Introduction: Physical activity has been universally recommended for cardiovascular disease prevention. However, the effects of intensive physical activity on cardiovascular protection are less reported. Objectives : To examine biochemical, nutritional, and ergo-respiratory parameters, and, particularly, to quantify the percentage of circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPC) and amount of endothelial (EMP) and platelet (PMP) microparticles among professional runners. These parameters were compared with healthy non-athlete controls. Methods: Case control study includes professional runners and age and gender matched controls. Circulating EPC, EMP and PMP were quantified by flow-cytometry using specific antibodies. Lean and fat corporal ...
