[25] concluded that an 8-week NMES training program could have a positive effect on the blood glucose concentration, percent body fat, and plasma BDNF levels in patients with T2DM, and that NMES training might prove to be an alternative exercise method for patients who might have difficulties in performing adequate voluntary exercise [25]. The gene discussed is BDNF; the disease is type 2 diabetes mellitus.
