Abstract:IntroductionStatins and exercise training (ET) improve endothelial function. The mechanisms by which statins in combination with ET alter vascular function are largely unknown. We investigated how statins influence the effects of ET on vascular function in obese rats.MethodsEight‐week‐old male Wistar rats (n = 46) received a high‐fat diet for 20 weeks. The rats were randomized after into four groups after eight weeks: sedentary (SED; n =11), exercise (EX; n=11), statin (STAT; n=13) and exercise with statin (EX… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
