Leggate, M., Florida-James, G., Ross, M., Jurevicius, M., Duncan, G., & Lithgow, H. (2019, December). The effects of age and acute aerobic and resistance exercise on circulating T lymphocyte vitamin D receptor (VDR) expression in healthy males. Presented at Future Physiology, Liverpool, UK

A low vitamin D status has been identified as an association risk factor in the etiology of numerous chronic diseases, with older adults identified as generally more deficient than younger populations. Exercise has been shown to act as a direct and i...

Blood flow restriction exercise attenuates the exercise-induced endothelial progenitor cells in healthy, young men. (2019)
Journal Article
Montgomery, R., Paterson, A., Williamson, C., Florida-James, G., & Ross, M. D. (2019). Blood flow restriction exercise attenuates the exercise-induced endothelial progenitor cells in healthy, young men. Frontiers in Physiology, https://doi.org/10.3389/fphys.2019.00447

Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) are a vasculogenic subset of progenitors, which play a key role in maintenance of endothelial integrity. These cells are exercise-responsive, and thus exercise may play a key role in vascular repair and maintenance...
