Vascular Ageing and Exercise: Focus on Cellular Reparative Processes (2016)
Journal Article
Ross, M. D., Malone, E., & Florida-James, G. (2016). Vascular Ageing and Exercise: Focus on Cellular Reparative Processes. Oxidative Medicine and Cellular Longevity, 2016, 1-15. https://doi.org/10.1155/2016/3583956

Ageing is associated with an increased risk of developing noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease (CVD). The increased risk can be attributable to increased prolonged exposure to oxidative stress. Often, CVD is pr... Read More about Vascular Ageing and Exercise: Focus on Cellular Reparative Processes.

A 10 km time trial running bout acutely increases the number of angiogenic T cells in the peripheral blood compartment of healthy males: Acute exercise mobilizes angiogenic T cells (2016)
Journal Article
Ross, M., Tormey, P., Ingram, L., Simpson, R., Malone, E., & Florida-James, G. (2016). A 10 km time trial running bout acutely increases the number of angiogenic T cells in the peripheral blood compartment of healthy males: Acute exercise mobilizes angio

New Findings What is the central question of the study? Are CD31+ angiogenic T (TANG) cells preferentially mobilized in response to acute exercise? What is the main finding and its importance? Our study reveals that TANG cells are redistributed i...

High Cardiorespiratory Fitness Alleviates the Negative Impact of Increasing Sitting Time on CD31+ T-Cell Number (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Ross, M. D., Malone, E., Simpson, R., & Florida-James, G. (2016, May). High Cardiorespiratory Fitness Alleviates the Negative Impact of Increasing Sitting Time on CD31+ T-Cell Number. Poster presented at American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) Annual C

Aging is associated with endothelial dysfunction, reduced angiogenic capabilities, and an increase in arterial stiffness. Regular exercise is known to offset the age-related decline in blood vessel number and function; however the mechanisms are not...

The Influence of Age, Cardiorespiratory Fitness, Exercise and Sedentary Behaviours on Circulating Angiogenic Cells and Cell Surface Receptor Expression (2016)
Thesis
Ross, M. D. (2016). The Influence of Age, Cardiorespiratory Fitness, Exercise and Sedentary Behaviours on Circulating Angiogenic Cells and Cell Surface Receptor Expression. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/Outp

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the biggest killer of people in western civilisation. Age is a significant risk factor for the development for CVD, and treatments and therapies to address this increased risk are crucial to quality of life and longevi...

Influence of a low-carbohydrate diet on endothelial microvesicles in overweight women (2016)
Journal Article
Wekesa, A. L., Doyle, L. M., Fitzmaurice, D., O’Donovan, O., Phelan, J. P., Ross, M. D., …Harrison, M. (2016). Influence of a low-carbohydrate diet on endothelial microvesicles in overweight women. Applied Physiology, Nutrition, and Metabolism, 41(5),

Low-carbohydrate diets (LCD) are increasing in popularity, but their effect on vascular health has been questioned. Endothelial microvesicles (EMV) are membrane-derived vesicles with the potential to act as a sensitive prognostic biomarker of vascul...
