Table 1 Vascular effects of hypertension and exercise training in macro- and microcirculation
Hypertension | Exercise training | Ref. |
Hypertrophy of VSMC | Decreased intima-media thickness | [49,52,55-57] |
Excessive proliferation of VSMC | Improved orientation of VSMC | [49,53] |
Increased collagen content | Decreased mRNA collagen expression | [49,51,58] |
Decreased availability endothelial NO | Increased endothelial NO production | [49,51,55] |
Increased endothelium-dependent contract factors | Increased endothelium-dependent relaxation | [59,75] |
Increased ROS production | Increased antioxidant capacity | [49,50,59,62-66] |
Increased overall peripheral resistance | Reduced vascular resistance | [24, 49,50] |
Rarefaction of arterioles and capillaries | Increased peripheral revascularization | [7,49,50,61,79] |
