Measurement of skin sympathetic nerve activity (SSNA) during isometric exercise has been previously limited to handgrip. We hypothesized that isometric leg exercise due to the greater muscle mass of the leg would elicit greater SSNA responses than arm exercise because of presumably greater central command and muscle mechanoreceptor activation. To compare the effect of isometric arm and leg exercise on SSNA and cutaneous end-organ responses, 10 subjects performed 2 min of isometric knee extension (IKE) and handgrip (IHG) at 30% of maximal voluntary contraction followed by 2 min of postexercise muscle ischemia (PEMI) in a normothermic environment. SSNA was recorded from the peroneal nerve. Cutaneous vascular conductance (laser-Doppler flux/mean arterial pressure) and electrodermal activity were measured within the field of cutaneous afferent discharge. Heart rate and mean arterial pressure significantly increased by 16 +/- 3 and 23 +/- 3 beats/min and by 22 +/- 2 and 27 +/- 3 mmHg from baseline during IHG and IKE, respectively. Heart rate and mean arterial pressure responses were significantly greater during IKE compared with IHG. SSNA increased significantly and comparably during IHG and IKE (52 +/- 20 and 50 +/- 13%, respectively). During PEMI, SSNA and heart rate returned to baseline, whereas mean arterial pressure remained significantly elevated (Delta12 +/- 2 and Delta13 +/- 2 mmHg from baseline for IHG and IKE, respectively). Neither cutaneous vascular conductance nor electrodermal activity was significantly altered by either exercise or PEMI. These results indicate that, despite cardiovascular differences in response to IHG and IKE, SSNA responses are similar at the same exercise intensity. Therefore, the findings suggest that relative effort and not muscle mass is the main determinant of exercise-induced SSNA responses in humans. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to determine whether isometric handgrip (IHG) training reduces arterial pressure and whether reductions in muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) mediate this drop in arterial pressure. Normotensive subjects were assigned to training (n = 9), sham training (n = 7), or control (n = 8) groups. The training protocol consisted of four 3-min bouts of IHG exercise at 30% of maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) separated by 5-min rest periods. Training was performed four times per week for 5 wk. Subjects' resting arterial pressure and heart rate were measured three times on 3 consecutive days before and after training, with resting MSNA (peroneal nerve) recorded on the third day. Additionally, subjects performed IHG exercise at 30% of MVC to fatigue followed by muscle ischemia. In the trained group, resting diastolic (67 +/- 1 to 62 +/- 1 mmHg) and mean arterial pressure (86 +/- 1 to 82 +/- 1 mmHg) significantly decreased, whereas systolic arterial pressure (116 +/- 3 to 113 +/- 2 mmHg), heart rate (67 +/- 4 to 66 +/- 4 beats/min), and MSNA (14 +/- 2 to 15 +/- 2 bursts/min) did not significantly change following training. MSNA and cardiovascular responses to exercise and postexercise muscle ischemia were unchanged by training. There were no significant changes in any variables for the sham training and control groups. The results indicate that IHG training is an effective nonpharmacological intervention in lowering arterial pressure. 相似文献

