Article Synopsis
- Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) can lead to problems with blood vessel function, increasing the risk of heart issues, and hot water immersion (HWI) might help improve this, though research is limited.
- A study with 14 participants assessed the effects of 8-10 sessions of HWI, measuring various heart and blood vessel functions before and after the treatment.
- Results showed significant reductions in cardiac index, stroke volume index, resting heart rate, and systolic blood pressure, suggesting HWI could benefit heart-related measures in T2DM, but it didn’t improve overall vascular function.
Article Synopsis
- - The study explored the effects of repeated hot water immersion (HWI) on insulin sensitivity and inflammation in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), finding that it improved fasting insulin sensitivity and reduced plasma insulin levels.
- - Fourteen T2DM participants underwent HWI, with significant improvements in metabolic efficiency indicated by a 6.63% reduction in resting metabolic rate (RMR), although other measures like blood glucose and inflammatory markers showed no notable changes.
- - This research is the first to focus on HWI for improving metabolic health in T2DM, suggesting that repeated hot water treatments can potentially enhance insulin function and overall metabolic outcomes.
