Metabolic syndrome (MS) is a combination of risk factors related to the development of mainly type 2 diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease (CVD) and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Its prevalence has increased worldwide, and healthcare systems will face major challenges in addressing this problem. The aim of this work was to evaluate the effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) on insulin resistance (IR) and obesity associated with MS in Wistar rats.

Article Synopsis
  • Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a common complication of diabetes, and this study aimed to evaluate the impact of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) therapy on kidney function in diabetic patients.
  • In the study, patients with stage 3 and 4 DKD received either HBO2 or ambient air, with significant improvements noted in the experimental group, including reduced urinary albumin excretion and increased glomerular filtration rate (GFR).
  • The results indicated that HBO2 therapy was effective in lowering urinary albumin levels and enhancing kidney function compared to the control group, suggesting it could be a beneficial treatment for patients with advanced DKD.
