| Research Abstract |
In the present study, I examined the hypothesis that gene polymorphisms of estrogen receptor (ER) -α and -β might influence the ability of regular exercise to improve arterial stiffness in premenopausal women. The results showed that the one polymorphism in ER-β affects arterial stiffness and that one of polymorphism in ER-αand three of polymorphisms in ER-β affects regular exercise-induced reduction of arterial stiffness. These results suggest that estrogen receptor-related gene polymorphisms are candidate for determining regular exercise-related reduction of arterial stiffness in premenopausal Japanese women.
