Florida Atlantic University researchers, in collaboration with the University of León in Spain, examined whether an eight-week resistance training program would modulate the oxidative status, the UPR activation, and key inflammatory pathways in older adults.
Aging involves a balance between oxidants and antioxidants, low-grade inflammation, and a protein response that occurs at the cellular level, which is responsible for many health disorders.
Exercise has been shown to regulate the inflammatory response, balance oxidants such as free radicals that build up in the cells and damage DOI: 10.3390/antiox11112242
