DESIGN Prospective cross-sectional study. SETTING Academic medical center the Midwest. PARTICIPANTS Ten and 10 eumenorrheic women runners from community volunteered for INTERVENTIONS Each participant treated with (10 mg/d) 4 weeks. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Brachial FMD measured before after standard techniques. RESULTS brachial response reactive hyperemia improved (3.0% +/- 2.3% vs. 7.7% 4.5%; P = 0.02). In control group, there no change (6.7% 2.0% 5.9% 2.6%; 0.52). CONCLUSIONS This demonstrates that FMD, an indicator function, female short-term acid.
