Effect of Physical Training on Nitric Oxide Levels in Patients with Arterial Hypertension: An Integrative Review

Abstract The regular practice of physical exercise as a non-pharmacological treatment of arterial hypertension (AH) has been encouraged due to causing a series of physiological responses in the cardiovascular system, such as the production of vasoactive substances, including nitric oxide (NO). NO is a re...

Pharmacological characterization of the calcium influx pathways involved in nitric oxide production by endothelial cells

Einstein (Säo Paulo); 17 (3), 2019
ABSTRACT Objective: To characterize the calcium influx pathways implicated in the sustained elevation of endothelial intracellular calcium concentration, required for the synthesis and release of relaxing factors. Methods: We evaluated the effect of the newly synthesized pyrazole derivatives, described...

Effects of a Single Bout of Resistance Exercise in Different Volumes on Endothelium Adaptations in Healthy Animals

Arq. bras. cardiol; 108 (5), 2017
Abstract Background: Resistance exercise (RE) has been recommended for patients with cardiovascular diseases. Recently, a few studies have demonstrated that the intensity of a single bout of RE has an effect on endothelial adaptations to exercise. However, there is no data about the effects of different...

The effect of chronic nitric oxide inhibition on vascular reactivity and blood pressure in pregnant rats

Säo Paulo med. j; 117 (5), 1999
CONTEXT: The exact mechanism involved in changes in blood pressure and peripheral vascular resistance during pregnancy is unknown. OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the importance of endothelium-derivated relaxing factor (EDRF) and its main component, nitric oxide, in blood pressure and vascular reactivity in pregna...
