Description
Jie Zhang, Baiwei Zhang, and Chunjing He wrote a 2026 animal study on shock wave therapy for diabetes-damaged blood vessels. The therapy sends sound pulses into tissue and is used for some muscle and bone problems. The team tested it on the leg blood flow of rats with diabetic vessel disease.
Forty rats were split into five groups, including drug-treated and combined groups. Treated rats showed lower levels of a growth signal protein and its pathway. They also showed more of a vessel-wall marker in leg muscle, wider thigh arteries, and faster blood flow. The combined group showed the strongest changes. The authors link the benefit to calmer vessel growth signaling.
