  • Higher rates of diabetes complications are linked to poor physical activity, prompting a study on the effects of six months of moderate-intensity aerobic training on patients with prediabetes and type 2 diabetes (T2DM).
  • The study involved 50 participants, split into two groups based on their HbA1c levels, with various health indicators measured before and after the training period.
  • Results showed significant improvements in BMI, blood sugar, and lipid profiles for both groups, indicating that aerobic exercise can help manage diabetes-related health issues effectively.

Heat stress is one of the stressors that negatively affect broiler chickens, leading to a reduction in production efficiency and profitability. This reduction affects the economy in general, especially in hot and semi-hot countries. Therefore, improving heat tolerance of broiler chicks is a key to sustained peak performance, especially under adverse environmental heat stress conditions.

: Physical exercise is an important therapeutic modality for treating and managing diabetes. High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is considered one of the best non-drug strategies for preventing and treating type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) by improving mitochondrial biogenesis and function. This study aimed to determine the effects of 12 weeks of HIIT training on the expression of tumor suppressor protein-p53, mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase (COX), and oxidative stress in patients with T2DM.
