About This Trial
The purpose of this study is to determine 1) if young adults with metabolic syndrome display endothelial dysfunction of the internal carotid artery in a sex-specific fashion and 2) if this endothelial dysfunction can be acutely improved with a single bout of exercise. This will be achieved by testing internal carotid artery function before and after a 30-minute bout of moderate intensity exercise.…
