Impacts of exercise interventions on different diseases and organ functions in mice

Background'. In recent years, much evidence has emerged to indicate that exercise can benefit people when performed properly. This reviewsummarizes the exercise interventions used in studies involving mice as they are related to special diseases or physiological status. To furtherunderstand the effects of exercise interventions in treating or preventing diseases, it is important to establish a template for exercise interventionsthat can be used in future exercise-related studies.Methods'. PubMed was used as the data resource for articles. To identify studies related to the effectiveness of exercise interventions for treatingvarious diseases and organ functions in mice, we used the following search language: (exercise [Title] OR training [Title] OR physical activity[Title]) AND (mice [title/abstract] OR mouse [title/abstract] OR mus [title/abstract]). To limit the range of search results, we included 2 filters:one that limited publication dates to "in 10 years,^ and one that sorted the results as "best match^^. Then we grouped the commonly used exercisemethods according to their similarities and differences. We then evaluated the effectiveness of the exercise interventions for their impact on diseasesand organ functions in 8 different systems.Results'. A total of 331 articles were included in the analysis procedure. The articles were then segmented into 8 systems for which the exerciseinterventions were used in targeting and treating disorders: motor system (60 studies), metabolic system (45 studies), cardio-cerebral vascularsystem (58 studies), nervous system (74 studies), immune system (32 studies), respiratory system (7 studies), digestive system (1 study), and thesystem related to the development of cancer (54 studies). The methods of exercise interventions mainly involved the use of treadmills, voluntarywheel-running, forced wheel-running, swimming, and resistance training. It was found that regardless of the specific exercise method used, mostof them demonstrated positive effects on various systemic diseases and organ functions. Most diseases were remitted with exercise regardless ofthe exercise method used, although some diseases showed the best remission effects when a specific method was used.Conclusion-. Our review strongly suggests that exercise intervention is a cornerstone in disease prevention and treatment in mice. Because exerciseinterventions in humans typically focus on chronic diseases, national fitness, and body weight loss, and typically have low intervention com・pliance rates, it is important to use mice models to investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying the health benefits from exerciseinterventions in humans.

The Effect of Standardized Nutritional Care Combined with Exercise Intervention in Patients with Gestational Diabetes Mellitus and Its Effect on FPG,2hPG,and HbA1c Levels

Objective:To study the application effect of standardized nutritional care combined with exercise intervention in patients with gestational diabetes mellitus and the effect on fasting blood glucose(FPG),2-hour postprandial blood glucose(2hPG),and glycated hemoglobin(HbA1c)levels.Methods:Ninety cases of gestational diabetes mellitus diagnosed between June 2022 and June 2023 were selected and randomly divided into two groups of 45 cases each.The control group received conventional intervention,while the observation group received combined standardized nutritional care and exercise intervention.Blood glucose levels,adverse pregnancy outcomes,and adverse neonatal outcomes were compared.Results:On the day before delivery,the FPG,2hPG,and HbA1c levels of patients in the observation group were lower than those of patients in the control group(P<0.05).The incidence of adverse pregnancy outcomes(4.44%)and adverse neonatal outcomes(2.22%)in the observation group was lower than in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion:The blood glucose levels of gestational diabetes mellitus patients can be controlled through standardized nutritional care and exercise interventions,leading to improved pregnancy and neonatal outcomes.

A Study on the Effect of Exercise Intervention on Function and Pain in Patients with Low Back Pain

Lower back pain(LBP)has a relatively high incidence across various age groups,characterized by discomfort in the lumbosacral and iliosacral regions above the gluteal striatum and within the region below the costal margins.Some patients also experience varying degrees of leg pain,with many experiencing prolonged and recurrent symptoms.International consensus confirms that exercise intervention is an effective treatment method for lower back pain,offering safe and efficient physical therapy.Extensive practical experience suggests that Pilates exercises can effectively regulate the strength of muscle tissue in the peripheral region of the spine,improve muscle endurance,and alleviate low back pain caused by muscular factors.This study analyzes the effects of exercise intervention on the function and pain of patients with lower back pain.It explores various exercise modalities,utilizes SPSS26 statistics to gather data,and draws conclusions with the aim of providing theoretical references for exercise interventions in patients with lower back pain.

