Male Wistar rats were divided into eight groups: non-diabetics (untrained, trained aerobic, trained resistance, trained combined), diabetic (untrained, trained aerobic, trained resistance, trained combined). Serum glucose levels, maximum effort test, renal function and mitochondrial biogenesis were assessed. Western blot and immunohistochemistry were used to evaluate the expression of the mitochondrial biogenesis protein and Acetil-CoA carboxylase. No differences were observed in body weight and glycaemia between diabetic rats. Diabetic animals and controls in the trained aerobic and combined groups exhibited an increase in running time, whereas animals in the trained resistance and combined groups showed greater strength. Our data suggest that exercise training can modulate the molecular pathways involved in mitochondrial biogenesis and control of renal system, decreasing the progression of diabetic nephropathy and indicating that renal disease can be prevented with non- pharmacological treatments. In conclusion, the three training protocols led to an increase in physical capacity and mitochondrial and renal benefits that were not dependent on improvements in glycemic control. In this model, combined training seems to promote more benefits than resistance or aerobic training alone.","PeriodicalId":92240,"journal":{"name":"Journal of diabetes, metabolic disorders & control","volume":"77 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88393794","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus, early detection and appropriate treatment are essential to prevent diabetes complications that may cause disability and death. The main aim of the study is to test the effectiveness of a one stop screening clinic for retinopathy, nephropathy, and neuropathy for people with diabetes. Methods : A cross-sectional observational study, the study was done during a period of 3 months from February to March 2019. We used convenience sampling to select participants who attended the screening clinic of the Diabetes Care Center at King Salman Hospital, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. A total of 260 diabetic patients participated in the study. Results: The study included 260 participants, around 61% were female participants. The mean age of the participants was 51 years. Most of the participants were type 2 diabetic patients (93.5%). Patients’ acceptance and satisfaction rates of the one stop clinic were 100%. Non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy prevalence was 11%. Meanwhile, the prevalence of maculopathy was 1.5%. The prevalence of micro-albuminuria was 18.6% and macro-albuminuria was 1.9%. Also, the prevalence of chronic kidney disease stage 3 was 4.2% and stage 4 was 0.4%. We found that neuropathic symptoms were present in 40.7% of the participants. The prevalence of diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DNP) according to the neuropathy disability score, which is our gold standard test was 13.8% and using 10-g monofilament test was 19.5%. Meanwhile, the prevalence of DNP according to DPN-check was 40.9%, and according to Sudoscan was 73%. Conclusion: Having one clinic that combines retinopathy, nephropathy, and neuropathy screening is possible. A one stop clinic is also highly accepted, reduces clinical visits, and can detect microvascular disease.","PeriodicalId":92240,"journal":{"name":"Journal of diabetes, metabolic disorders & control","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89629859","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
