Exerscience: Management of Diabetes by Physical Activity/Exercise

Physical activity/exercise is key to the management of diabetes and its complications. Studies have suggested that increased physical activity or regular exercise is associated with reduced risks of diabetes and its complications. However, challenges remained on how to promote physical activity or exercise efficiently, e.g., increase the adherence to physical activity or exercise, in clinical practice. Moreover, it is also unclear how to exercise properly with a maximized benefit and whether exercise training has any... see more

Advancing Diabetic Wound Healing: Mechanisms and Interventions

In recent years, diabetic wounds have become a global health concern with an increase in the incidence of diabetes. Diabetic wounds are a kind of chronic and refractory ulcer. It is generally due to microcirculatory disturbances and reduced levels of endogenous growth factors. Delayed cutaneous wound healing is a chronic complication in diabetic patients and is caused primarily by hyperglycemia, oxidative stress, vascular insufficiency, and microbial infections. The factors that are responsible for delaying chronic... see more

Oxidative and Inflammatory Responses in the Development of Secondary Diabetic Complications

Diabetes, along with its associated secondary complications, represents a significant global health challenge, contributing significantly to morbidity and mortality. Unhealthy lifestyle habits, reduced physical activity, environmental pollutants, and stress are pivotal factors in the onset of diabetes, particularly type-2 diabetes. Poorly managed hyperglycemia can lead to various complications, including neuropathy, nephropathy, retinopathy, cardiovascular issues, and cataractogenesis. Recent research underscores the impact of heightened reactive oxygen species during hyperglycemia, inducing cellular oxidative stress and disrupting inflammatory... see more
