Low-intensity vibration

1 paper3 findings

C, W, M, H: cells, worms or flies, mice, humans. Dark: independent labs found the same change there. Light: one lab or one study. Outline: nothing yet.

Labs are independent when their papers share no last author and no institution.

Against: findings that point the other way from most findings on the same outcome.

On aging: the drug’s trials ARN judged to be about aging, of every trial that tests it for any use.

No results posted: trials that ended more than a year ago with no results on ClinicalTrials.gov and no paper in ARN’s record.

Company ties: findings with an author at a company, or from a paper whose competing-interests statement declares ties to one.

Outcomes

Weight loss

downin mice1

1 study

Low-intensity vibration decreases weight loss in mice (18% less weight loss at 12d).
“18-month-old mice pre-treated with 4w of LIV prior to infection with an Influenza A virus exhibited 18% less weight loss at 12d compared to sham-handled controls”

T-cell activation

upin mice1

1 study

Low-intensity vibration increases T-cell activation in mice (+102% CD25, +44.2% CD69).
“4w of 30 min/d of LIV applied to 18-month-old mice resulted in significant increases in T cell activation as compared to sham-handled controls (102% increase in CD25 & 44.2% increase in CD69; p < 0.05)”

Low-intensity vibration increases T cell proliferation in human cells (+59%).
“As compared to sham-handled controls, LIV increased proliferation 59% in T cells isolated from elderly patients (69.3y ± 2.6)”
