Dr. Shumpei Fujie is an Assistant Professor in Faculty of Sports and Health Science of Ritsumeikan University, and his research manuscript was accepted and published in Applied Physiology, Nutrition, and Metabolism, which collaborated with Professor Motoyuki Iemitsu, Assistant Professor Natsuki Hasegawa, Assistant Professor in Ritsumeikan-Global Innovation Research Organization Masataka Uchida, Graduate students Naoki Horii (graduated Sport and Health Science in March 2021) and Kenichiro Inoue.

The study revealed that 12-week combination of Chlorella intake and aerobic exercise training had more pronounced effects on the improvement of endothelial vasorelaxation via an additive increase in arterial Akt/eNOS/NO signaling in aged mice.
