The influence of age and cardiorespiratory fitness on circulating angiogenic T cells and CXCR4 expression.
Conference Proceeding
Ross, M. D., Malone, E. M., Simpson, R. J., & Florida-James, G. (2015)
The influence of age and cardiorespiratory fitness on circulating angiogenic T cells and CXCR4 expression
Aging is associated with endothelial dysfunction, reduced angiogenic capabilities, and an increase in arterial stiffness. Additionally, regular exercise is known to offset the...