Patients with postural tachycardia syndrome (POTS) have excessive tachycardia without hypotension during orthostasis as well as exercise. We tested the hypothesis that excessive tachycardia during exercise in POTS is not related to abnormal baroreflex control of heart rate (HR). Patients (n = 13) and healthy controls (n = 10) performed graded cycle exercise at 25, 50, and 75 W in both supine and upright positions while arterial pressure (arterial catheter) and HR (ECG) were measured. Baroreflex sensitivity of HR was assessed by bolus intravenous infusion of phenylephrine at each workload. In both positions, HR was higher in the patients than the controls during exercise. Supine baroreflex sensitivity (HR/systolic pressure) in POTS patients was -1.3 +/- 0.1 beats.min(-1).mmHg(-1) at rest and decreased to -0.6 +/- 0.1 beats.min(-1).mmHg(-1) during 75-W exercise, neither significantly different from the controls (P > 0.6). In the upright position, baroreflex sensitivity in POTS patients at rest (-1.4 +/- 0.1 beats.min(-1).mmHg(-1)) was higher than the controls (-1.0 +/- 0.1 beats.min(-1).mmHg(-1)) (P < 0.05), and it decreased to -0.1 +/- 0.04 beats.min(-1).mmHg(-1) during 75-W exercise, lower than the controls (-0.3 +/- 0.09 beats.min(-1).mmHg(-1)) (P < 0.05). The reduced arterial baroreflex sensitivity of HR during upright exercise was accompanied by greater fluctuations in systolic and pulse pressure in the patients than in the controls with 56 and 90% higher coefficient of variations, respectively (P < 0.01). However, when baroreflex control of HR was corrected for differences in HR, it was similar between the patients and controls during upright exercise. These results suggest that the tachycardia during exercise in POTS was not due to abnormal baroreflex control of HR. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to characterize left ventricular (LV) diastolic filling and systolic performance during graded arm exercise and to examine the effects of lower body positive pressure (LBPP) or concomitant leg exercise as means to enhance LV preload in aerobically trained individuals. Subjects were eight men with a mean age (+/-SE) of 26.8 +/- 1.2 yr. Peak exercise testing was first performed for both legs [maximal oxygen uptake (Vo(2)) = 4.21 +/- 0.19 l/min] and arms (2.56 +/- 0.16 l/min). On a separate occasion, LV filling and ejection parameters were acquired using non-imaging scintography using in vivo red blood cell labeling with technetium 99(m) first during leg exercise performed in succession for 2 min at increasing grades to peak effort. Graded arm exercise (at 30, 60, 80, and 100% peak Vo(2)) was performed during three randomly assigned conditions: control (no intervention), with concurrent leg cycling (at a constant 15% leg maximal Vo(2)) or with 60 mmHg of LBPP using an Anti G suit. Peak leg exercise LV ejection fraction was higher than arm exercise (60.9 +/- 1.7% vs. 55.9 +/- 2.7%; P < 0.05) as was peak LV end-diastolic volume was reported as % of resting value (110.3 +/- 4.4% vs. 97 +/- 3.7%; P < 0.05) and peak filling rate (end-diastolic volume/s; 6.4 +/- 0.28% vs. 5.2 +/- 0.25%). Concomitant use of either low-intensity leg exercise or LBPP during arm exercise failed to significantly increase LV filling or ejection parameters. These observations suggest that perturbations in preload fail to overcome the inherent hemodynamic conditions present during arm exercise that attenuate LV performance. 相似文献

Lifting of a heavy weight may lead to "blackout" and occasionally also to cerebral hemorrhage, indicating pronounced consequences for the blood flow through the brain. We hypothesized that especially strenuous respiratory straining (a Valsalva-like maneuver) associated with intense static exercise would lead to a precipitous rise in mean arterial and central venous pressures and, in turn, influence the middle cerebral artery blood velocity (MCA V(mean)) as a noninvasive indicator of changes in cerebral blood flow. In 10 healthy subjects, MCA V(mean) was evaluated in response to maximal static two-legged exercise performed either with a concomitantly performed Valsalva maneuver or with continued ventilation and also during a Valsalva maneuver without associated exercise (n = 6). During static two-legged exercise, the largest rise for mean arterial pressure and MCA V(mean) was established at the onset of exercise performed with a Valsalva-like maneuver (by 42 +/- 5 mmHg and 31 +/- 3% vs. 22 +/- 6 mmHg and 25 +/- 6% with continued ventilation; P < 0.05). Profound reductions in MCA V(mean) were observed both after exercise with continued ventilation (-29 +/- 4% together with a reduction in the arterial CO(2) tension by -5 +/- 1 Torr) and during the maintained Valsalva maneuver (-21 +/- 3% together with an elevation in central venous pressure to 40 +/- 7 mmHg). Responses to performance of the Valsalva maneuver with and without exercise were similar, reflecting the deterministic importance of the Valsalva maneuver for the central and cerebral hemodynamic response to intense static exercise. Continued ventilation during intense static exercise may limit the initial rise in arterial pressure and may in turn reduce the risk of hemorrhage. On the other hand, blackout during and after intense static exercise may reflect a reduction in cerebral blood flow due to expiratory straining and/or hyperventilation. 相似文献

To identify whether muscle metaboreceptor stimulation alters baroreflex control of muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA), MSNA, beat-by-beat arterial blood pressure (Finapres), and electrocardiogram were recorded in 11 healthy subjects in the supine position. Subjects performed 2 min of isometric handgrip exercise at 40% of maximal voluntary contraction followed by 2.5 min of posthandgrip muscle ischemia. During muscle ischemia, blood pressure was lowered and then raised by intravenous bolus infusions of sodium nitroprusside and phenylephrine HCl, respectively. The slope of the relationship between MSNA and diastolic blood pressure was more negative (P < 0.001) during posthandgrip muscle ischemia (-201.9 +/- 20.4 units. beat(-1). mmHg(-1)) when compared with control conditions (-142.7 +/- 17.3 units. beat(-1). mmHg(-1)). No significant change in the slope of the relationship between heart rate and systolic blood pressure was observed. However, both curves shifted during postexercise ischemia to accommodate the elevation in blood pressure and MSNA that occurs with this condition. These data suggest that the sensitivity of baroreflex modulation of MSNA is elevated by muscle metaboreceptor stimulation, whereas the sensitivity of baroreflex of modulate heart rate is unchanged during posthandgrip muscle ischemia. 相似文献

