Flow‐mediated vasodilatation (FMD) of the brachial artery is used as a measure to quantify
endothelial dysfunction. However, FMD after occlusion only is small in healthy people over …

Flow-mediated dilatation (FMD) of the brachial artery assessed by high-resolution
ultrasound is widely used to measure endothelial function. However, the technique is not …

OBJECTIVE To examine the effect of handgrip exercise induced ischaemia on non-invasive
assessment of endothelial function in the brachial artery. DESIGN AND SETTING High …

Assessment of flow-mediated dilation (FMD) after forearm ischemia is widely used as a
noninvasive bioassay of stimulated nitric oxide (NO)-mediated conduit artery vasodilator …

In the peripheral circulation, nitric oxide (NO) is released in response to shear stress across
vascular endothelial cells. We sought to assess the degree to which NO contributes to …

Purpose Previous studies that have examined the impact of exercise intensity on conduit
artery endothelial function have involved large muscle group exercise which induces local …

The reduction in nitric oxide (NO)-mediated vascular function with age has largely been
determined by flow-mediated dilation (FMD). However, in light of recent uncertainty …

Exercise elevates shear stress in the supplying conduit artery. Although this is the most
relevant physiological stimulus for flow-mediated dilation (FMD), the fluctuating pattern of …

In older healthy men, aerobic exercise capacity is related to postischemic flow-mediated
dilation of the brachial artery (FMD), but corresponding data in a younger population is not …

Purpose: High-intensity resistance exercise two or three times a week has been considered
optimal for muscle hypertrophy, although it can remarkably elevate blood pressure (BP). In …
