Suggests segment-specific endothelial adaptations to exercise in swine; leaves open translation to human coronary disease.
Does short-term exercise training improve endothelium-dependent dilation in coronary arteries and arterioles in a swine model?
Short-term exercise training enhances endothelium-dependent dilation in coronary conduit arteries but not arterioles in a swine model, independent of changes in eNOS or SOD-1 expression.
Laughlin et al. (2003) studied this question.
