Effects of Different Exercise Loads on the Myocardial Expression of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) in Rats / 中国运动医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the effects of different exercise loads on the myocardial expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in rats. Methods 54 male SD rats were randomly divided into control group(C), moderate-load training group(MT), high-load training group(HT). Both MT and HT group were subdivided into three groupsswimming training for 1 week(n=6),3 weeks (n=6)and 5 weeks(n=6). The general conditions during the training were observed. The expression of VEGF and histological changes were investigated. Results The results showed that the expression of VEGF in MT group increased (P
