Obesity is a global pandemic associated with macro-and microvascular endothelial
dysfunction. Microvascular endothelial dysfunction has recently emerged as a significant risk …

As our world's population ages, cardiovascular diseases (CVD) will become an increasingly
urgent public health problem. A key antecedent to clinical CVD and many other chronic …

Objective: Postmenopausal women exhibit elevated brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity
(baPWV), an indicator of arterial stiffness, which is associated with an increased risk of …

The circulatory level of pentraxin 3 (PTX3), an anti-inflammatory cardioprotective protein,
has been shown to be lower in obese individuals than in those with normal weight …

This study aimed to clarify whether muscle-derived irisin secretion induced by aerobic
exercise training is involved in reduction of arterial stiffness via arterial nitric oxide (NO) …

Background We conducted this systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the
association between essential hypertension (EH) and bone mineral density (BMD). Results …

Background Arterial stiffness is one of the earliest indicators of changes in vascular wall
structure and function and may be assessed using various indicators, such as pulse-wave …

Biological sex plays a major role in cardiovascular physiology and pathological …

Background Development of instruments capable of detecting early stage vascular disease
has increased interest in employing arterial stiffness (eg pulse wave velocity (PWV) …

OBJECTIVE: High-intensity interval training (HIIT) has been linked to a lower risk of
