Moderate exercise promotes human RBC-NOS activity, NO production and deformability through Akt kinase pathway.

BACKGROUND: Nitric oxide (NO) produced by nitric oxide synthase (NOS) in human red blood cells (RBCs) was shown to depend on shear stress and to exhibit important biological functions, such as inhibition of platelet activation. In the present study we hypothesized that exercise-induced shear stress...
