The effect of controlled electrical stimulation (ES) on some of biochemical characteristics and wounds healing in induced diabetic rabbits.

Abstract The current experiment was aimed to explore the effect of electrical stimulation (ES) on glucose concentrations, cholesterol levels and triglyceride levels in blood and its effect on wound healing in intact and induced diabetes rabbits. 40th male rabbit divided to five treatment, T1 intact animal as control (positive control), T2 intact animal treated with (ES), T3 diabetic rabbits treated with (ES), T4 diabetic rabbit treated with insulin and T5 diabetic rabbits with no treatment as a negative control. Three sub groups were designed as well, T2*, T3*, T4* each one of them is the same main group but with artificial wound on some of its animals. the results were shown a significant decreasing p<0.05 in blood glucose concentration in T3 in comparison with T4 and T5. The cholesterol levels increased significantly p<0.05 in T4 in compared with T3. The concentrations of triglycerides recorded significant p<0.05 decreasing T3, T4 and T5 in compared with T1 and T2. In another hand the ES had a very obvious effect on wound healing in both T2* (intact animals) and T3* (diabetes animals) in comparison with T4* (insulin treated diabetes animals).
