... capacity and contributes to adverse outcome. Exercise training can moderate sympathetic excess at rest. Recording sympathetic nerve firing during exercise is more challenging. Hence, data acquired during exercise are scant and results vary according to exercise modality. In this review we will: (1...

..., in part, to overactivation of the RAS. On the other hand, exercise training (ExT) shifts the balance of the RAS towards the protective arm, promoting the inhibition of the classical arm in parallel with the stimulation of the protective arm. Thus, fat mobilization and maintenance of muscle mass...

...Dick H. J. Thijssen; N. Timothy Cable; Daniel J. Green Thickening of the carotid artery wall has been adopted as a surrogate marker of pre-clinical atherosclerosis, which is strongly related to increased cardiovascular risk. The cardioprotective effects of exercise training, including direct...

... of adiponectin in CHF patients has not been assessed to date. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of exercise training on adiponectin levels in CHF patients. A total of 80 patients with CHF due to systolic dysfunction were included. The effect of 4 months exercise training was studied...

... was to investigate the effects of arm-crank exercise training on lower-limb O 2 delivery in patients with intermittent claudication. A total of 57 patients with intermittent claudication (age, 70±8 years; mean±S.D.) were randomized to an arm-crank exercise group or a non-exercise control group. The exercise group...

... finding of endothelial dysfunction in CHF. Given data that show exercise training augments endothelial function in CHF, the aim of the present study was to investigate whether these improvements were due to an increase in L -arginine transport. Measures of L -arginine transport, endothelial function...

...Thomas H. Marwick Inactivity is associated with endothelial dysfunction and the development of cardiovascular disease. Exercise training has a favourable effect in the management of hypertension, heart failure and ischaemic heart disease. These beneficial effects are probably mediated through...

... produced by vascular endothelial cells. Because ET-1 has a potent vasoconstrictor effect on vessels, it may be involved in the regulation of vascular tonus. We hypothesized that aging causes a decrease in ET-1 expression in aorta, and that exercise training improves the aging-induced decrease in ET-1...
