A method is described for continuous measurement of total renal blood flow in anesthetized rats and rabbits. It consists of recording time intervals in which a fixed volume of renal vein outflow enters into an extracorporeal renin vein - jugular vein shunt and is pumped back to animals' circulation. This technique yields absolute flow values of unequalled accuracy and requires virtually no calibration; however, it is not suitable for recording rapid flow transients. The RBF measured averaged 5.5 +/- (SE) 0.1 ml/min.g kidney weight in rats and 2.5 +/- 1.1 ml/min.g in rabbits; the flow was stable over at least 1.5-2 hrs. The rat kidneys tested showed usual capacity to autoregulate blood flow during graded reduction in renal perfusion pressure. 相似文献

Studies were performed to determine the mechanism by which the antihypertensive agent clonidine increased urine flow. The response of the kidney has been examined in four combinations. The parameters of renal function have been compared during volume expansion by 1.5-2.0% body weight Ringer solution. In the control animals, volume expansion by 2% body weight, resulted in a slight increase in sodium excretion and urine flow. In 10 anesthetized dogs 1.0 microgram/kg/min of clonidine infused i.v. during 30 minutes (the total amount of clonidine infused was 30 micrograms/kg) decreased the arterial blood pressure from 136 +/- 13 mmHg to 127 +/- 12 mmHg and elevated urine flow from 2.95 +/- 1.65 ml/min to 4.34 +/- 1.77 ml/min while the urine osmolality diminished from 399 +/- 107 mosm/l to 265 +/- 90 mosm/l and the glomerular filtration remained constant. In 5 animals 0.1 microgram/kg/min of clonidine was infused into the left renal artery (this dose is corresponding to the renal fraction of the cardiac output) without any effects in the left kidney. 1.0 microgram/kg/min of clonidine infused directly into the left renal artery produced vasoconstriction in the ipsilateral kidney, decreased the glomerular filtration rate and the urine flow. By contrast in the right kidney the urine flow rose without hemodynamic changes, and the urine osmolality became hypoosmotic compared to the plasma. In ten dogs 1.0 microgram/kg/min of clonidine and 1 mU/kg/min of arginine-vasopressin were infused intravenously. The vasopressin infusion superimposed on the clonidine could not inhibit the increase of the urine excretion, and the fall of the urine osmolality. The results suggest that the clonidine increases the renal medullary blood flow possibly via a direct mechanism, decreases the sympathetic outflow to the kidney and via an indirect pathway, mediated by the renin-angiotensin system. The renal medullary flow increase produces a washout of the medullary osmotic gradient, and the water reabsorption diminishes. 相似文献

Blood flow in the corpus luteum of the pseudopregnant rabbit was measured with tracer-labelled microspheres before and at 1 and 3 h after saline treatment (N = 8) or after inhibition of progesterone synthesis with aminoglutethimide (N = 10). Before treatment luteal blood flow (29.5 +/- 3.9 ml/min.g-1 (mean +/- s.e.m.] was much higher than blood flow to other tissues (ovarian stroma = 2.9 +/- 0.6; uterus = 0.5 +/- 0.1; adrenal gland = 2.6 +/- 0.2 ml/min.g-1). Aminoglutethimide reduced serum progesterone by 60% within 1 h but luteal blood flow was unchanged (26.2 +/- 3.5 ml/min.g-1). At 3 h after aminoglutethimide, serum progesterone remained low and luteal blood flow was slightly reduced to 22.5 +/- 3.4 ml/min.g-1. This reduction was associated with a significant decline in mean arterial blood pressure which resulted in luteal vascular resistance being unaltered by aminoglutethimide treatment. Further analysis of these data indicated that serum progesterone concentration was not significantly correlated with blood flow to the corpora lutea or with blood flow to other tissues. In contrast, mean arterial blood pressure was highly correlated with blood flow to the corpus luteum (r = 0.80; P less than 0.001) but not to the ovarian stroma (r = 0.04), or adrenal gland (r = 0.06). These results indicate that luteal blood flow is not acutely responsive to changes in luteal progesterone production and suggest that luteal blood flow changes passively with changes in arterial blood pressure. 相似文献

