DOI: 10.1152/physiol.2023.38.s1.5728273
Abstract: The arterial vasculature undergoes profound changes across the lifespan. This vascular aging manifests as structural (e.g., vascular rarefaction) and functional (e.g., endothelial dysfunction) maladaptations. These age-related maladaptations contribute to the hypo-perfusion of skeletal muscle during… read more here.
