| Research Abstract |
We determined the changes of thigh muscle strength, glucose tolerance, renal Na+ retention ability, plasma albumin content, plasma volume, and thermoregulatory capacity after 5-month interval walking training using 15 middle-aged and older women. We found that the thigh muscle strength, plasma albumin content, plasma volume, and thermoregulatory capacity increased after training. We will analyze the results in relation with the change of methylation of ASC gene in the white blood cells.
