Increased Clearance of Reactive Aldehydes and Damaged Proteins in Hypertension-Induced Compensated Cardiac Hypertrophy: Impact of Exercise Training

Figure 1

Exercise training reduces blood pressure and promotes bradycardia in hypertensive rats. Study design (a). Systolic blood pressure (b) and heart rate (c) in control (normotensive), sedentary spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR), and swimming-trained SHR (SHRt) before and after 10 weeks of experimental protocol. Data are presented as mean ± SEM. versus control. versus SHR. versus before swimming training period.
