Postprandial lipaemia and endothelial adhesion molecules in pre- and postmenopausal Spanish women.

Investigation of the Changes in Serum Intercellular and Vascular Adhesion Molecules (ICAM-1 and VCAM-1) and Nitric Oxide Levels in Response to Exercise Training and L-arginine Supplementation in Postmenopausal Hypertensive Women

اثر یک دوره تمرین هوازی بر شاخص‌های عملکرد اندوتلیالی زنان یائسه مبتلا به پرفشار خونی

    Background & Aims : Aging and the loss of endogenous estrogen production after menopause are accompanied by increases in blood pressure and endothelial dysfunction. Exercise training improves endothelial function in patients with hypertension. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of aerobic training on some markers of endothelial function in hypertensive postmenopausal women.   M...

Postprandial inflammation and endothelial dysfuction.

Postprandial hyperlipidaemia is a common metabolic disturbance in atherosclerosis. During the postprandial phase, chylomicrons and their remnants can penetrate the intact endothelium and cause foam cell formation. These particles are highly atherogenic after modification. People in the Western world are non-fasting for most of the day, which consequently leads to a continuous challenge of the e...

Sodium bicarbonated mineral water decreases postprandial lipaemia in postmenopausal women compared to a low mineral water.

The role of bicarbonated mineral waters on lipid metabolism and lipoprotein concentrations in man has scarcely been investigated. The present study aimed to investigate whether drinking sodium bicarbonated mineral water affects postprandial cholesterol and triacylglycerol metabolism in postmenopausal women. In a three-way, randomised, crossover study, eighteen healthy postmenopausal women consu...

Weight loss improves biomarkers endothelial function and systemic inflammation in obese postmenopausal Saudi women.

BACKGROUND Although postmenopausal associated disorders are important public health problems worldwide, to date limited studies evaluated the endothelial function and systemic inflammation response to weight loss in obese postmenopausal women. OBJECTIVE This study was done to evaluate the endothelial function and systemic inflammation response to weight loss in obese postmenopausal Saudi wome...
