Exercise activates redox-sensitive transcription factors and restores renal d1 receptor function in old rats

Summary: "this study suggests beneficial effects of exercise in terms of increasing antioxidant defenses, decreasing oxidative stress, and improving kidney function in general and D1R function in particular in aging. Both Nrf-2 and NF-kappaB seem to play key role in this phenomenon."