β-cell dynamics in type 2 diabetes and in dietary and exercise interventions

Pancreaticβ-cell dysfunction and insulin resistance are two of the major causes of type 2 diabetes(T2D).Recent clinical and experimental studies have suggested that the functional capacity ofβ-cells,particularly in the first phase of insulin secretion,is a primary contributor to the progression of T2D and its associated complications.Pancreaticβ-cells undergo dynamic compensation and decompensation processes during the development of T2D,in which metabolic stresses such as endoplasmic reticulum stress,oxidative stress,and inflammatory signals are key regulators ofβ-cell dynamics.Dietary and exercise interventions have been shown to be effective approaches for the treatment of obesity and T2D,especially in the early stages.Whilst the targeted tissues and underlying mechanisms of dietary and exercise interventions remain somewhat vague,accumulating evidence has implicated the improvement ofβ-cell functional capacity.In this review,we summarize recent advances in the understanding of the dynamic adaptations ofβ-cell function in T2D progression and clarify the effects and mechanisms of dietary and exercise interventions onβ-cell dysfunction in T2D.This review provides molecular insights into the therapeutic effects of dietary and exercise interventions on T2D,and more importantly,it paves the way for future research on the related underlying mechanisms for developing precision prevention and treatment of T2D.

Effect of exercise interventions and prophylactic devices on reducing peroneal muscle reaction time by sudden ankle perturbation:A systematic review and meta-analysis

The purpose of this study was to determine whether interventions could improve peroneal reaction time in both healthy and those with injured ankle participants based on a systematic review and meta-analysis.An electronic search of the following database was carried out:MEDLINE,ScienceDirect and SPORTDiscus(1965–2020).Studies utilising sudden ankle inversion to measure peroneal reaction times were selected.28 studies were included for the systematic review,and 18 studies for the meta-analysis.The peroneal reaction time for pre-and post-intervention were compared into two groups,Group 1 was therapeutic exercise intervention,and Group 2 was prophylactic devices.The results showed a statistically significant difference in reduced peroneal reaction time in favour of participants in the exercise group(SMD=0.74,95%CI[1.09,0.39],p<0.001,I^(2)80%),while the prophylactic devices group showed no significant difference between control and intervention group.The effect size measured was 0.81 and 0.31 in Group 1 and Group 2,respectively.Faster peroneal muscle onset reaction time post-intervention,which was found following therapeutic exercise,should be considered for rehabilitation and preventing of ankle sprain injury.

Current Status of Diabetes Prevention and Control in China and Early-Stage Intervention Strategies

In recent years,the prevalence of diabetes in China has continued to rise,with the adult prevalence expected to reach 12.8%by 2023.To control this trend,the government has introduced several policies and invested substantial funds in the prevention and treatment of diabetes,achieving certain results.Prediabetes is a stage where blood glucose metabolism can still be restored.For individuals in this stage,dietary and exercise intervention programs are recommended to prevent or delay the onset of diabetes,improve quality of life,and reduce the burden of disease on individuals,families,and society.

Effect of aerobic exercise on insulin resistance and centra1 adiposity disappeared after the discontinuation of intervention in overweight women

Purpose： This study aimed to assess whether the benefits of exercise on central adiposity and insulin resistance （HOMA-IR） are maintained after discontinuation of intervention in the overweight/obese （OWOB） women. Methods： The study subjects were from 2 independent studies with similar aerobic exercise （AE） intervention programs. In study I, I50WOB postmenopausal women with pre-diabetes （body mass index, BMI = 24-33 kg/m2, aged 52-65 years） completed an 8-month exercise intervention and were followed for 2 years after the intervention. In study lI, 12 OWOB （BM1 = 25-35 kg/m2, aged 30-50 years） premenopausal women participated in a 6-week AE and were followed for 4 years after the intervention. The exercise program consisted of progressive AE with intensity of 60%-75% of initial fitness level, 30-60 min/time and 3-5 times/week. Fat mass （FM） was assessed by Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry （DXA Prodigy; study I） or bioelectrical impedance device （Inbody 720; study II）. Plasma glucose and insulin were assessed by chemiluminescent immunoassay and HOMA-IR was calculated. Results： Both 8-month and 6-week moderate AE were effective in reducing HOMA-IR （-18.9%, p = 0.012 and -26.7%, p = 0.046, respectively）, and 8-month AE reduced FM at upper abdominal region （-6.2%, p = 0.021）. However, these improvements were not maintained in either study at the follow-up. Conclusion： The AE program used in these studies was effective to reduce insulin resistance and/or FM in central body region among overweight and obese women. However, when exercise intervention was discontinued, the beneficial effects following both short- and long-term intervention disappeared. Thus maintaining exercise seems to be required if one wants to reap the benefits of exercise in the long-term.

