Intestinal electrical stimulation attenuates hyperglycemia and prevents loss of pancreatic β cells in type 2 diabetic Goto–Kakizaki rats

Recently, intestinal electrical stimulation (IES) has been reported to result in weight loss; however, it is unclear whether it has a therapeutic potential for diabetes. The aim of the present study was to explore the potential hypoglycemic effects of IES and its possible mechanisms involving β cells in diabetic rats
