The purpose of this study was to document the temporal changes in vascular reactivity occurring
simultaneously in central, peripheral and microvascular resistance arteries in the same …

Background— Mechanisms responsible for anti-ischemic benefits of enhanced external
counterpulsation (EECP) remain unknown. This was the first randomized sham-controlled study …

The safety and efficacy of resistance exercise training (RT) in patients with chronic heart
failure (CHF) are critically reviewed. Evidence-based recommendations for designing safe RT …

BACKGROUND Large artery stiffness is a major risk factor for the development of hypertension
and cardiovascular disease. Persistent prehypertension accelerates the progression of …

Endurance exercise is efficacious in reducing arterial stiffness. However, the effect of resistance
training (RT) on arterial stiffening is controversial. High-intensity, high-volume RT has …

Exercise training improves endothelial function in young prehypertensives - Darren T Beck,
Darren P Casey, Jeffrey S Martin, Blaze D Emerson, Randy … Darren P Casey Darren T Beck …

We sought to identify biomarkers which delineated individual hypertrophic responses to
resistance training. Untrained, college-aged males engaged in full-body resistance training (3 d/…

Testosterone acts directly at androgen receptors and also exerts potent actions following 5α-reduction
to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Finasteride (type II 5α-reductase inhibitor) lowers …

Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and early Alzheimer’s disease (AD) are characterized by
blood–brain barrier (BBB) breakdown leading to abnormal BBB permeability ahead of brain …

Prehypertension is associated with reduced conduit artery endothelial function and perturbation
of oxidant/antioxidant status. It is unknown whether endothelial dysfunction persists to …
