  Introduction: Blood pressure (BP) is one of the most significant manifestations of aging and vascular disease. Oxidative stress is thought to be involved in the development of vascular dysfunction, however, the effect on baseline and changes in peripheral BP is unknown. We investigated whether baseline and changes in the oxidative stress marker, malondialdehyde-modified low density lipoprotein (MDA-LDL) are associated with baseline and change in BP, by a 12-week exercise among Japanese community-dwelling persons. Methods: The subjects comprised 10 men and 76 women aged 70 ± 7 (range, 61-82) and 67 ± 7 (range, 53-81) years, respectively. Before and at the end of the 12-week training program, metabolic variables including MDA-LDL, and systolic BP (SBP) anddiastolic BP (DBP) were obtained. Results: Gende.. View More»
