Mild electrical stimulation with heat shock ameliorates insulin resistance via enhanced insulin signaling.

Mild electrical stimulation with heat shock ameliorates insulin resistance via enhanced insulin signaling.

Low-intensity electrical current (or mild electrical stimulation; MES) influences signal transduction and activates phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase (PI3K)/Akt pathway. Because insulin resistance is characterized by a marked reduction in insulin-stimulated PI3K-mediated activation of Akt, we asked whet...
