Researchers have found how disturbances in the patterns of blood flow may lead to epigenetic changes in the genes of cells that line the blood vessels and may cause atherosclerosis. The findings suggest why the protective effects of good blood flow patterns, which aerobic exercise promotes, can persist over time. An epigenetic change to DNA is a chemical modification that alters whether nearby genes are likely to be turned on or off, but not the letter-by-letter sequence itself. ...
