Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Oxidative stress is an imbalance of the generation of free radicals or known as reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species \[RNS\]) and their neutralization by the antioxidant mechanisms.
Increased levels of ROS and RNS lead to damage of lipids, proteins, and DNA, ultimately causing the destruction of the islet cells of pancreas through apoptosis . Elliptical trainer device is a relatively new modality of exercise and is advertised to be superior to a treadmill because of the low joint impact and the more reasonable costs of an elliptical trainer compared to a treadmill . Additional quantative research is needed to further evaluate the effectiveness of elliptical trainers and the physiological and perceptual responses to the machine Electroacupuncture (EA) is a treatment form of traditional acupuncture in which small electrical currents are passed through needles inserted into the subject's skin using EA stimulator. It seems to have more acceptable results and effects on many important clinical applications and medical research sets .
