Summary

This study looks at how exercise improves blood vessel function in people with obesity. Researchers will measure oxidative stress and blood flow in the muscle before and after an 8-week interval training program. The goal is to understand the role of a specific enzyme (NADPH oxidase) in causing blood vessel problems. 25 sedentary obese adults with metabolic syndrome will participate.
