ATHLETIC ARTERIES IN A RAT MODEL

Methods Biomechanical features of gracilis arteries were examined in 12 male (M) and 12 female (F) Wistar rats after a 12-week swimming program. Male trained rats showed more pronounced vascular adaptation to exercise with increased external diameter and decreased wall thickness versus trained femal...
