To determine the effect of age on quadriceps muscle blood flow (QMBF), leg vascular resistance (LVR), and maximum oxygen uptake (QVO2 max), a thermal dilution technique was used in conjunction with arterial and venous femoral blood sampling in six sedentary young (19.8 +/- 1.3 yr) and six sedentary old (66.5 +/- 2.1 yr) males during incremental knee extensor exercise (KE). Young and old attained a similar maximal KE work rate (WRmax) (young: 25.2 +/- 2.1 and old: 24.1 +/- 4 W) and QVO2 max (young: 0.52 +/- 0.03 and old: 0.42 +/- 0.05 l/min). QMBF during KE was lower in old subjects by approximately 500 ml/min across all work rates, with old subjects demonstrating a significantly lower QMBF/W (old: 174 +/- 20 and young: 239 +/- 46 ml. min-1. W-1). Although the vasodilatory response to incremental KE was approximately 142% greater in the old (young: 0.0019 and old: 0.0046 mmHg. min. ml-1. W-1), consistently elevated leg vascular resistance (LVR) in the old, approximately 80% higher LVR in the old at 50% WR and approximately 40% higher LVR in the old at WRmax (young: 44.1 +/- 3.6 and old: 31.0 +/- 1.7 mmHg. min. ml-1), dictated that during incremental KE the LVR of the old subjects was never less than that of the young subjects. Pulse pressures, indicative of arterial vessel compliance, were approximately 36% higher in the old subjects across all work rates. In conclusion, well-matched sedentary young and old subjects with similar quadriceps muscle mass achieved a similar WRmax and QVO2 max during incremental KE. The old subjects, despite a reduced QMBF, had a greater vasodilatory response to incremental KE. Given that small muscle mass exercise, such as KE, utilizes only a fraction of maximal cardiac output, peripheral mechanisms such as consistently elevated leg vascular resistance and greater pulse pressures appear to be responsible for reduced blood flow persisting throughout graded KE in the old subjects.  相似文献

We used 31P-magnetic resonance spectroscopy to test the hypothesis that exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) alters the muscle metabolic response to dynamic exercise, and that this contributes to the observed reduction in exercise tolerance following EIMD in humans. Ten healthy, physically active men performed incremental knee extensor exercise inside the bore of a whole body 1.5-T superconducting magnet before (pre) and 48 h after (post) performing 100 squats with a load corresponding to 70% of body mass. There were significant changes in all markers of muscle damage [perceived muscle soreness, creatine kinase activity (434% increase at 24 h), and isokinetic peak torque (16% decrease at 24 h)] following eccentric exercise. Muscle phosphocreatine concentration ([PCr]) and pH values during incremental exercise were not different pre- and post-EIMD (P > 0.05). However, resting inorganic phosphate concentration ([P(i)]; pre: 4.7 ± 0.8; post: 6.7 ± 1.7 mM; P < 0.01) and, consequently, [P(i)]/[PCr] values (pre: 0.12 ± 0.02; post: 0.18 ± 0.05; P < 0.01) were significantly elevated following EIMD. These mean differences were maintained during incremental exercise (P < 0.05). Time to exhaustion was significantly reduced following EIMD (519 ± 56 and 459 ± 63 s, pre- and post-EIMD, respectively, P < 0.001). End-exercise pH (pre: 6.75 ± 0.04; post: 6.83 ± 0.04; P < 0.05) and [PCr] (pre: 7.2 ± 1.7; post: 14.5 ± 2.1 mM; P < 0.01) were higher, but end-exercise [P(i)] was not significantly different (pre: 19.7 ± 1.9; post: 21.1 ± 2.6 mM, P > 0.05) following EIMD. The results indicate that alterations in phosphate metabolism, specifically the elevated [P(i)] at rest and throughout exercise, may contribute to the reduced exercise tolerance observed following EIMD.  相似文献

Angiogenesis, the growth of new blood vessels from existing ones, occurs in the skeletal muscle as an adaptive response to exercise that satisfies the increased requirement of this tissue for oxygen delivery and metabolic processes. Of the factors that have been identified to regulate this process, the endothelial cell mitogen vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) has been proposed to play a key role. The aim of this study was to measure the skeletal muscle VEGF mRNA content and arteriovenous protein balance across the working leg in response to a single bout of prolonged, submaximal exercise. Seven physically active males completed 3 h of two-legged kicking ergometry. Muscle biopsies were collected from the vastus lateralis muscle from both working legs, and blood samples were collected from one femoral artery and femoral vein before, during, and in recovery from exercise. We show that the exercise stimulus elicited a decrease in VEGF protein arteriovenous balance across the exercising leg (P = 0.007), and a ninefold elevation in skeletal muscle VEGF mRNA expression (P < 0.001). The changes in VEGF protein balance and mRNA content were most pronounced 1 h after the cessation of exercise. In conclusion, these findings demonstrate that submaximal exercise, suitable for humans with low CV fitness, induces a decrease in VEGF arteriovenous balance that is likely to be of clinical significance in promoting angiogenic effects.  相似文献

