To evaluate the acute effect of lovastatin on diabetic endothelial dysfunction, we examined this effect on the aortic rings of streptozotocin-diabetic rats. The endothelial function was assessed in aortic rings isolated from diabetic rats, 12 weeks after treatment with streptozotocin (45 mg/kg, i.p.). The concentration-response curve to acetylcholine (Ach) in the aortic rings precontracted with...

We found that resistance and endurance exercise modalities lead to different endothelial function responses after a single bout of exercise. Endothelial increased an acute exercise, whereas it decreased Four weeks chronic training did not affect the response.
