ABSTRACT
The metabolic syndrome (MetS) is associated with a 3-fold increase risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality partly due to increased arterial stiffening. We compared the effects of aerobic exercise training on arterial stiffening/mechanics in MetS without overt CVD or Type 2 Diabetes. MetS and healthy controls (Con) underwent 8 weeks of exercise training (ExT; 11 MetS and 11 Con) or remained inactive (NonT; 11 MetS and 10 Con). The following measures were performed pre and post intervention: radial pulse wave analysis (applanation tonometry) was used to measure augmentation pressure and index, central pressures, and an estimate of myocardial efficiency; arterial stiffness was assessed from carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV, applanation tonometry); carotid thickness was assessed from B-mode ultrasound; and peak aerobic capacity (gas exchange) was performed in the seated position. Plasma matrix metalloproteinases (MMP), and CVD risk (Framingham risk score) were also assessed. cfPWV was reduced (p<0.05) in MetS-ExT (7.9+0.6 to 7.2+0.4 m/s) and Con-ExT (6.6+1.8 to 5.6+1.6 m/s). Exercise training reduced (p<0.05) central systolic pressure (116+5 to 110+4, mmHg), augmentation pressure (9+1 to 7+1, mmHg), augmentation index (19+3 to 15+4%), and improved myocardial efficiency (155+8 to 168+9) but only in the MetS group. Aerobic capacity increased (p<0.05) in MetS-ExT (16.6±1.0 to 19.9±1.0) and Con-ExT (23.8±1.6 to 26.3±1.6). MMP-1 and 7 were correlated with cfPWV and both MMP-1 and 7 were reduced post-exercise training in MetS. These findings suggest that some of the pathophysiological changes associated with MetS can be improved after aerobic exercise training thereby lowering their CV risk.
