Abstract
Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) can be an alternative to conventional exercising. This randomized clinical trial evaluated the effect of NMES in type 2 diabetes patients. Twenty-eight individuals with type 2 diabetes were assigned to NMES (n=14) or NMES-placebo (n=14) applied to knee extensor muscles for 60 minutes. Glucose variability, microvascular function and endothelial function were evaluated through continuous glucose monitoring system, near infrared spectroscopy and flow-mediated dilatation, respectively. Glucose levels (mg/dl) decreased 2h (184 ± 11 vs 223 ±15), 3h (179 ± 12 vs 219 ±14) and 4h (177 ± 12 vs 212 ±12) after NMES, in comparison to NMES-placebo. No differences in glucose variability were found: coefficient of variation (%) at 0-6h (11.4±1.3 vs 11.4±1.2), 6-12h (9.8±1.0 vs 11.6±1.6), 12-18h (15.5±2.0 vs 11.4±2.1), 18-24h (12.8±2.3 vs 10.0±1.6); standard deviation (mg/dl) at 0-6h (21.6±2 vs 24.6±3.5), 6-12h (19.5±1.8 vs 20.3±2.8), 12-18h (29.9±3.5 vs 21.3±2.8),18-24h (22.8±4.1 vs 16.6±2.0) and mean amplitude of glycemic excursions (mg/dl) 54.9±25.0 vs 70.3±35.7. Endothelial and microvascular functions did not change. In conclusion, one acute NMES session was strong enough to trigger glucose reduction in individuals with type 2 DM, but it failed to induce any significant change in glucose variability, endothelial and microvascular functions.

Abstract
AIMS To conduct a systematic review assessing the association between dietary, surgical, and pharmacological interventions and changes in the gut microbiota of individuals with diabetes. METHODS The MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library databases were searched focusing on the effects of dietary, bariatric surgery, and pharmacological interventions on gut microbiota in adults with diabetes. Studies were classified based on qualitative changes using a simple vote-counting method, evaluating reduction, no effect, or an increase in the gut microbiota outcomes. RESULTS 6,004 studies were retained to review their titles and abstracts. A total of 149 full-text articles were reassessed, of which 49 were included in the final analysis. This review indicates that dietary, surgical, and pharmacological interventions increase or decrease bacterial populations from more than 60 families, genera, or species. In general, the interventions led to an increase in the bacterial population from phylum Firmicutes, mainly Lactobacillus species, compared to the gram-negative bacterial population from phylum Bacteroidetes. CONCLUSIONS The results of the included studies suggest that interventions aimed at reducing species related to uncontrolled diabetes and increasing species related to the healthy gut are potential adjuvants in treating diabetes; however, well-conducted interventional studies targeting gut microbiota are necessary.

Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS The aim was to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled clinical trials assessing the effect of probiotic, prebiotic or synbiotic supplementation on gut microbiota and glucose control and lipid levels in individuals with diabetes. METHODS MEDLINE, EMBASE and the Cochrane Library were searched. The eligibility criteria for the studies was involvement of participants with a diagnosis of type 1 or type 2 diabetes. Metabolic outcomes (glucose control, insulinaemia, and lipid profile) of any probiotic, prebiotic or synbiotic supplementation related to modification of gut microbiota (prebiotics, probiotics and synbiotics) were analysed. We provided a narrative synthesis and meta-analysis of the findings on metabolic outcomes from the studies. Metabolic outcomes were extracted post-intervention and expressed as mean differences (MDs) and 95% CIs between treatment and comparator groups. We pooled the results using a random-effects meta-analysis. The meta-analysis was conducted using Review Manager (RevMan) software. RESULTS After the removal of duplicates and ineligible studies, 5219 studies were retained for review of titles and abstracts. The number of articles was reduced to 130 by review, for which the full-text articles were obtained and reassessed, 38 of which were included in the final meta-analysis. Overall, the use of prebiotics, probiotics or synbiotics reduced HbA1c levels, but did not reach the threshold for significance (-2.17 mmol/mol, 95% CI -4.37, 0.03; p = 0.05, [-0.20%, 95% CI -0.40 to 0.00; p = 0.05, I2 = 66%]) and had no effect on LDL-cholesterol levels (-0.05 mmol/l; 95% CI -0.14, 0.05, p = 0.35, I2 = 37%). However, their consumption decreased levels of fasting blood glucose (-0.58 mmol/l; 95% CI -0.86, -0.30; p < 0.01, I2 = 60%), total cholesterol (-0.14 mmol/l; 95% CI -0.26, -0.02, p = 0.02, I2 = 39%), triacylglycerols (-0.11 mmol/l; 95% CI -0.20, -0.02, p = 0.01, I2= 21%) and insulinaemia (-10.51 pmol/l; 95% CI -16.68,-4.33, p < 0.01, I2 = 74%), and increased HDL-cholesterol levels (0.04 mmol/l; 95% CI 0.01, 0.07, p < 0.01, I2= 24%). CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION In individuals with diabetes mellitus, supplementation with probiotics, prebiotics or synbiotics improved metabolic variables, although the magnitude of this effect is low. Our results suggest that consumption of probiotics, prebiotics or synbiotics may be a potential adjuvant treatment for improving metabolic outcomes. REGISTRATION PROSPERO ID CRD42017080071.

Abstract
Rats were made hypertensive by the administration of the nitric oxide synthase inhibitor nitro-L-arginine (LNA, 2.74 mmol/L) in drinking water for 7 d. Hearts from hemodynamically assessed animals were analyzed for lipid peroxidation (LPO), gamma-glutamylcysteine-synthetase (gamma-GCS), glutathione disulfide reductase (GR), glutathione peroxidase (GSHPx), catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and total radical trapping potential (TRAP) activities. LNA treatment increased the mean arterial blood pressure by 46% and the heart rate by 22% without changing plasma renin activity. LNA treatment resulted in a 30% increase in LPO. gamma-GCS was reduced by 48% and GR by 36% in the cardiac tissue of hypertensive rats as compared to controls. The activity of nonselenium GSHPx was reduced by 27%, and selenium-dependent GSHPx activity in the heart was not affected by LNA treatment. In hypertensive rats, SOD activity was increased by 16%, and CAT was decreased by 46%. TRAP was lower (27%) in the myocardium of hypertensive rats than in that of controls. These data suggest that LNA-induced hypertension is associated with increased myocardial oxidative stress.
