“…Cupping helps alleviate respiratory symptoms by decreasing deoxy-hemoglobin and enhancing blood microcirculation, endothelial repair, angiogenesis, and oxygenation 10 , 41 , 42 , 43 . Additionally, cupping regulates parasympathetic activity, vasodilation, interstitial fluid exertion, and lung ventilation 44 .…”

“…In accordance with our results, previous studies noticed that wet cupping remarkably mitigated SBP in patients with hypertension [ 25 ]. Additionally, wet and dry cupping reduced SBP, DBP, and pulse rate while enhancing oxygen saturation [ 26 ]. Furthermore, previous studies supported the blood-lowering effects of several natural compounds, including barberry [ 27 ] and pomegranate juice [ 28 ].…”

Objectives Routine therapies cannot control refractory stable angina, leading to a high economic burden and an impaired quality of life. Persian medicine incorporates exceptional attention to lifestyle and nutrition to prevent and treat various diseases. Previous studies have reported the analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects of wet cupping. The present study aims to determine the effects of nutrition and cupping on refractory stable angina patients. Methods Forty male patients with refractory stable angina were randomly allocated to four groups, including nutrition modification based on Persian medicine, wet cupping, nutrition modification along with wet cupping, and control. The primary outcomes were the changes in pain score using a visual analog scale and quality of life using the Seattle angina questionnaire. The secondary outcomes were changes in the exercise test and blood pressure. Results The results of the present study revealed that 30 days of treatment with nutrition modification based on Persian medicine, cupping, and modified nutrition and cupping along with standard treatment for stable angina significantly increased the patient’s quality of life and exercise test results while reducing pain, and systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Conclusion Applying complementary Persian medicine methods such as nutrition modification and cupping along with the classical medical treatments may improve outcomes for refractory stable angina patients.

“…Besides the induced-deterioration of liver disease by high leptin levels, overweight is the main risk factor for the development of IR and type 2 DM among HCV patients [11]. Besides its importance for maintaining the normal mental, physical, psychological health issues [12][13][14][15], exercise promotes the health of the liver, relieves the side effects of medications, improves immunity, promotes the sense of well-being, enhances weight maintenance and/or loss, lowers the sensation of chronic fatigue, improves blood oxygen levels, and enhances the full-energized sensation by the excretion of endorphins in HCV patients [16].…”

Introduction: Leptin is one of the new adipokines that reflects the pathological status of liver tissue in the chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV). This study aimed to investigate the leptin and liver enzymes responses to aerobic exercise (AE) in overweight nondiabetics with HCV.Material and methods: Forty nondiabetic non-cirrhotic HCV men aged 40-60 years old with a body mass index (BMI) varied from 25-29.9 kg/m2 were divided randomly to study and control groups. The study group (n = 20) received a 3-session continuous moderate-intensity AE per week for 12 weeks while the control group (n = 20) were advised to maintain their normal level of physical activity. Pre and post measurements of weight, BMI, waist circumference, fasting blood glucose (FBG), alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST), and leptin were measured for all forty patients.Results: Statistical ANOVA analysis revealed a post-treatment significant statistical decrease of all variables within the study group (p < 0.05) while the control group showed a non-significant difference of all measurements. Post-treatment between-group analysis showed a significant statistical difference in FBG, ALT, AST, and leptin in favor of the study group.Conclusions: To restore the normal hepatic cellular functions and to prevent HCV-induced hepatic fibrosis, AE is a strong therapeutic modality that lowers leptin levels via weight maintenance and/or loss, increased glucose uptake, and declined liver enzymes.