To determine whether coronary sinus outflow pressure (Pcs) or intramyocardial tissue pressure (IMP) is the effective back pressure in the different layers of the left ventricular (LV) myocardium, we increased Pcs in 14 open-chest dogs under maximal coronary artery vasodilation. Circumflex arterial (flowmeter), LV total, and subendocardial and subepicardial (15-microns radioactive spheres) pressure-flow relationships (PFR) and IMP (needle-tip pressure transducers) were recorded during graded constriction of the artery at two diastolic Pcs levels (7 +/- 3 vs. 23 +/- 4 mmHg). At high Pcs, LV, aortic and diastolic circumflex arterial pressure, heart rate, myocardial oxygen consumption, and lactate extraction were unchanged; IMP in the subendocardium did not change (130/19 mmHg), whereas IMP in the subepicardium increased by 17 mmHg during systole and 10 mmHg during diastole (P < or = 0.001), independently of circumflex arterial pressure. Increasing Pcs did not change the slope of the PFR; however, coronary pressure at zero flow increased in the subepicardium (P < or = 0.008), whereas in the subendocardium it remained unchanged at 24 +/- 3 mmHg. Thus Pcs can regulate IMP independently of circumflex arterial pressure and consequently influence myocardial perfusion, especially in the subepicardial tissue layer of the LV. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between changes in efferent muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) to the lower leg and calf vascular resistance (CVR) during isometric exercise in humans. We made intraneural (microneurographic) determinations of MSNA in the right leg (peroneal nerve) while simultaneously measuring calf blood flow to the left leg, arterial pressure, and heart rate in 10 subjects before (control), during, and after (recovery) isometric handgrip exercise performed for 2.5 min at 15, 25, and 35% of maximal voluntary contraction (MVC). Heart rate and arterial pressure increased above control within the initial 30 s of handgrip at all levels, and the magnitudes of the increases at end contraction were proportional to the intensity of the exercise. In general, neither MSNA nor CVR increased significantly above control levels during handgrip at 15% MVC. Similarly, neither variable increased above control during the initial 30 s of handgrip at 25 and 35% MVC; however, during the remainder of the contraction period, progressive, parallel increases were observed in MSNA and CVR (P less than 0.05). The correlation coefficients relating changes in MSNA to changes in CVR for the individual subjects averaged 0.63 +/- 0.07 (SE) (range 0.30-0.91) and 0.94 +/- 0.06 (range 0.80-0.99) for the 25 and 35% MVC levels, respectively. During recovery, both MSNA and CVR returned rapidly toward control levels. These findings demonstrate that muscle sympathetic nerve discharge and vascular resistance in the lower leg are tightly coupled during and after isometric arm exercise in humans. Furthermore, the exercise-induced adjustments in the two variables are both contraction intensity and time dependent. 相似文献

We investigated the influence of aging on cardiac baroreflex function during dynamic exercise in seven young (22 +/- 1 yr) and eight older middle-aged (59 +/- 2 yr) healthy subjects. Carotid-cardiac baroreflex function was assessed at rest and during moderate-intensity steady-state cycling performed at 50% heart rate reserve (HRR). Five-second pulses of neck pressure and neck suction from +40 to -80 Torr were applied to determine the operating point gain (G(OP)) and maximal gain (G(MAX)) of the full carotid-cardiac baroreflex function curve and examine baroreflex resetting during exercise. At rest, mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate were similar between the younger and older subjects. In contrast, the resting G(OP) and G(MAX) were significantly lower in the older subjects. The increase in MAP from rest to exercise was greater in the older subjects (Delta +20 +/- 2 older vs. Delta +6 +/- 3 younger mmHg; P < 0.001). However, the G(OP) was similar in both groups during exercise because of a reduction in the younger subjects. In contrast, G(MAX) was unchanged from rest and therefore remained lower in older subjects (-0.19 +/- 0.05 older vs. -0.42 +/- 0.05 younger beats.min(-1).mmHg(-1); 50% HRR; P < 0.001). Furthermore, exercise resulted in an upward and rightward resetting of the cardiac baroreflex function curve in both groups. Collectively, these findings suggest that the cardiac baroreflex function curve appropriately resets during exercise in older subjects but operates at a reduced G(MAX) primarily because of age-related reductions in carotid-cardiac control manifest at rest. 相似文献

