Supports exercise for endothelial preservation in older men; leaves open causality and need for prospective trials.
Does habitual aerobic exercise prevent age-associated vascular endothelial oxidative stress and endothelial dysfunction in older men?
Habitual aerobic exercise in older men is associated with preserved vascular endothelial function and lower oxidative stress, comparable to levels seen in young controls.
Pierce et al. (2011) studied this question.
