The journal Cell Metabolism published a specialized medical scientific study, according to which American scientists have discovered a new, safe and non-invasive way to control blood sugar levels using electric and magnetic fields. Indicating that this unexpected discovery may be a breakthrough in the treatment of type 2 diabetes.
According to the magazine, the discovery was made by chance when one of the article’s authors, a graduate student in the Department of Pediatrics, Medical Genetics and Genomics at the “Sunny Huang” clinic at Iowa State University, which specializes in metabolism and diabetes, needed experimental mice to test sugar in the blood. During this time, Dr. Calvin Carter was the publication’s first author, studying the effect of electromagnetic fields on the brain and behavior of animals. Surprisingly, it was found that the analyzes of transgenic mice with diabetes were normal.
“This was the start of the project. From the start we realized that if the results were confirmed, they could have a serious impact on diabetes treatment,” Carter said.
The scientists hypothesized that magnetic fields affect redox signals, thus improving insulin sensitivity. Upon closer examination, they found that magnetic fields alter the balance of oxidants and antioxidants in the liver, which improves the body’s response to insulin.
The authors of the study were able to normalize the blood sugar level of mice with type 2 diabetes by exposing them for several hours a day to a mixture of static electric and magnetic fields at an intensity about one hundred times higher than the natural field of the Earth. Within three days, insulin resistance improved in the animals and the effect lasted for a long time.
“We have created a remote control for diabetes. This opens up the possibility of using the magnetic field to treat diabetes during sleep or throughout the day,” said Carter. Carter and Huang also analyzed the studies and found that many animals sense the Earth’s electromagnetic field and use it for guidance and navigation.
And Carter said, “Studies have indicated a quantum biological phenomenon through which electromagnetic fields can interact with certain molecules. There are particles in our bodies that act like small magnetic antennas to provide a biological response to electromagnetic fields. Some of these molecules are oxidants that regulate cellular metabolism.”
To understand the biological mechanism of the phenomenon, Carter and Huang appointed internationally recognized experts in redox biology. With their help, the researchers found that an oxidizing molecule called the superoxide plays a major role.
“The superoxide plays a crucial role. When we remove its molecules from the liver, we completely block the effects of EMF on blood sugar and insulin response,” Carter said.
Experiments showed that electromagnetic fields alter the signals of superoxide molecules in the liver, leading to the normalization of redox potentials in the body and the insulin response. Meanwhile, exposure of the mice to the fields did not cause any negative side effects.
According to the journal, in addition to studies in mice, researchers treated human liver cells with a magnetic field for six hours, and showed that the insulin sensitivity marker improved significantly.
It is reported that the World Health Organization considers low-energy electric and magnetic fields to be safe for human health, so scientists hope that they will be able to move to clinical trials in humans.