Diet restriction and exercise alleviate cognitive reduction of high fat diet (HFD)-induced obese mice by rescuing inflammation-mediated compromised insulin signaling pathway through activating AMPK/SIRT1 signal pathway and suppressing TLR4 signal pathway

Obesity,caused by excessive energy,leads to body weight gain and various diseases,including cognitive impairment.Current studies suggest that diet restriction such as optimal fasting and regular exercise are crucial for improving cognitive capacity.However,further exploration is needed to understand the specific mechanisms of high fat diet(HFD)-induced cognitive decline in obesity.In the present study,4-month-old mice were subjected to HFD feeding for 18 weeks,followed by aerobic exercise and high-intensity intermittent exercise,regular diet feeding,and intermittent fasting for 8 weeks,and then used to evaluate cognitive capacity,inflammation,compromised insulin signaling pathway,and apoptosis in hippocampal tissue,as well as AMPK/SIRT1 and TLR4 signal pathways.Obese mice revealed impaired cognitive capacity as compared with mice fed with regular diets.In contrast,aerobic exercise,high-intensity intermittent exercise,regular diet,and intermittent fasting could inhibit apoptosis caused by inflammation-mediated compromised insulin signaling pathway in hippocampal tissues through activating the AMPK/SIRT1 signal pathway and suppressing the TLR4 signal pathway,thereby rescuing the cognitive impairment of obese mice.Therefore,diet restriction and exercise interventions may play a positive role in reverting obesity-induced cognitive impairment.

Progress research on non-drug therapy in cancer-related fatigue

Cancer-related fatigue is the most prevalent and persistently symptom in cancer survivors than any other symptom,which is caused by both the disease and its treatment.Patients with cancer show a severe symptom of fatigue,which cannot be relieved by general rest or sleep.Cancer-related fatigue negatively impacts a patient's physical and emotional function,social ability and even patients’prognosis.At present,the mechanism of cancer-related fatigue remain unclear despite much research,and a variety of mechanisms may contribute to its occurrence and development,including inflammatory reaction,metabolism dysregulation,immune activation,hormonal changes,central nervous system dysfunction,etc.Now a broad variety of drugs and non-drugs interventions are used against cancer-related fatigue.The intervention of conventional western medicine mainly contains hematopoietic stimulants,hormones,mental stimulants,and antidepressants,but their widely clinical application is limited by their effectiveness and possible side effects to a certain degree.There are also many forms of non-drug interventions for managing cancer-related fatigue,such as exercise intervention,psychological intervention,sleep intervention,nutrition intervention,bright white light therapy,etc.The aim of this review is to provide recommendations of non-drug interventions for patients with CRF during and after cancer treatment,in order to provide an evidence-based guideline for clinicians.

An integrative profiling of metabolome and transcriptome in the plasma and skeletal muscle following an exercise intervention in diet-induced obese mice

