Reduction of arterial stiffness by exercise training is associated with increasing plasma apelin level in middle-aged and older adults.

Aging-induced deterioration of arterial stiffness is decreased by regular exercise, and increased nitric oxide (NO) production participates in this effect. Apelin regulates endothelial NO synthase in endothelial cells, promoting NO production. However, the effect of aerobic exercise training on circ...