Thyrotropin [thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH)] receptor on-off signaling was studied in polarized monolayers of pig thyrocytes cultured on permeable support. Transepithelial resistance (R) and potential difference (PD) were used as parameters to monitor the effect of altered TSH concentrations on vectorial electrolyte transport. TSH induced rapid but long-lasting changes in R (decrease) and PD (increase) that were cAMP-dependent and related to enhanced transcellular conductance of sodium and chloride. Withdrawal of TSH from cultures prestimulated with TSH (0.1 mU/ml) for 48 h resulted in restitution of R to control level within 30 min. Such deactivation was markedly accelerated by mild trypsinization, which degraded receptor-bound ligand without affecting TSH receptor responsiveness or ion transporting capacity. Small alterations in the TSH concentration (0.01-0.1 mU/ml) were followed almost instantaneously by adjustments of R. In contrast, the reversal of R after acute TSH stimulation (30 min) and subsequent TSH washout was delayed for several hours independently of cell surface trypsinization. The observations indicate that, during continuous exposure to physiological concentrations, TSH exerts a close minute-to-minute surveillance of thyroid function and the rate-limiting step of deactivation is the dissociation of ligand from the TSH receptor at the cell surface. TSH-deprived cells briefly exposed to TSH are refractory to rapid deactivation, probably because of altered metabolism downstream of TSH receptor signal transduction. 相似文献

We hypothesized that in unilateral lung injury, bilateral hypoxic ventilation would induce vasoconstriction in the normal lung, redirect blood flow to the injured lung, and cause enhanced edema formation. Unilateral left lung injury was induced by intrabronchial instillation of 1.5 ml/kg of 0.1 N HCl. After HCl injury, blood flow to the injured left lung decreased progressively from 0.70 +/- 0.04 to 0.37 +/- 0.05 l/min and percent of flow to the injured left lung (QL/QT) decreased from 37.7 +/- 2.2 to 23.6 +/- 2.2% at 240 min. Exposure to hypoxia (12% O2) for three 10-min episodes did not affect QL/QT in normal animals, but after unilateral HCl injury, it caused blood flow to the injured left lung to increase significantly. A concomitant decrease in blood flow occurred to the noninjured right lung, resulting in a significant increase in QL/QT. The enhanced blood flow to the injured lung was associated with a significant increase in the wet-to-dry lung weight ratio in the dependent regions of the injured lung. These findings demonstrate that in unilateral HCl-induced lung injury, transient hypoxia can enhance blood flow to the areas of injury and increase lung edema formation. 相似文献

The mass density of antecubital venous blood was measured continuously for 80 min/session with 0.1 g/l precision at a flow rate of 1.5 ml/min in six male subjects. Each person participated in two different sessions with the same protocol. To induce transvascular fluid shifts, the subjects changed from sitting to standing and from standing to supine positions. There was transient blood density shifts immediately after postural changes, followed by an asymptotic approach to a new steady-state blood density level. Additional deviations from a simple time course were regularly observed. Blood density increased by 3.5 +/- 1.4 (SD) g/l when standing after sitting and decreased by 5.0 +/- 1.2 g/l while supine after standing. The corresponding half time of the blood density increase was 5.6 +/- 1.4 min (standing after sitting) and 6.9 +/- 3.1 min (supine after standing) of the blood density decrease. Erythrocyte density was calculated and did not change with body position. Whole-body blood density was calculated from plasma density, hematocrit, and erythrocyte density, assuming an F-cell ratio of 0.91. Volume shifts were computed from the density data; the subject's blood volume density decreased by 6.2 +/- 1.2% from sitting to standing and increased by 8.5 +/- 2.1% from standing to supine. Additional discrete plasma density and hematocrit measurements gave linear relations (P less than 0.001) between all possible combinations of blood density, plasma density, and hematocrit.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

The aim of the study was to evaluate whether a selective increase in portal vein blood glucose concentration can affect pancreatic islet blood flow. Anesthetized rats were infused (0.1 ml/min for 3 min) directly into the portal vein with saline, glucose, or 3-O-methylglucose. The infused dose of glucose (1 mg. kg body wt(-1). min(-1)) was chosen so that the systemic blood glucose concentration was unaffected. Intraportal infusion of D-glucose increased insulin release and islet blood flow; the osmotic control substance 3-O-methylglucose had no such effect. A bilateral vagotomy performed 20 min before the infusions potentiated the islet blood flow response and also induced an increase in whole pancreatic blood flow, whereas the insulin response was abolished. Administration of atropine to vagotomized animals did not change the blood flow responses to intraportal glucose infusions. When the vagotomy was combined with a denervation of the hepatic artery, there was no stimulation of islet blood flow or insulin release after intraportal glucose infusion. We conclude that a selective increase in portal vein blood glucose concentration may participate in the islet blood flow increase in response to hyperglycemia. This effect is probably mediated via periarterial nerves and not through the vagus nerve. Furthermore, this blood flow increase can be dissociated from changes in insulin release. 相似文献

