Figure 5

Exercise reduced activation of RBC-NOS enzyme in SCA. (a) Total RBC-NOS levels were comparable between the tested groups and not affected by exercise. (b) RBC-NOS serine 1177 staining was also comparable between SCA individuals and healthy controls (AA) at Rest but decreased at VT 1 in SCA patients. (c) RBC-NOS serine 114 and (d) RBC-NOS threonine 495 staining did not show differences between the tested groups and were unaffected by exercise. Data are mean ± s.d. of n = 5 AA and n = 6 SCA.
