Combined Treadmill Running and Insulin Therapy Favors the Stabilization of Glycemic Metabolic Parameters and Avoids Increased Achilles Tendon Rigidity in Diabetic Rats
SUMMARY Background. Hyperglycemia reduces tendon homeostasis. Effects of physical exercise on diabetic rats have been widely studied; however, the effects of a combined physical and insulin therapy on biomechanical properties of the Achilles tendon (AT) remain unclear. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of the combination of moderate-intensity exercise on a treadmill and … Continued
