Implication

Observational analysis showed improved insulin signaling and reduced inflammatory markers in diabetic rats treated with electroacupuncture, indicating its potential as a non-pharmacological therapy.

Key Points

EA improved insulin resistance and reduced fasting insulin levels in a rat model of type 2 diabetes.
Notable decreases in interleukin and tumor necrosis factor levels were observed following treatment.
Assessment using echocardiography revealed enhanced myocardial structural integrity linked to electroacupuncture.
These findings suggest electroacupuncture may offer a promising approach to manage diabetes-related cardiovascular complications.
