Ischemic conditioning involves reducing the blood flow to part of the body for a period of time, such as to limbs via use of a tourniquet. When carried out correctly, the right degree of restriction for the right length of time, this provokes a beneficial stress response in cells that is similar in some ways to that produced by exercise. Here, researchers show that ischemic conditioning reduces the inflammatory signaling and state of chronic inflammation that contributes to many age-related conditions, including the age-related hypertension that the is the focus on these studies.
