The role of oxidative stress in cardiovascular diseases

In Dr. M. Lokhandwala’s laboratory, the role of oxidative stress in cardiovascular diseases is investigated. The scientists have studied how physical activity (running on the special race track) affects markers of oxidative stress in old rats. The researchers have shown that physical activity increases the level of transcription factors which induce expression of proteins protecting from active forms of oxygen. Thus, the scientists concluded that physical activity reduces consequences of oxidative stress during aging.
