The expression of the endothelial nitric oxide (eNOS) protein in the thoracic aorta. The rat groups were the control (Con) with ovariectomy (OVX) plus vitamin D3 and nicotine (VDN) and no exercise; climbing (Clim) resistance group with OVX plus VDN; and forced swimming (Swim) exercise group (1 h/day, 6 times/week). The VDN was administered a week after OVX. The exercises started a week after VDN administration. The exercise period was 8 weeks. * p < 0.05 vs. the Con. Values are expressed as the mean ± SE.