The skeletal muscle capillary supply is an important determinant of maximum exercise capacity, and it is well known that endurance exercise training increases the muscle capillary supply. The muscle capillary supply and exercise-induced angiogenesis are regulated in part by vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). VEGF is produced by skeletal muscle cells and can be secreted into the circulation. We investigated whether there are differences in circulating plasma VEGF between sedentary individuals (Sed) and well-trained endurance athletes (ET) at rest or in response to acute exercise. Eight ET men (maximal oxygen consumption: 63.8 +/- 2.3 ml x kg(-1) x min(-1); maximum power output: 409.4 +/- 13.3 W) and eight Sed men (maximal oxygen consumption: 36.3 +/- 2.1 ml x kg(-1) x min(-1); maximum power output: 234.4 +/- 13.3 W) exercised for 1 h at 50% of maximum power output. Antecubital vein plasma was collected at rest and at 0, 2, and 4 h postexercise. Plasma VEGF was measured by ELISA analysis. Acute exercise significantly increased VEGF at 0 and 2 h postexercise in ET subjects but did not increase VEGF at any time point in Sed individuals. There was no difference in VEGF between ET and Sed subjects at any time point. When individual peak postexercise VEGF was analyzed, exercise did increase VEGF independent of training status. In conclusion, exercise can increase plasma VEGF in both ET athletes and Sed men; however, there is considerable variation in the individual time of the peak VEGF response.  相似文献

A short-term training program involving 2 h of daily exercise at 59% of peak O2 uptake (VO2max) repeated for 10-12 consecutive days was employed to determine the significance of adaptations in energy metabolic potential on alterations in energy metabolism and substrate utilization in working muscle. The initial VO2max determined before training on the eight male subjects was 53.0 +/- 2.0 (SE) ml.kg-1.min-1. Analysis of samples obtained by needle biopsy from the vastus lateralis muscle before exercise (0 min) and at 15, 60, and 99 min of exercise indicated that on the average training resulted (P less than 0.05) in a 6.5% higher concentration of creatine phosphate, a 9.9% lower concentration of creatine, and a 39% lower concentration of lactate. Training had no effect on ATP concentration. These adaptations were also accompanied by a reduction in the utilization in glycogen such that by the end of exercise glycogen concentration was 47.1% higher in the trained muscle. Analysis of the maximal activities of representative enzymes of different metabolic pathways and segments indicated no change in potential in the citric acid cycle (succinate dehydrogenase, citrate synthase), beta-oxidation (3-hydroxyacyl CoA dehydrogenase), glucose phosphorylation (hexokinase), or potential for glycogenolysis (phosphorylase) and glycolysis (pyruvate kinase, phosphofructokinase, alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase, lactate dehydrogenase). With the exception of increases in the capillary-to-fiber area ratio in type IIa fibers, no change was found in any fiber type (types I, IIa, and IIb) for area, number of capillaries, capillary-to-fiber area ratio, or oxidative potential with training.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

The effects of acute alpha 1-adrenoceptor blockade with prazosin, beta 1-adrenoceptor blockade with atenolol, and nonselective beta-adrenoceptor blockade with propranolol were compared in a placebo-controlled crossover study of the hemodynamic and metabolic responses to acute exercise 2 h after prolonged prior exercise to induce skeletal muscle glycogen depletion, enhancing the dependence on hepatic glucose output and circulating free fatty acids (FFA). Plasma catecholamines were higher during exercise after, as opposed to before, glycogen depletion and were elevated further by all three drugs. Propranolol failed to produce a significant reduction in systolic blood pressure and elevated diastolic blood pressure. Atenolol reduced systolic blood pressure and did not change diastolic blood pressure. Both beta-blockers reduced FFA levels, but only propranolol lowered plasma glucose relative to placebo during exercise after glycogen depletion. In contrast, prazosin reduced systolic and diastolic blood pressures and resulted in elevated FFA and glucose levels. The results indicate important differences in the hemodynamic effects of beta 1-selective vs. nonselective beta-blockade during exercise after skeletal muscle glycogen depletion. Furthermore they confirm the importance of beta 2-mediated hepatic glucose production in maintaining plasma glucose levels during exercise. Acute alpha 1-blockade with prazosin induces reflex elevation of catecholamines, which in the absence of blockade of hepatic beta 2-receptors produces elevation of plasma glucose. The results suggest there is little role for alpha 1-mediated hepatic glucose production during exercise in humans.  相似文献

The response to incremental work after placebo and propranolol (80 mg, orally) was studied in 11 sedentary (S) and 11 physically active (PA) healthy subjects. O2 uptake, CO2 output, and minute ventilation were significantly reduced at all or most work rates after propranolol in S subjects, whereas in PA subjects only O2 uptake was occasionally significantly reduced. Maximum work capacity during the propranolol trial was significantly increased by 17% in the S group but was unaltered in the PA group. A subanaerobic threshold constant work test in five sedentary subjects demonstrated that propranolol had no effect on the respiratory response both early and late in exercise. In addition, propranolol did not impair the ability of the respiratory control system to maintain alveolar PCO2 at new set points when external dead space was added during constant load work. We conclude that alterations of gas exchange during incremental work after propranolol administration are related to both physical fitness and type of exercise.  相似文献