We have previously shown that intrasplenic fluid extravasation is important in controlling blood volume. We proposed that, because the splenic vein flows in the portal vein, portal hypertension would increase splenic venous pressure and thus increase intrasplenic microvascular pressure and fluid extravasation. Given that the rat spleen has no capacity to store/release blood, intrasplenic fluid extravasation can be estimated by measuring the difference between splenic arterial inflow and venous outflow. In anesthetized rats, partial ligation of the portal vein rostral to the junction with the splenic vein caused portal venous pressure to rise from 4.5 +/- 0.5 to 12.0 +/- 0.9 mmHg (n = 6); there was no change in portal venous pressure downstream of the ligation, although blood flow in the liver fell. Splenic arterial flow did not change, but the arteriovenous flow differential increased from 0.8 +/- 0.3 to 1.2 +/- 0.1 ml/min (n = 6), and splenic venous hematocrit rose. Mean arterial pressure fell (101 +/- 5.5 to 95 +/- 4 mmHg). Splenic afferent nerve activity increased (5.6 +/- 0.9 to 16.2 +/- 0.7 spikes/s, n = 5). Contrary to our hypothesis, partial ligation of the portal vein caudal to the junction with the splenic vein (same increase in portal venous pressure but no increase in splenic venous pressure) also caused the splenic arteriovenous flow differential to increase (0.6 +/- 0.1 to 1.0 +/- 0.2 ml/min; n = 8). The increase in intrasplenic fluid efflux and the fall in mean arterial pressure after rostral portal vein ligation were abolished by splenic denervation. We propose there to be an intestinal/hepatic/splenic reflex pathway, through which is mediated the changes in intrasplenic extravasation and systemic blood pressure observed during portal hypertension. 相似文献

We tested the hypothesis that nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandins (PGs) contribute to the rapid vasodilation that accompanies a transition from mild to moderate exercise. Nine healthy volunteers (2 women and 7 men) lay supine with forearm at heart level. Subjects were instrumented for continuous brachial artery infusion of saline (control condition) or combined infusion of N(G)-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) and ketorolac (drug condition) to inhibit NO synthase and cyclooxygenase, respectively. A step increase from 5 min of steady-state mild (5.4 kg) rhythmic, dynamic forearm handgrip exercise (1 s of contraction followed by 2 s of relaxation) to moderate (10.9 kg) exercise for 30 s was performed. Steady-state forearm blood flow (FBF; Doppler ultrasound) and forearm vascular conductance (FVC) were attenuated in drug compared with saline (control) treatment: FBF = 196.8 +/- 30.8 vs. 281.4 +/- 34.3 ml/min and FVC = 179.3 +/- 29.4 vs. 277.8 +/- 34.8 ml.min(-1).100 mmHg(-1) (both P < 0.01). FBF and FVC increased from steady state after release of the initial contraction at the higher workload in saline and drug conditions: DeltaFBF = 72.4 +/- 8.7 and 52.9 +/- 7.8 ml/min, respectively, and DeltaFVC = 66.3 +/- 7.3 and 44.1 +/- 7.0 ml.min(-1).100 mmHg(-1), respectively (all P < 0.05). The percent DeltaFBF and DeltaFVC were not different during saline infusion or combined inhibition of NO and PGs: DeltaFBF = 27.2 +/- 3.1 and 28.1 +/- 3.8%, respectively (P = 0.78) and DeltaFVC = 25.7 +/- 3.2 and 26.0 +/- 4.0%, respectively (P = 0.94). The data suggest that NO and vasodilatory PGs are not obligatory for rapid vasodilation at the onset of a step increase from mild- to moderate-intensity forearm exercise. Additional vasodilatory mechanisms not dependent on NO and PG release contribute to the immediate and early increase in blood flow in an exercise-to-exercise transition. 相似文献

