2. Effects of MICT and HIIT on General Conditions of db/db Mice
(1) MICT and HIIT Reduce Body Weight in db/db Mice: Compared to the NC group, the body weight of mice in the DC group significantly increased from week 0 to week 10 (P < 0.001). Compared to the DC group, the body weight of mice in both the MICT and HIIT groups began to significantly decrease from week 4 (P < 0.05) and continued to significantly decrease from week 6 (P < 0.001). There was no significant difference in body weight between the MICT and HIIT groups.
(2) MICT and HIIT Lower Random Blood Glucose Levels in db/db Mice: Compared to the NC group, the random blood glucose levels of mice in the DC group significantly increased from week 0 to week 10 (P < 0.001). Compared to the DC group, the blood glucose levels of mice in the MICT group significantly decreased from week 6 to week 8 (P < 0.05) and at week 10 (P < 0.01). Compared to the DC group, the blood glucose levels of mice in the HIIT group significantly decreased from week 6 to week 8 (P < 0.01) and at week 10 (P < 0.001). There was no significant difference in blood glucose levels between the MICT and HIIT groups during the 10-week intervention period.
