Effects of exercise training on renal interstitial fibrosis and renin–angiotensin system in rats with chronic renal failure

Conclusion: These results indicated that exercise training attenuates the progression of glomerular sclerosis and renal interstitial fibrosis in chronic renal failure rats. The renal protective effects of exercise training may be mediated by ameliorating the renal collagen turnover and the exacerbation of renal RAS.