We examined the effect of ellagic acid (EA), one of the polyphenols that are abundantly contained in whisky as a nonalcoholic component, on gastric lesions induced by ammonia plus ischemia or ischemia/reperfusion in rats, in relation to the antioxidative system. Under urethane anesthesia, a rat stomach was mounted in an ex vivo chamber, and the following two experiments were performed; 1) a stomach was made ischemic (1.5 ml/100 g body weight) for 20 min, followed by reperfusion for 15 min in the presence of 100 mM HCl; 2) a stomach was made ischemic by bleeding from the carotid artery (1 ml/100 g body weight), followed by intragastric application of ammonia (NH4OH: 120 mM). EA (0.1-10 mg/ml) was applied in the chamber 30 min before the onset of ischemia. Gastric potential difference (PD) and mucosal blood flow (GMBF) were measured before, during and after 20 min of ischemia. Ischemia/reperfusion caused a profound drop in GMBF followed by a return, and resulted in hemorrhagic lesions in the stomach in the presence of 100 mM HCI. These lesions were dose-dependently prevented by EA with suppression of lipid peroxidation but no effect on GMBF, and the effect at 6 mg/ml was almost equivalent to that of superoxide dismutase (SOD: 15000 unit/kg/hr) infused i.v. during a test-period. On the other hand, application of NH4OH to the ischemic stomach produced a marked reduction in PD, resulting in severe hemorrhagic lesions. These changes were prevented with both EA and SOD. In addition, EA had a potent scavenging action against monochloramine in vitro. These results suggest that EA exhibits gastric protective action against gastric lesions induced by NH4OH or reperfusion in the ischemic stomach, probably due to its anti-oxidative activity. This property of EA partly explains the less damaging effect of whisky in the stomach and may be useful as the prophylactic for Helicobacter pylori-associated gastritis. 相似文献

We imposed opposing oscillations in treadmill speed and grade on nine rats to test for direct mechanical coupling between stride frequency and hindlimb blood flow. Resting hindlimb blood flow was 15.5 +/- 1.7 ml/min. For 90 s at 7.5 m/min, rats alternated walking at -10 degrees for 10 s and +10 degrees for 10 s. This elicited oscillations in hindlimb blood flow having an amplitude of 4.1 +/- 0.5 ml/min (18% of mean flow) with a delay presumably due to metabolic vasodilation. Similar oscillations in speed (5.5-9.5 m/min) elicited oscillations in hindlimb blood flow (amplitude 3.4 +/- 0.5 ml/min, 15% of mean flow) with less of a delay, possibly due to changes in vasodilation and muscle pump function. We then simultaneously imposed these speed and grade oscillations out of phase (slow uphill, fast downhill). The rationale was that the oscillations in vasodilation evoked by the opposing oscillations in speed and grade would cancel each other, thereby testing the degree to which stride frequency affects hindlimb blood flow directly (i.e., muscle pumping). Opposing oscillations in speed and grade evoked oscillations in hindlimb blood flow having an amplitude of 3.3 +/- 0.6 ml/min (16% of mean flow) with no delay and directly in phase with the changes in speed and stride frequency. The finding that hindlimb blood flow changes directly with speed (when vasodilation caused by changes in speed and grade oppose each other) indicates that there is a direct coupling of stride frequency and hindlimb blood flow (i.e., muscle pumping). 相似文献

Clearance of plasma aminopyrine (an index of mucosal blood flow, MBF) into acid (0.1 N HCl) instilled into Heidenhain pouches was about 200 ml per 30 min under basal conditions. Glucagon 50 μg/kg s.c. significantly decreased the MBF from 200 to 132 ml per 30 min at one hr; the decrease lasted about 60 min. Infusion of glucagon 50 μg/kg i.v. for 1 hr produced a delayed reduction of MBF lasting for more than 90 min. Under the same experimental conditions, atropine 50 μg/kg reduced MBF from 200 to 166 ml per 30 min upon subcutaneous administration and showed no significant effect by i.v. infusion. The increase in residual volume of the pouch caused by glucagon could not account for all the decrease in clearance of aminopyrine. We conclude that glucagon reduces gastric mucosal blood flow under basal conditions. 相似文献

