Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Healthy but sedentary aging leads to increased morbidity and mortality of cardiovascular disease. This is partly due to the accumulation of Advanced Glycation Endproducts (AGEs) and the stiffening of the myocardium and arteries. New medication has been developed to break these AGE-crosslinks to improve cardiovascular compliance. The positive influence of regular physical activity is well known for cardiovascular disease and aging. Therefore, what is the most effective intervention, physical exercise and/or new medication AGE-crosslink breakers, in improving the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular compliance and improving the endothelial function in healthy sedentary elderly.

Study Groups

Alagebrium

In this study there will be four different groups:

One Alagebrium 100 mg twice daily and exercise training 3x/week Two Placebo twice daily and exercise training 3x/week Three Alagebrium 100 mg twice daily and no exercise training Four Placebo twice daily and no exercise training

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

Alt-711

Intervention Type DRUG

Alt-711, also known as Alagebrium, an AGE-crosslink breaker, will be given twice daily 100mg

Physical exercise training

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Exercise training will be given three times a week for 45 minutes per training session. The heart rate reserve will be slowly increased from 70% to 85%.
