NO and Decreases in Resistance Exercise Blood Pressure with Aerobic Exercise
An exaggerated blood pressure response to resistance exercise is a marker of masked hypertension and a risk factor for future essential hypertension. Habitual aerobic exercise decreases systolic blood pressure (SBP) during resistance exercise in older individuals, but...
Vascular Aging in Women
Aging is associated with structural and functional changes in the vasculature, including endothelial dysfunction, arterial stiffening and remodeling, impaired angiogenesis, and defective vascular repair, and with increased prevalence of atherosclerosis. Cardiovascular...
NO Combined Effects on Obese Women
Obesity is a complex inflammatory disease that results from multiple environmental, biological, and behavioral factors. Characteristics of the disease often parallel with the development of metabolic syndrome, a condition that predicts cardiovascular disease risk. An...
NO Concentrations in Women with Candidiasis
Candida albicans is a dimorphic yeast that inhabits the vagina as a nonpathogenic commensal microorganism in up to 30% of women of reproductive age. Colonization with C. albicans can occur during passage of the newborn infant through the birth canal. Therefore, the...
Moderate Exercise Increases NO in Women
Vascular endothelial cells produce nitric oxide (NO), which is a potent vasodilator substance and is thought to have antiatherosclerotic properties. Therefore, it has also been proposed that NO may be useful to regulate vascular tonus and prevent progression of...
NO Influence on Muscle Power
Objective: To evaluate whether nitric oxide (NO) supplementa- tion is directly related to increased muscle power in response to strength exercise training. Methods: The study included 36 individuals who underwent training for eight weeks (three times per week) with...
NO releasing materials to treat ED
The role of nitric oxide (NO) in erectile physiology is well documented. NO activates relaxation of corporal cavernosal smooth muscle tissue resulting in increased blood flow into the penis resulting in an erection. At present, pharmacologic treatments for erectile...
Difference in NO Biosynthesis between Men and Women
There is indirect evidence for a gender difference in nitric oxide (NO) synthesis from vascular endothelium. The aim of the present study was to determine NO production more directly in healthy women and men by the measurement of 15N nitrate excreted in urine after...