Exercise intervention at the early stage of type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)can aid in the maintenance of blood glucose homeostasis and prevent the development of macrovascular and microvascular complications.However,the exercise-regulated pathways that prevent the development of T2DM remain largely unclear.In this study,two forms of exercise intervention,treadmill training and voluntary wheel running,were conducted for high-fat diet(HFD)-induced obese mice.We observed that both forms of exercise intervention alleviated HFD-induced insulin resistance and glucose intolerance.Skeletal muscle is recognized as the primary site for postprandial glucose uptake and for responsive alteration beyond exercise training.Metabolomic profiling of the plasma and skeletal muscle in Chow,HFD,and HFD-exercise groups revealed robust alterations in metabolic pathways by exercise intervention in both cases.Overlapping analysis identified nine metabolites,including beta-alanine,leucine,valine,and tryptophan,which were reversed by exercise treatment in both the plasma and skeletal muscle.Transcriptomic analysis of gene expression profiles in the skeletal muscle revealed several key pathways involved in the beneficial effects of exercise on metabolic homeostasis.In addition,integrative transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses uncovered strong correlations between the concentrations of bioactive metabolites and the expression levels of genes involved in energy metabolism,insulin sensitivity,and immune response in the skeletal muscle.This work established two models of exercise intervention in obese mice and provided mechanistic insights into the beneficial effects of exercise intervention on systemic energy homeostasis.

Research Progress on Pathogenesis and Intervention Measures of Depression

With the wide spread of the epidemic,the long-term closed lifestyle and the sharp reduction of physical activities,many people have mental health problems such as panic,anxiety and depression.At present,there are few studies on the effect of exercise on depression.Therefore,the study selected exercise intervention therapy and other intervention methods to evaluate the intervention effect of depression,and explored the effect of exercise intervention by evaluating depression scale and effective indicators.Hope this can provide a new idea for exercise intervention as an adjunctive therapy for depression on drug treatment.

Exercise precision medicine for type 2 diabetes:Targeted benefit or risk?

Concurrent exercise and metformin administration may reduce the acute and chronic effects of exercise on glucose metabolism in the patients with type 2 diabetes(T2D).However,several studies suggest that combing metformin and exercise treatment may have neither additive effect nor even cause adverse effects in T2D patients.This case report aimed to highlight the challenges associated with prescribing exercise to type 2 diabetes patients undergoing metformin treatment.A 67-years old woman was followed-up for five months,including assessment of the acute and chronic glucose and lactate metabolism induced by concomitant exercise and metformin.The findings were four-fold:1)During a high-intensity interval training bout,blood glucose systematically decreased,while blood lactate concentrations fluctuated randomly;2)Basal blood lactate levels were well above 2 mmol/L on days with medication only;3)Combined exercise and metformin administration induced additive effects on the normalization of glucose and 4)high levels of physical activity had a positive impact on the continuous glucose fluctuations,while decreased levels of physical activity induced a large fluctuation of glucose due to home confinement of an infectious disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus.Our findings showed that when combined with exercise and metformin treatment for T2D patients,exercise may contribute to improving glycemic control while metformin may elevate lactate levels in the long term.The observed results underline the need to prescribe exercise and monitor lactate levels for reducing possible risks associated with metformin treatment and reinforce the importance of tailoring exercise therapy.

Effect of exercise on inhibitory control is dose-dependent for adolescents

Adolescence is an important stage for brain maturation.To investigate the effect of different exercise doses on inhibitory control in adolescents aged 12 to 14-year old,an after-school exercise program was offered 5 days per week for 12 weeks during a school semester.Thirsty-four adolescents(17 boys)from the first six classes were randomly divided into low-dose exercise group(LE group,one 30-min aerobic exercise bout per day,n=16)and high-dose exercise group(HE group,two 30-min aerobic exercise bouts per day,n=18),while 23 adolescents(10 boys)in the control group(CON,zero 30-min exercise bout,n=23)were from the last two classes.All the participants in different classes received the same physical education with the same contents,duration,and intensity at class.All the participants completed flanker tests and cardiorespiratory tests before and after exercise intervention.The HE group showed more significant improvements on inhibitory control and VO_(2peak)than CON(p<0.05).Changes in physical activity(PA)were significantly correlated with changes in interference scores(Spearman rho=-0.30,p<0.05),VO_(2peak)(Spearman rho=0.31,p<0.05),and BF percentage(Spearman rho=-0.32,p<0.05).This study demonstrated that effect of exercise on inhibitory control in adolescents is dose-dependent,which highlights the need to focus on the exercise dose in daily life for improving cognition among adolescents.