The metabolic response to steady exercise was studied in six chronic alcoholics and six normal control subjects. Higher concentrations of lactated and pyruvate were observed in the alcoholics during exercise and they also developed post-exercise ketosis. These changes were probably not due to reduced fitness of the alcoholics as the heart rates of both groups were similar. Alcoholics had lower levels of growth hormone during exercise compared with the controls suggesting that chronic alcohol consumption has a depressor effect on pathways regulating the release of growth hormone.  相似文献

Cytokine response to eccentric exercise in young and elderly humans   总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9  
To examine the plasma interleukin(IL)-6 response in elderly (E) and young (Y) humans, 10 E and 10 Ysubjects completed 60 min of eccentric lower limb exercise at the samerelative oxygen uptake. Plasma IL-6 was measured before, immediatelyafter, and 5 days into recovery from exercise, as were the biochemicalmarkers of muscle damage, creatine kinase (CK), and myoglobin. In both groups, IL-6 increased (P < 0.05) immediately afterexercise and peaked 4 h after exercise at 4.35 ± 1.7 vs.5.05 ± 3.17 pg/ml for E and Y subjects, respectively. However,the increase in IL-6 in both groups was modest relative to theincreases in CK peaking at 539 ± 413 vs. 10,301 ± 5,863 U/lfor E and Y subjects, respectively. In addition, the increase in IL-6was less pronounced (P < 0.05) in E subjects comparedwith Y subjects. These results suggest that IL-6 increasesprogressively after eccentric exercise, suggesting that this increaseis related to muscle damage. However, the modest increase in IL-6,despite large increases in CK, suggests that the IL-6 response tomuscle damage does not make an important contribution to the largeincrease in IL-6 observed during concentric exercise of long duration.Our data also suggest that aging may be associated with impaired repairmechanisms for exercise-induced muscle damage.

Cerebral metabolic response to submaximal exercise.   总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6  
We studied cerebral oxygenation and metabolism during submaximal cycling in 12 subjects. At two work rates, middle cerebral artery blood velocity increased from 62 +/- 3 to 63 +/- 3 and 70 +/- 5 cm/s as did cerebral oxygenation determined by near-infrared spectroscopy. Oxyhemoglobin increased by 10 +/- 3 and 25 +/- 3 micromol/l (P < 0. 01), and there was no significant change in brain norepinephrine spillover. The arterial-to-internal-jugular-venous (a-v) difference for O(2) decreased at low-intensity exercise (from 3.1 +/- 0.1 to 2. 9 +/- 0.1 mmol/l; P < 0.05) and recovered at moderate exercise (to 3. 3 +/- 0.1 mmol/l). The profile for glucose was similar: its a-v difference tended to decrease at low-intensity exercise (from 0.55 +/- 0.05 to 0.50 +/- 0.02 mmol/l) and increased during moderate exercise (to 0.64 +/- 0.04 mmol/l; P < 0.05). Thus the molar ratio (a-v difference, O(2) to glucose) did not change significantly. However, when the a-v difference for lactate (0.02 +/- 0.03 to 0.18 +/- 0.04 mmol/l) was taken into account, the O(2)-to-carbohydrate ratio decreased (from 6.1 +/- 0.4 to 4.7 +/- 0.3; P < 0.05). The enhanced cerebral oxygenation suggests that, during exercise, cerebral blood flow increases in excess of the O(2) demand. Yet it seems that during exercise not all carbohydrate taken up by the brain is oxidized, as brain lactate metabolism appears to lower the balance of O(2)-to-carbohydrate uptake.  相似文献

Exercise intolerance in persons with paraplegia (PARAS) is thought to be secondary to insufficient venous return and a subnormal cardiac output at a given oxygen uptake. However, these issues have not been resolved fully. This study utilized lower-body positive pressure (LBPP) as an intervention during arm crank exercise in PARAS in order to examine this issue. Endurance-trained (TP, n= 7) and untrained PARAS (UP, n= 10) with complete lesions between T6 and T12, and a control group consisting of sedentary able-bodied subjects (SAB, n= 10) were tested. UP and TP subjects demonstrated a diminished cardiac output (via CO2 rebreathing) during exercise compared to SAB subjects. Peak oxygen uptake (O2peak) remained unchanged for all groups following LBPP. LBPP resulted in a significant decrease in heart rate (HR) in UP and TP (P≤0.05), but not SAB subjects. LBPP produced an insignificant increase in cardiac output () and stroke volume (SV). The significant decrease in HR in both PARA groups may indicate a modest hemodynamic benefit of LBPP at higher work rates where circulatory sufficiency may be most compromised. We conclude that PARAS possess a diminished cardiac output during exercise compared to the able-bodied, and LBPP fails to ameliorate significantly their exercise response irrespective of the conditioning level. These results support previous observations of a lower cardiac output during exercise in PARAS, but indicate that lower-limb blood pooling may not be a primary limitation to arm exercise in paraplegia.
