Does short-term exercise training enhance endothelium-dependent relaxation of femoral and brachial arteries in miniature swine?
Short-term exercise training in swine enhances endothelium-dependent relaxation in brachial arteries and augments vasocontraction to norepinephrine in both femoral and brachial arteries.
McAllister et al. (1997) studied this question.
