Abstract: Background: The metabolic rate is an indicator of autonomic activity. Reduced sympathetic arousal probably resulting in hypometabolic states has been reported in several yogic studies. Aim: The main objective of this study was to assess the effect of yoga training on diurnal metabolic rates in yoga practitioners at two different times of the day (at 6 a.m. and 9 p.m.). Materials and Methods: Eighty eight healthy volunteers were selected and their metabolic rates assessed at 6 a.m. and 9 p.m. using an indirect calorimeter at a yoga school in Bangalore, India. Results and conclusions: The results show that the average metabolic rate of the yoga group was 12% lower than that of the non-yoga group (P < 0.001) measured at 9 p.m. and 16% lower at 6 a.m. (P < 0.001). The 9 p.m. metabolic rates of the yoga group were almost equal to their predicted basal metabolic rates (BMRs) whereas the metabolic rate was signifi cantly higher than the predicted BMR for the non-yoga group. The 6 a.m. metabolic rate was comparable to their predicted BMR in the non-yoga group whereas it was much lower in the yoga group (P < 0.001). The lower metabolic rates in the yoga group at 6 a.m. and 9 p.m. may be due to coping strategies for day-to-day stress, decreased sympathetic nervous system activity and probably, a stable autonomic nervous system response (to different stressors) achieved due to training in yoga.

Abstract: The great scriptures of the world are beyond the limitations of time and space: they are universal. Bhngavadgitn (BG) belongs to this category of scriptures and, as such, it is not a book merely for the Hindm\ its message has a universal application. It is as fresh today at it was when given to Arjuna many centuries ago. In fact, modern man is in need of the message ofBG if, he is to find freedom from the tensions and anxieties brought into his life by the scientific and technological developments of today.

Purnandu, Sharma (SVYASA, January 12, 2013)[more][less]
Abstract: Since patients of diabetes have less cerebrovascular reserve than healthy subjects, they are at increased risk of cerebrovascular disease. This is due to the fact that after an external demand, these patients are unable to compensate this load with an increased cerebral blood flow (CBF). In this vein, the excess of blood glucose level alters the polyol pathway activation, increases the formation of Advanced Glycation End products (AGEs), diacylglycerol activation of protein kinase C, and indeed increases glucose shunting in the hexosamine pathway, which is involved in insulin resistance. Thus, the same mechanism must occur in the brain and cause changes in the cognitive function of diabetic patients. Ten patients satisfying the inclusion criteria (including 4 males and 6 females) who had no other medical problems were recruited. The average age (± standard deviation) of patients was 55 ± 8.55 years. All the subjects were right handed and they were on antidiabetic medication given by their diabetologists. Further, the subjects had no exposure to Yoga practise and Ayurveda before (for more than one year). They all volunteered to participate in the study by signing an informed consent form. The study was approved by the institutional ethics committee. The CBF was measured with functional Near Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) - a non-invasive device which records the concentration changes of oxygenated haemoglobin (Oxy-Hb) and deoxygenated hemoglobin (Deoxy-Hb) with frontal lobe task “Tower of London”. A 4 weeks of intervention included Yoga and Ayurveda was given to Diabetes patients. Data analysis revealed significant increase in Oxy-Hb and Total blood volume in right side of frontal lobe of diabetes patients. Yoga and Ayurveda as add on intervention with modern medication brought significant change in the oxygen level of CBF in type2 DM patients and reduced economical burden by reducing the medication. It is further strongly expected to have a great reduction in the risk of cerebrovasular diseases in diabetes patients with improvement in their CBF after the Yoga and Ayurveda intervention. Key words: Yoga; Ayurveda; fNIRS; Cerebral blood flow CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION The term diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder of multiple etiologies characterized by disturbances of carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism with chronic hyperglycemia resulting from defects in insulin secretion, insulin action, or both. The diabetes mellitus include long– term damage, dysfunction and failure of various organs. Diabetes mellitus may be associated with symptoms such as thirst, polyuria, blurring of vision, and weight loss. In its most severe forms, ketoacidosis or a non–ketotic hyperosmolar state may develop and lead to stupor, coma and, in absence of effective treatment, death. Furthermore, hyperglycemia is sufficient to develop pathological and functional changes for a long time before the diagnosis is made. The long–term effects of diabetes mellitus can be progressive development of the specific complications of retinopathy with potential blindness, nephropathy, further may lead to renal failure, and neuropathy with risk of foot ulcers, amputation, Charcot joints, and features of autonomic dysfunction, including sexual dysfunction. People with diabetes are more prone to become victims of cardiovascular, peripheral vascular and cerebrovascular disease. (1) Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus are at increased risk of cerebrovascular disease. (2) They have also found to have cognitive impairment in many studies (3-5). Several pathogenesis processes are involved in the development of diabetes. These include processes which destroy the beta cells of the pancreas with consequent insulin deficiency, and others that result in resistance to insulin action. The abnormalities of carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism are due to deficient action of insulin on target tissues resulting from insensitivity or lack of insulin. (1) 1.1 Need of the study Long duration of diabetes may be associated with greater cerebral macrovascular disease, clinical cerebral infarctions, and sub-clinical infarctions that may impair cognitive function.(6) Type 2 diabetes exerts complex effects on cerebral microvasculature that may alter cerebral blood flow regulation.(7) Functional near-infrared spectroscopy fNIRS has been proposed as a promising technique for hemodynamic imaging of brain activities.(8) There are no studies that have shown the holistic effect of Ayurveda as described in traditional texts that has used the holistic module including panchakarma (shodhana), long term medication (shamana herbs) with Yoga on cerebral blood flow (CBF) in diabetes. Therefore the proposed research is intended to see the effect of Yoga and Ayurveda on cerebral blood flow changes in diabetic patients. It is hoped that this study will advance the understanding about the hemodynamic changes related cerebral blood flow in diabetic patients and hence a further understanding about the use of two ancient Indian system of medicine to improve higher brain functions in type2 diabetes patients. 1.2 Prevalence In India, as in other low and middle income countries, diabetes and other non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are relatively overshadowed by the continued burden of communicable and nutrition-related diseases. While these health threats are still present (albeit, slowly decreasing), the rise of NCDs has been rather rapid. According to the World Health Report 2005, NCDs already contribute to 52 per cent of the total mortality in India and these figures are expected to increase to 69 per cent by the year 2030. Therefore, countries like India are currently facing an epidemiologic transition with a ’double burden’ of disease. The prevalence of diabetes mellitus is growing rapidly worldwide and is reaching epidemic proportions. It is estimated that there are currently 285 million people with diabetes worldwide and this number is set to increase to 438 million by the year 2030. The major proportion of this increase will occur in developing countries of the world where the disorder predominantly affects younger adults in the economically productive age group. There is also consensus that the South Asia region will include three of the top ten countries in the world (India, Pakistan and Bangladesh) in terms of the estimated absolute numbers of people with diabetes.(9) In India the urban prevalence of diabetes in adults has risen from 5% in 1984 to 15% in 2004. Markedly lower rural levels of diabetes have been evident for decades, but more recently prevalence appears to have increased from 2% to 6% in rural areas of south India.