The effect of long- and short-term manipulations of uterine blood flow on fetal plasma levels of IGF-I and -II have been studied in sheep at days 125-139 of pregnancy and compared with those in near term rats and guinea pig. The primary objective is to show that both long- and short-term reduction of uterine blood flow is associated with increase in the fetal plasma concentration of IGF-II while that of IGF-I falls. In the pregnant sheep long-term depression of utero-placental blood flow was caused by surgical reduction in placental mass (carunclectomy) prior to conception. This reduced fetal weight to 2.42 +/- 0.49 kg (SD) compared with 3.41 +/- 0.46 in controls; the respective values for uterine blood flow being 1694 +/- 558 and 913 +/- 324 ml/min respectively. This was associated with a fall in fetal plasma IGF-I concentration from 22.6 +/- 3.4 ng/ml to 14.9 +/- 1.31 ng/ml and a rise in IGF-II from 1952 +/- 284 ng/ml to 3360 +/- 914 ng/ml respectively. Similar changes in the plasma concentrations of IGF peptides were observed in fetal rats and guinea pigs in response to uterine artery ligation. Short-term reduction (60 min) of the uterine blood flow was caused either by compression of the common uterine artery to depress flow from 1491 +/- 375 to 648 +/- 216 ml/min or through intraarterial infusion of adrenaline at 35 ug/min to lower flow from 1628 +/- 339 to 1195 +/- 128 ml/min. Such falls in uterine blood flow had no significant effect on fetal plasma IGF-I levels but increased IGF-II levels by 30 to 60%. 相似文献

The interactions between exercise, vascular and metabolic plasticity, and aging have provided insight into the prevention and restoration of declining whole body and small muscle mass exercise performance known to occur with age. Metabolic and vascular adaptations to normoxic knee-extensor exercise training (1 h 3 times a week for 8 wk) were compared between six sedentary young (20 +/- 1 yr) and six sedentary old (67 +/- 2 yr) subjects. Arterial and venous blood samples, in conjunction with a thermodilution technique facilitated the measurement of quadriceps muscle blood flow and hematologic variables during incremental knee-extensor exercise. Pretraining, young and old subjects attained a similar maximal work rate (WR(max)) (young = 27 +/- 3, old = 24 +/- 4 W) and similar maximal quadriceps O(2) consumption (muscle Vo(2 max)) (young = 0.52 +/- 0.03, old = 0.42 +/- 0.05 l/min), which increased equally in both groups posttraining (WR(max), young = 38 +/- 1, old = 36 +/- 4 W, Muscle Vo(2 max), young = 0.71 +/- 0.1, old = 0.63 +/- 0.1 l/min). Before training, muscle blood flow was approximately 500 ml lower in the old compared with the young throughout incremental knee-extensor exercise. After 8 wk of knee-extensor exercise training, the young reduced muscle blood flow approximately 700 ml/min, elevated arteriovenous O(2) difference approximately 1.3 ml/dl, and increased leg vascular resistance approximately 17 mmHg x ml(-1) x min(-1), whereas the old subjects revealed no training-induced changes in these variables. Together, these findings indicate that after 8 wk of small muscle mass exercise training, young and old subjects of equal initial metabolic capacity have a similar ability to increase quadriceps muscle WR(max) and muscle Vo(2 max), despite an attenuated vascular and/or metabolic adaptation to submaximal exercise in the old. 相似文献

Portal hypertension initiates a splenorenal reflex, whereby increases in splenic afferent nerve activity and renal sympathetic nerve activity cause a decrease in renal blood flow (RBF). We postulated that mesenteric vascular congestion similarly compromises renal function through an intestinal-renal reflex. The portal vein was partially occluded in anesthetized rats, either rostral or caudal to the junction with the splenic vein. Portal venous pressure increased (6.5 +/- 0.1 to 13.2 +/- 0.1 mmHg; n = 78) and mesenteric venous outflow was equally obstructed in both cases. However, only rostral occlusion increased splenic venous pressure. Rostral occlusion caused a fall in RBF (-1.2 +/- 0.2 ml/min; n = 9) that was attenuated by renal denervation (-0.5 +/- 0.1 ml/min; n = 6), splenic denervation (-0.2 +/- 0.1 ml/min; n = 11), celiac ganglionectomy (-0.3 +/- 0.1 ml/min; n = 9), and splenectomy (-0.5 +/- 0.1 ml/min; n = 6). Caudal occlusion induced a significantly smaller fall in RBF (-0.5 +/- 0.1 ml/min; n = 9), which was not influenced by renal denervation (-0.2 +/- 0.2 ml/min; n = 6), splenic denervation (-0.1 +/- 0.1 ml/min; n = 7), celiac ganglionectomy (-0.1 +/- 0.3 ml/min; n = 8), or splenectomy (-0.3 +/- 0.1 ml/min; n = 7). Renal arterial conductance fell only in intact animals subjected to rostral occlusion (-0.007 +/- 0.002 ml.min(-1).mmHg(-1)). This was accompanied by increases in splenic afferent nerve activity (15.0 +/- 3.5 to 32.6 +/- 6.2 spikes/s; n = 7) and renal efferent nerve activity (32.7 +/- 5.2 to 39.3 +/- 6.0 spikes/s; n = 10). In animals subjected to caudal occlusion, there were no such changes in renal arterial conductance or splenic afferent/renal sympathetic nerve activity. We conclude that the portal hypertension-induced fall in RBF is initiated by increased splenic, but not mesenteric, venous pressure, i.e., we did not find evidence for intestinal-renal reflex control of the kidneys. 相似文献

