Exercise training protects the renal circulation against high glucose challenge
It has been shown previously that high glucose causes direct and acute endothelial dysfunction in non‐diabetic isolated rabbit kidney. This study assessed whether exercise training is able to maintain normal renal vascular endothelial function despite high glucose exposure. Animals were pen confined...

Summary: | It has been shown previously that high glucose causes direct and acute endothelial dysfunction in non‐diabetic isolated rabbit kidney. This study assessed whether exercise training is able to maintain normal renal vascular endothelial function despite high glucose exposure. Animals were pen confined (SED) or treadmill trained over a 12‐week period (ExT). Kidneys isolated from SED and ExT rabbits were continuously perfused ex vivo during 3 h with Krebs–Henseleit solutions containing normal (5.5 mm) or high (15 mm) concentrations of d‐glucose. In the SED 5.5 group, acetylcholine (ACh) induced dose‐related vasodilator responses, reaching the maximum of 41 ± 2% (n = 10; P |
