Endothelial Function Increases after a 16-Week Diet and Exercise Intervention in Overweight and Obese Young Women

Abstract: Weight loss improves endothelial function in overweight individuals. The effects of weight loss through combined aerobic and resistance training and caloric restriction on in vivo vascular measures and blood markers associated with the regulation of endothelial function have not been comprehensively examined. Therefore, we investigated brachial artery endothelial function and potential regulatory blood markers in twenty overweight women (30.3 ± 2.0 years) who participated in 16 weeks of aerobic (5 d/wk) and re… Show more

“…Although this was an unexpected finding, it is consistent with observations from other exercise studies. 13,44 In addition, vasodilator responses to NTG after SWL were unaltered after CRT, suggesting that any changes in FMD were not related to changes in the vessels' sensitivity to NO. Resistance training may enhance conduit artery EF independently through direct mechanical effects of recurrent wall shear stress on NO production.…”

“…38,[40][41][42] Repetitive increases in flow during habitual exercise training have been shown to improve FMD, which is indicative of enhanced NO-mediated EF. 24,43,44 There is a plethora of research demonstrating that aerobic training enhances EF in overweight and obese adults, 45,46 but few studies have investigated the specific effects of resistance training. For this study, we implemented an exercise intervention by way of CRT using progressive overload and showed that vascular protection after acute resistance exercise is afforded after 8 weeks of training.…”

“…Similarly, Mavri et al (15) found that weight reduction by low-calorie diet in obese adults might contribute to the improvement in endothelial function, as noted by a decrease in endothelin-1. Lastly, Cotie et al (16) reported that endothelial function increases after a 16-week diet and exercise intervention in overweight and obese women.…”

“…The main finding of the present study was that weightreducing program ameliorated inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6 and CRP) and markers of endothelial function (ICAM-1 VCAM-1 and tPA) in obese postmenopausal women as a result of weight loss, these results are in line with many previous studies. Cotie and colleagues demonstrated that, sixteen weeks of a combined training by aerobic and resistance exercises in addition to diet resulted in improved interleukin-6 (IL-6) and endothelial function in overweight and obese young women because of weight loss 20 .…”