To determine the cutaneous and resting skeletal muscle vascular responses to prolonged exercise, total forearm blood flow (FBF-plethysmography) (5 men) and forearm muscle blood flow (MBF-[125I]antipyrine clearance) (4 men) were measured throughout 55-60 min of bicycle exercise (600-750 kpm/min). Heart rate (HR) and esophageal temperature (Tes) were also measured throughout exercise. FBF showed only small changes during the first 10 min followed by progressive increments during the 10-40 min interval and smaller rises thereafter. For the full 60 min of exercise, there was an average increase in FBF of 8.26 ml/100 ml-min. MBF showed an initial fall with the onset of exercise (on the average from 3.84 to 2.13 ml/100 ml-min) which was sustained or fell further as exercise continued, indicating that increments in FBF were confined to skin. Much of the increase in FBF occurred despite essentially constant Tes. Results suggest that the progressive decrements in central venous pressure, stroke volume, and arterial pressure previously seen during prolonged exercise are due in part to progressive increments in cutaneous blood flow and volume. 相似文献

Blood in the splanchnic vasculature can be transferred to the extremities. We quantified such blood shifts in normal subjects by measuring trunk volume by optoelectronic plethysmography, simultaneously with changes in body volume by whole body plethysmography during contractions of the diaphragm and abdominal muscles. Trunk volume changes with blood shifts, but body volume does not so that the blood volume shifted between trunk and extremities (Vbs) is the difference between changes in trunk and body volume. This is so because both trunk and body volume change identically with breathing and gas expansion or compression. During tidal breathing Vbs was 50–75 ml with an ejection fraction of 4–6% and an output of 750–1500 ml/min. Step increases in abdominal pressure resulted in rapid emptying presumably from the liver with a time constant of 0.61±0.1SE sec. followed by slower flow from non-hepatic viscera. The filling time constant was 0.57±0.09SE sec. Splanchnic emptying shifted up to 650 ml blood. With emptying, the increased hepatic vein flow increases the blood pressure at its entry into the inferior vena cava (IVC) and abolishes the pressure gradient producing flow between the femoral vein and the IVC inducing blood pooling in the legs. The findings are important for exercise because the larger the Vbs the greater the perfusion of locomotor muscles. During asystolic cardiac arrest we calculate that appropriate timing of abdominal compression could produce an output of 6 L/min. so that the abdominal circulatory pump might act as an auxiliary heart. 相似文献

