme was effective many centuries ago, when prehistoric hunters chased their prey, overtook it and could feast to their heart's content. But nowadays people move too little and eat a lot, so the scheme rarely works.

In addition, our body tries to retain more fat in order to get more energy. This is the main cause of chronic inflammation associated with obesity and type 2 diabetes. Fat provokes inflammatory factors, and the immune system can mistake fat itself for inflammation and react to it. And, unfortunately, this will not help to eliminate it. And vibrations also affect this mechanism, significantly eliminating imbalances in the body. The vibrations also greatly reduce the symptom of excessive thirst.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

New method for creating powerful batteries 08.05.2024

With the development of technology and the expanding use of electronics, the issue of creating efficient and safe energy sources is becoming increasingly urgent. Researchers at the University of Queensland have unveiled a new approach to creating high-power zinc-based batteries that could change the landscape of the energy industry. One of the main problems with traditional water-based rechargeable batteries was their low voltage, which limited their use in modern devices. But thanks to a new method developed by scientists, this drawback has been successfully overcome. As part of their research, scientists turned to a special organic compound - catechol. It turned out to be an important component that can improve battery stability and increase its efficiency. This approach has led to a significant increase in the voltage of zinc-ion batteries, making them more competitive. According to scientists, such batteries have several advantages. They have b ... >>

Alcohol content of warm beer 07.05.2024

Beer, as one of the most common alcoholic drinks, has its own unique taste, which can change depending on the temperature of consumption. A new study by an international team of scientists has found that beer temperature has a significant impact on the perception of alcoholic taste. The study, led by materials scientist Lei Jiang, found that at different temperatures, ethanol and water molecules form different types of clusters, which affects the perception of alcoholic taste. At low temperatures, more pyramid-like clusters form, which reduces the pungency of the "ethanol" taste and makes the drink taste less alcoholic. On the contrary, as the temperature increases, the clusters become more chain-like, resulting in a more pronounced alcoholic taste. This explains why the taste of some alcoholic drinks, such as baijiu, can change depending on temperature. The data obtained opens up new prospects for beverage manufacturers, ... >>

Eco-friendly replacement for plastic bottles 14.04.2019

London-based startup Skipping Rocks Lab has proposed replacing plastic water bottles with edible balls.

According to statistics, about a third of all plastic waste is disposable bottles up to 0,5 liters. And while environmentalists around the world are clutching their heads, three students figured out how to deal with it.

Inventors propose to replace plastic with edible water balls. It is very simple to make them: a sphere of ice is first immersed in calcium chloride, and then in brown algae extract. Under the influence of natural temperature, the ice begins to melt. As a result, we get a ball with melt water in a completely natural "membrane".

Of course, after the liquid from such a ball is drunk, it is not necessary to eat it. After all, the decomposition period of such an "eco-bottle" is only a few weeks.
