Abstract:▼ Background: Patients with diabetes suff er from slow-to-heal wounds, which often necessitate amputation. Electrical stimulation has been shown to reduce the healing time in such patients.Objectives: This study aimed to determine the eff ect of electrical muscle stimulation on insulin resistance, glucose absorption, and blood lipids in type 2 diabetic rat model. Methods: Diabetic rats and normal rats were treated with electrical muscle stimulation (10 Hz, 2 mA, 20 ms) for 40 days. Blood glucose, lipids, insul… Show more
