Low-intensity Pulsed Ultrasound Stimulation of the Intestine Improves Insulin Resistance in Type 2 Diabetes
Objective
Ultrasound stimulation of internal organs and peripheral nerves has demonstrated promising potential in regulating blood glucose metabolism. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of low-intensity pulsed ultrasound stimulation (LIPUS) on intestine in improving insulin resistance with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Methods
C57BL/6J mice, both normal and T2DM, were randomly divided into three groups: Control, T2D-sham, and T2D-LIPUS. The T2D-LIPUS group received LIPUS stimulation in the intestine. The parameters were as follows: 1 MHz frequency, 1.0 kHz pulse repetition frequency (PRF), 20% duty cycle, 100 mW/cm² intensity spatial average temporal average (ISATA), for 20 minutes per session, five days per week, over four weeks.
Results
Blood glucose analysis indicated that mice in the T2D-LIPUS group displayed significantly lower area under the curve (AUC) of glucose tolerance tests (GTT) and insulin tolerance tests (ITT) (p < 0.001), HOMA-IR (p < 0.001), and fasting serum insulin levels (p < 0.01) compared to the T2D-sham group. LIPUS treatment effectively lowered serum levels of IL-1β (p < 0.001) and TNF-α (p < 0.01) along with mRNA expression levels of IL-1β (p < 0.01) and IL-18 (p < 0.001) in the intestines of T2DM mice. Additionally, Western blot analysis revealed a reduction in the protein levels of NLRP3, caspase-1, and GSDMD-N in the intestinal tissues of mice treated with LIPUS.
Conclusion
These findings suggest that LIPUS can reduce inflammation and cellular apoptosis, while improving insulin resistance by inhibiting the NLRP3/Caspase-1/GSDMD signaling pathway. This research introduces a novel, non-pharmacological approach for managing T2DM.
期刊介绍:
Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology is the official journal of the World Federation for Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology. The journal publishes original contributions that demonstrate a novel application of an existing ultrasound technology in clinical diagnostic, interventional and therapeutic applications, new and improved clinical techniques, the physics, engineering and technology of ultrasound in medicine and biology, and the interactions between ultrasound and biological systems, including bioeffects. Papers that simply utilize standard diagnostic ultrasound as a measuring tool will be considered out of scope. Extended critical reviews of subjects of contemporary interest in the field are also published, in addition to occasional editorial articles, clinical and technical notes, book reviews, letters to the editor and a calendar of forthcoming meetings. It is the aim of the journal fully to meet the information and publication requirements of the clinicians, scientists, engineers and other professionals who constitute the biomedical ultrasonic community.
