Introduction - Acute resistance exercise (RE) seems to have important effects on release of vasoactive substances and on endothelium-dependent control of vascular tone. Objectives The aims of our study were to the acute effects of an isolated RE on blood pressure (BP), heart rate (HR), forearm blood flow (FBF), vascular conductance (VC), endothelial and inflammatory responses of overweight/obese (Ow/Ob) young women. Materials and Methods The volunteers were assigned in two groups: controls (n=16) and Ow/Ob (n=16). Both groups performed five sets of 10 repetitions with 70% of 1-RM in the unilateral elbow flexion exercise. BP, HR and FBF (determined by venous occlusion plethysmography) were evaluated at rest and along one hour after resistance exercise. Adipocytokines and endothelin-1 (ET-1) were evaluated at rest in both groups and after RE only in the Ow/Ob. Results - The Ow/Ob group presented significant higher body weight and BMI than controls. Of interest, the former group had significant lower waist-to-hip ratio (p<0.05). The significant differences between groups on diastolic and mean BP before resistance exercise (at resting) were observed immediately after and at 20 minutes post-exercise (p<0.05). Differences as a resultant of exercise in each group separately were noted and expressed as significant reduction in diastolic BP immediately post-exercise in both groups (p<0.01). Mean BP reduced immediately post-exercise only in controls (p<0.05). Significant higher basal FBF not only at resting (p<0.05) but also at 20 (p<0.01) and 40 minutes post-exercise (p<0.01) were evident in Ow/Ob group. Although basal FBF was different between groups at resting, basal VC was not. Of note, VC at 20 (p<0.01) and 40 minutes (p<0.01) post-exercise was higher in the Ow/Ob group compared to controls. At resting and immediately post-exercise, no differences between controls and Ow/Ob were observed in endothelial-dependent vasodilatation. We should emphasize that surprisingly Ow/Ob at 30 minutes post-exercise had higher responses than controls on the referred variable (p<0.05). Endothelial-independent vasodilatation at rest was lower in control compared to Ow/Ob group (p<0.05); however no additional significant difference between these groups was noticed at 50 minutes post-exercise. As expected, adiponectin was lower (p<0.01) while IL-6 and leptin levels were higher in Ow/Ob (p<0.001). Of note, we should highlight that during post-exercise period, significant reductions in IL-6 (p<0.05) and leptin (p<0.01) were observed, while ET-1 increased (p<0.05). Conclusions In conclusion, acute resistance exercise improved BF, VC, endothelial-dependent vasodilatation, inflammatory profile and ET-1 of healthy Ow/Ob women.
