Curcumin ingestion and exercise training improve vascular endothelial function in postmenopausal women.

اثر یک دوره تمرین هوازی بر شاخص‌های عملکرد اندوتلیالی زنان یائسه مبتلا به پرفشار خونی

    Background & Aims : Aging and the loss of endogenous estrogen production after menopause are accompanied by increases in blood pressure and endothelial dysfunction. Exercise training improves endothelial function in patients with hypertension. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of aerobic training on some markers of endothelial function in hypertensive postmenopausal women.   M...

Effect of endurance exercise training and curcumin intake on central arterial hemodynamics in postmenopausal women: pilot study.

BACKGROUND Lifestyle modification (i.e., regular physical activity and diet) is effective in preventing the age-related increase in cardiovascular disease risks. Potential therapeutic effects of curcumin (diferuloylmethane) have been confirmed on various diseases, including cancer and Alzheimer's disease, but the effects of curcumin have not been tested on central arterial hemodynamics. The aim...

Investigation of the Changes in Serum Intercellular and Vascular Adhesion Molecules (ICAM-1 and VCAM-1) and Nitric Oxide Levels in Response to Exercise Training and L-arginine Supplementation in Postmenopausal Hypertensive Women

Early Postmenopausal Phase Is Associated With Reduced Prostacyclin-Induced Vasodilation That Is Reversed by Exercise Training

The postmenopausal phase is associated with an accelerated rate of rise in the prevalence of endothelial dysfunction and hypertension and the incidence of cardiovascular disease is also higher in postmenopausal than in premenopausal women of similar age. Although much is known about the beneficial effects of estrogen on vascular function, the mechanisms by which changes in the hormonal environm...

Leg vascular and skeletal muscle mitochondrial adaptations to aerobic high-intensity exercise training are enhanced in the early postmenopausal phase.

KEY POINTS Exercise training effectively improves vascular and skeletal muscle function; however, these effects of training may be blunted in postmenopausal women as a result of the loss of oestrogens. Accordingly, the capacity to deliver oxygen to the active muscles may also be impaired in postmenopausal women. In both premenopausal and recent postmenopausal women, exercise training was shown ...
