Exercise boosted a key signaling protein in blood vessels by 37% in obese mice, which helps improve blood flow.

Appropriate Language Strength

association

Can only show association/correlation

Assessment Explanation

The study design is a randomized intervention in mice, but GRADE analysis indicates causation cannot be established for human application, so 'associated with' is appropriate.
