The Effect of Mild-Pressure Hyperbaric Therapy (Oasis O2) on Fatigue and Oxidative Stress

Fatigue, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)

Mild-pressure hyperbaric therapy (mHBT) has become increasingly popular among elite athletes and most recently among the general public yet there is very little scientific underpinnings on its therapeutic use. In this study, fifteen healthy volunteers (8 men, 7 women, mean age 29.7 ± 8.1 years) were exposed to 1.3 atmospheres absolute (ATA) for 40 minutes…

Effects of pulsed electromagnetic fields on lipid peroxidation and antioxidant levels in blood and liver of diabetic rats

Liver Disease, Pulsed Electro-Magnetic Field (PEMF) Therapy

Levels of antioxidants in individuals with diabetes increase initially as a response to increases in reactive oxygen species (ROS) and later decrease due to reactions between free radicals and antioxidants. As the disease progresses, antioxidant mechanisms can be damaged in parallel to tissue damage, reducing antioxidant levels. Generalization should be avoided, however, due to increases…