The pathophysiology of orthostatic hypotension in Parkinson's disease (PD) is incompletely understood. The primary focus has thus far been on failure of the baroreflex, a central mediated vasoconstrictor mechanism. Here, we test the role of two other possible factors: 1) a reduced peripheral vasoconstriction (which may contribute because PD includes a generalized sympathetic denervation); and 2) an inadequate plasma volume (which may explain why plasma volume expansion can manage orthostatic hypotension in PD). We included 11 PD patients with orthostatic hypotension (PD + OH), 14 PD patients without orthostatic hypotension (PD - OH), and 15 age-matched healthy controls. Leg blood flow was examined using duplex ultrasound during 60° head-up tilt. Leg vascular resistance was calculated as the arterial-venous pressure gradient divided by blood flow. In a subset of 9 PD + OH, 9 PD - OH, and 8 controls, plasma volume was determined by indicator dilution method with radiolabeled albumin ((125)I-HSA). The basal leg vascular resistance was significantly lower in PD + OH (0.7 ± 0.3 mmHg·ml(-1)·min) compared with PD - OH (1.3 ± 0.6 mmHg·ml(-1)·min, P < 0.01) and controls (1.3 ± 0.5 mmHg·ml(-1)·min, P < 0.01). Leg vascular resistance increased significantly during 60° head-up tilt with no significant difference between the groups. Plasma volume was significantly larger in PD + OH (3,869 ± 265 ml) compared with PD - OH (3,123 ± 377 ml, P < 0.01) and controls (3,204 ± 537 ml, P < 0.01). These results indicate that PD + OH have a lower basal leg vascular resistance in combination with a larger plasma volume compared with PD - OH and controls. Despite the increase in leg vascular resistance during 60° head-up tilt, PD + OH are unable to maintain their blood pressure. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that sympathetic vasoconstriction is rapidly blunted at the onset of forearm exercise. Nine healthy subjects performed 5 min of moderate dynamic forearm handgrip exercise during -60 mmHg lower body negative pressure (LBNP) vs. without (control). Beat-by-beat forearm blood flow (Doppler ultrasound), arterial blood pressure (finger photoplethysmograph), and heart rate were collected. LBNP elevated resting heart rate by approximately 45%. Mean arterial blood pressure was not significantly changed (P = 0.196), but diastolic blood pressure was elevated by approximately 10% and pulse pressure was reduced by approximately 20%. At rest, there was a 30% reduction in forearm vascular conductance (FVC) during LBNP (P = 0.004). The initial rapid increase in FVC with exercise onset reached a plateau between 10 and 20 s of 126.6 +/- 4.1 ml. min(-1). 100 mmHg(-1) in control vs. only 101.6 +/- 4.1 ml. min(-1). 100 mmHg(-1) in LBNP (main effect of condition, P = 0.003). This difference was quickly abolished during the second, slower phase of adaptation in forearm vascular tone to steady state. These data are consistent with a rapid onset of functional sympatholysis, in which local substances released with the onset of muscle contractions impair sympathetic neural vasoconstrictor effectiveness. 相似文献

The rate of liver glucokinase (GK) translocation from the nucleus to the cytoplasm in response to intraduodenal glucose infusion and the effect of physiological rises of plasma glucose and/or insulin on GK translocation were examined in 6-h-fasted conscious rats. Intraduodenal glucose infusion (28 mg.kg(-1).min(-1) after a priming dose at 500 mg/kg) elevated blood glucose levels (mg/dl) in the artery and portal vein from 90 +/- 3 and 87 +/- 3 to 154 +/- 4 and 185 +/- 4, respectively, at 10 min. At 120 min, the levels had decreased to 133 +/- 6 and 156 +/- 5, respectively. Plasma insulin levels (ng/ml) in the artery and the portal vein rose from 0.7 +/- 0.1 and 1.8 +/- 0.3 to 11.8 +/- 1.5 and 20.2 +/- 2.0 at 10 min, respectively, and 12.4 +/- 3.1 and 18.0 +/- 4.8 at 30 min, respectively. GK was rapidly exported from the nucleus as determined by measuring the ratio of the nuclear to the cytoplasmic immunofluorescence (N/C) of GK (2.9 +/- 0.3 at 0 min to 1.7 +/- 0.2 at 10 min, 1.5 +/- 0.1 at 20 min, 1.3 +/- 0.1 at 30 min, and 1.3 +/- 0.1 at 120 min). When plasma glucose (arterial; mg/dl) and insulin (arterial; ng/ml) levels were clamped for 30 min at 93 +/- 7 and 0.7 +/- 0.1, 81 +/- 5 and 8.9 +/- 1.3, 175 +/- 5 and 0.7 +/- 0.1, or 162 +/- 5 and 9.2 +/- 1.5, the N/C of GK was 3.0 +/- 0.5, 1.8 +/- 0.1, 1.5 +/- 0.1, and 1.2 +/- 0.1, respectively. The N/C of GK regulatory protein (GKRP) did not change in response to the intraduodenal glucose infusion or the rise in plasma glucose and/or insulin levels. The results suggest that GK but not GKRP translocates rapidly in a manner that corresponds with changes in the hepatic glucose balance in response to glucose ingestion in vivo. Additionally, the translocation of GK is induced by the postprandial rise in plasma glucose and insulin. 相似文献
