Brachial Artery Flow-mediated Dilation Following Exercise with Augmented Oscillatory and Retrograde Shear Rate
Cardiovascular Ultrasound, 08/17/2012
Johnson BD et al. – The results indicate that augmented oscillatory and retrograde shear rate (SR) in non–working limbs during lower body exercise attenuates post–exercise flow–mediated dilation (FMD) without an evident dose––response in the range of cuff pressures evaluated. Vitamin C supplementation prevented the attenuation of FMD following exercise with augmented oscillatory and retrograde SR suggesting that oxidative stress contributes to the adverse effects of oscillatory and retrograde shear during exercise on FMD.
