Abstract

Aims Ageing impairs endothelial function such as the regulation of vascular tone. The release of nitric oxide (NO), which has a potent vasodilator effect and antiatherosclerotic property, is decreased in the aorta of aged rats. Exercise training, however, has been reported to increase the expression...
