Regular endurance exercise induces expansive arterial remodelling in the trained limbs of healthy men
Open accessAbstract
1. In experimental animals chronic elevations in arterial blood flow increase the lumen diameter and reduce the intima-media thickness (IMT) of the arterial segment involved. We determined whether intermittent elevations in active muscle blood flow associated with regular aerobic leg exercise induced such expansive arterial remodelling in the common femoral artery of humans. 2. In the cross-sectional study 53 sedentary (47 +/- 2 years) and 55 endurance exercise-trained (47 +/- 2 years) men were studied. Common femoral artery lumen diameter (B-mode ultrasound) was 7 % greater (9.62 +/- 0.12 vs. 9.03 +/- 0.13 mm), and femoral IMT (0.46 +/- 0.02 vs. 0.55 +/- 0.02 mm) and IMT/lumen ratio were 16-21 % smaller in the endurance-trained men (all P < 0.001). Basal femoral artery blood flow (duplex ultrasound) was not different, shear stress tended to be lower (P = 0.08), and mean femoral tangential wall stress was 30 % higher in the endurance-trained men (P < 0.001). 3. In the intervention study 22 men (51 +/- 2 years) were studied before and after 3 months of regular aerobic leg exercise (primarily walking). After training, the femoral diameter increased by 9 % (8.82 +/- 0.18 vs. 9.60 +/- 0.20 mm), and IMT (0.65 +/- 0.05 vs. 0.56 +/- 0.05 mm) and the IMT/lumen ratio were approximately 15-20 % smaller (all P < 0.001). Basal femoral blood flow and shear stress were not different after training, whereas the mean femoral tangential wall stress increased by 31 %. The changes in arterial structure were not related to changes in risk factors for atherosclerosis. 4. Our results are consistent with the concept that regular aerobic leg exercise induces expansive arterial remodelling in the femoral artery of healthy men. This adaptive process is produced by even a moderate training stimulus, is not obviously dependent on corresponding improvements in risk factors for atherosclerosis, and is robust, occurring in healthy men of different ages.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
