Arterial stiffness and type 2 diabetes: dietary modulation after a single meal?

Effects of Exercise Mode on Improving Cardiovascular Function and Cardiorespiratory Fitness After Bariatric Surgery

“…It is associated with a myriad of comorbidities involving numerous critical systems in the body, such as the metabolic and cardiovascular systems. Our group and others have reported microvascular endothelial dysfunction and arterial stiffens in obese individuals; these conditions are known precipitating factors for hypertension and other cardiovascular diseases 2–8 . Obesity may also affect breathing mechanics, respiratory muscle performance, and total respiratory system resistance resulting in increased energy demands of breathing and ventilatory inefficiency 9 .…”

“…Our group and others have reported microvascular endothelial dysfunction and arterial stiffens in obese individuals; these conditions are known precipitating factors for hypertension and other cardiovascular diseases. [2][3][4][5][6][7][8] Obesity may also affect breathing mechanics, respiratory muscle performance, and total respiratory system resistance resulting in increased energy demands of breathing and ventilatory inefficiency. 9 The combination of these pathological processes may contribute to the clinical manifestations observed in obese individuals, such as reduced cardiorespiratory fitness.…”
