14. Effect of Physical Training on Nitric Oxide Levels in Patients with Arterial Hypertension: An Integrative Review
Abstract The regular practice of physical exercise as a non-pharmacological treatment of arterial hypertension (AH) has been encouraged due to causing a series of physiological responses in the cardiovascular system, such as the production of vasoactive substances, including nitric oxide (NO). NO is a relaxation factor released by the endothelium, and the de
