Abstract:

BACKGROUND: More than 50% of patients with diabetes are accompanied by osteoporosis. Exercise is the main method to treat diabetes, but whether it has an impact on diabetes osteoporosis is unclear.
OBJECTIVE: To analyze the different exercise intensities and changes in bone mineral density in type 2 diabetic rat models.
METHODS: Forty rats were randomly divided into model group and low-, medium- and high-intensity exercise groups. All rats received intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin to establish models of type 2 diabetes. Rats in the low-, medium- and high-intensity exercise groups did treadmill training at 10, 20, 30 m/min, 1 hour per day, 6 days as a cycle. They had a rest for 1 day after each cycle, for 8 consecutive cycles. Rats in the model group did not do any exercise.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Compared with the model group, the weight of rats was decreased; blood glucose levels were reduced; osteocalcin and serum calcium levels and biomechanical indexes of femur increased; serum phosphorus and alkaline phosphatase decreased in the low-, medium- and high-intensity exercise groups. Bone mineral density increased in the medium- and high-intensity exercise groups. These findings confirmed that different exercise intensities have a certain influence on bone mineral density and bone metabolism in type 2 diabetic rat models. When using a method of treating movement, proper physical exercise can increase serum osteocalcin content, improve bone metabolism, prevent diabetic osteoporosis, and have a high clinical value.
