Abstract

This study investigated the impact of exercise training on major pulmonary vasomotor mediators and receptors including endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) inducible NOS (iNOS), endothelin-1 (ET-1), ET-1 receptors A (ETA) and-B (ETB) in high-fat-high-carbohydrate (HFHC) induced non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). NAFLD increased iNOS, ET-1 and ETA (p < 0.05), but not ETB (p > 0.05). Exercise attenuated iNOS, ET-1 and ETA (p < 0.05)., but not ETB (p > 0.05) and eNOS (p > 0.05). Exercise training is beneficial for pulmonary vasculature in NAFLD.
