EdLab Podcast: Menopause and Cardiovascular Health with Jason Allen
By understanding more about nitric oxide, is there a way to enhance the cardiovascular benefits postmenopausal females get from exercise?
“If you take that step back and look at it on a societal level, 50% of the population is female, and hopefully females spend half of their life post-menopausal, so it can have a massive impact.JAJason Allen
Jason Allen, a vascular and exercise physiologist and a professor in the department of kinesiology, has studied nitric oxide for decades. Recently, he and his team of graduate students have turned their attention to understanding how exercise and nitric oxide can support women’s cardiovascular health after menopause.
In this episode of EdLab, Allen explains what we know about women’s cardiovascular health and menopause and why far more research is needed to fill in the gaps of what we don’t know. You can listen to the conversation wherever you listen to your favorite podcast, including Apple, Amazon, or Spotify.
