Abdomen belt for diabetes and obesity treatment!
Exercise is the most effective treatment for both diabetes and obesity but sometimes it gets difficult for the older generation or for the overweight population. Researchers at Kumamoto University have developed a medical device that can be simply attached to the abdomen and can effect visceral fat loss and improve blood glucose (sugar).
The heat shock response (HSR) function is decreased in the population with type 2 diabetes. Researchers found that by restoring the function of HSP72, the main protein of HSR, improved glucose-related abnormalities. They found that HSP72 can be activated by a combination of mild electrical stimulation (MES) with heat shock (HS).
The scientists developed a wearable medical device that can be used as an abdomen belt. This device used a special type of rubber to transmit MES and HS at the same time. On performing a clinical trial, decrease in fasting glucose levels, loss of visceral fat, improve insulin resistance, and a significant improvement in glycated hemoglobin values was observed.
This device can be expected to producxe large therapeutic effect.
