Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the relationship between antioxidant activity, nitrite levels, and blood pressure in middle-aged and older women, based on their training status (TS).
- A total of 155 women aged 50-84 were assessed for their TS, blood pressure, and biochemical markers through various tests.
- Results indicated that women with higher TS had lower protein oxidation and blood pressure, particularly older women, suggesting that better fitness levels are linked to reduced oxidative stress and healthier blood pressure.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of functional fitness and oxidative capacity on the nitric oxide concentration associated with hemodynamic control in older adult women. The sample consisted of 134 women (65.73 ± 6.

It is now well established that after menopause cardiometabolic disorders become more common. Recently, resistance exercise has been recommended as a complement to aerobic (combined training, CT) for the treatment of cardiometabolic diseases. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of CT in hypertensive ovariectomized rats undergoing fructose overload in blood pressure variability (BPV), inflammation, and oxidative stress parameters.

Moreover, the prevalence of hypertension and metabolic dysfunctions sharply increases after the menopause. However, the mechanisms involved in these changes are not well understood.

Methods: Spontaneously hypertensive ovariectomized rats were divided into sedentary and trained (THO) groups submitted to normal chow and sedentary and trained groups submitted to fructose overload (100 g/L in drinking water for 19 wk). Exercise training was performed on a treadmill (8 wk).
