AI Article Synopsis
- Exercise can help manage diabetes by improving glucose and magnesium levels, but how it affects magnesium transport is still not fully understood.
- A study involving 15 adults with type 2 diabetes revealed that a three-month cycling program led to improved blood glucose and magnesium levels, although body weight showed no significant change.
- Key magnesium transporter genes were downregulated after exercise, indicating that physical activity may influence magnesium transport in diabetic patients.
Article Abstract
Background: Exercise is an effective therapy for the management of diabetes because it helps regulate glucose and magnesium homeostasis. Nevertheless, the mechanisms by which exercise exerts effects on magnesium transport remain unclear. This study investigated the expression of genes encoding magnesium transporters (GMTs) after a three-month exercise program in diabetic patients.
Methods: This study was conducted with a within-subject pre-post design. A total of 15 adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) were recruited and underwent a three-month indoor bicycle exercise program. The expression of five GMTs (CNNM2, TRPM6, TRPM7, SLC41A1, and SLC41A3) was determined in blood samples. Relevant anthropometric values and biochemical parameters were also determined.
Results: Although the body weight and body mass index decreased after three months exercise, there were no significant differences. Fasting blood glucose, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), waist circumference, and magnesium levels decreased after the exercise program (p < 0.05). The expression of SLC41A1 and SLC41A3 were downregulated after exercise, but only CNNM2, TRPM6, and TRPM7 showed significantly decreased expression levels compared with those before the exercise program (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: The three-month exercise program ameliorated blood glucose levels and downregulated the expression of magnesium-responsive genes in patients with T2DM.

Purpose: This study aimed to explore the potential application of NAO in guiding patients through rehabilitative exercises using external audiovisual stimuli, focusing on temporospatial control in terms of range of motion (ROM), execution time and movement smoothness.
Methods: This is a preliminary analysis involving ten healthy volunteers and two patients with shoulder musculoskeletal disorders. The protocol was developed in two phases (III and IV) with different ROM limits and including flexion-extension (FE), external-rotation (ER) and internal-rotation (IR) exercises, performed at two speeds and both with and without NAO assistance.

Background Preventive measures are critical in avoiding and limiting the severity of diseases. Key lifestyle behaviors include sleep hygiene, habitual exercise, a healthy diet, and avoidance of risky substances, particularly the use of tobacco. The transtheoretical model (TTM) of change suggests that patients can move towards healthful changes through education.

Introduction: Neck pain affects 203 million people globally and is prevalent in various settings due to factors like poor posture, lack of exercise, and occupational hazards. Therefore, addressing ergonomic issues with solutions like a wearable robotic device is crucial. This research presents a novel assistive exosuit, characterized by its slim and lightweight structure and intuitive control without the use of hands, designed to mitigate muscle fatigue in the neck and shoulders during prolonged flexed neck posture.
