About this study

Exaggerated blood pressure responses to exercise in individuals with Type 2 Diabetes significantly increase the risk of heart attack, stroke, and cardiovascular death, while also limiting exercise capacity and therapeutic benefits of physical activity. This research will determine whether impaired blood vessel function and excessive cellular damage from oxygen-containing molecules cause these dangerous blood pressure responses during exercise. The findings will establish whether targeting cellular antioxidant systems represents a new therapeutic approach to improve exercise tolerance and reduce cardiovascular risk in t Americans living with diabetes.

Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