Exercise training and hypertension induced cardiac hypertrophy but modulate differently left ventricle (LV) function. This study set out to evaluate cardiac adaptations induced by moderate exercise training in normotensive and untreated severe hypertensive rats. Four groups of animals were studied: normotensive (Ctl) and severe hypertensive (HT) Wistar rats were assigned to be sedentary (Sed) or perform a moderate exercise training (Ex) over a 10-wk period. Severe hypertension was induced in rat by a two-kidney, one-clip model. At the end of the training period, hemodynamic parameters and LV morphology and function were assessed using catheterism and conventional pulsed Doppler echocardiography. LV histology was performed to study fibrosis infiltrations. Severe hypertension increased systolic blood pressure to 202 +/- 9 mmHg and induced pathological hypertrophy (LV hypertrophy index was 0.34 +/- 0.02 vs. 0.44 +/- 0.02 in Ctl-Sed and HT-Sed groups, respectively) with LV relaxation alteration (early-to-atrial wave ratio = 2.02 +/- 0.11 vs. 1.63 +/- 0.12). Blood pressure was not altered by exercise training, but arterial stiffness was reduced in trained hypertensive rats (pulse pressure was 75 +/- 7 vs. 62 +/- 3 mmHg in HT-Sed and HT-Ex groups, respectively). Exercise training induced eccentric hypertrophy in both Ex groups by increasing LV cavity without alteration of LV systolic function. However, LV hypertrophy index was significantly decreased in normotensive rats only (0.34 +/- 0.02 vs. 0.30 +/- 0.02 in Ctl-Sed and Ctl-Ex groups, respectively). Moreover, exercise training improved LV passive filling in Ctl-Ex rats but not in Ht-Ex rats. In this study, exercise training did not reduce blood pressure and induced an additional physiological hypertrophy in untreated HT rats, which was slightly blunted when compared with Ctl rats. However, cardiac function was not worsened by exercise training. 相似文献

Peripheral chemoreflex inhibition with hyperoxia decreases sympathetic nerve traffic to muscle circulation [muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA)]. Hyperoxia also decreases lactate production during exercise. However, hyperoxia markedly increases the activation of sensory endings in skeletal muscle in animal studies. We tested the hypothesis that hyperoxia increases the MSNA and mean blood pressure (MBP) responses to isometric exercise. The effects of breathing 21% and 100% oxygen at rest and during isometric handgrip at 30% of maximal voluntary contraction on MSNA, heart rate (HR), MBP, blood lactate (BL), and arterial O2 saturation (SaO2) were determined in 12 healthy men. The isometric handgrips were followed by 3 min of postexercise circulatory arrest (PE-CA) to allow metaboreflex activation in the absence of other reflex mechanisms. Hyperoxia lowered resting MSNA, HR, MBP, and BL but increased Sa(O2) compared with normoxia (all P < 0.05). MSNA and MBP increased more when exercise was performed in hyperoxia than in normoxia (MSNA: hyperoxic exercise, 255 +/- 100% vs. normoxic exercise, 211 +/- 80%, P = 0.04; and MBP: hyperoxic exercise, 33 +/- 9 mmHg vs. normoxic exercise, 26 +/- 10 mmHg, P = 0.03). During PE-CA, MSNA and MBP remained elevated (both P < 0.05) and to a larger extent during hyperoxia than normoxia (P < 0.05). Hyperoxia enhances the sympathetic and blood pressure (BP) reactivity to metaboreflex activation. This is due to an increase in metaboreflex sensitivity by hyperoxia that overrules the sympathoinhibitory and BP lowering effects of chemoreflex inhibition. This occurs despite a reduced lactic acid production. 相似文献

Subjects with greater aerobic fitness demonstrate better diastolic compliance at rest, but whether fitness modulates exercise cardiac compliance and cardiac filling pressures remains to be determined. On the basis of maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max), healthy male subjects were categorized into either low (LO: VO2max=43+/-6 ml.kg-1.min-1; n=3) or high (HI: VO2max=60+/-3 ml.kg-1.min-1; n=5) aerobic power. Subjects performed incremental cycle exercise to 90% Vo(2max). Right atrial (RAP) and pulmonary artery wedge (PAWP) pressures were measured, and left ventricular (LV) transmural filling pressure (TMFP=PAWP-RAP) was calculated. Cardiac output (CO) and stroke volume (SV) were determined by direct Fick, and LV end-diastolic volume (EDV) was estimated from echocardiographic fractional area change and Fick SV. There were no between-group differences for any measure at rest. At a submaximal workload of 150 W, PAWP and TMFP were higher (P<0.05) in LO compared with HI (12 vs. 8 mmHg, and 9 vs. 4 mmHg, respectively). At peak exercise, CO, SV, and EDV were lower in LO (P<0.05). RAP was not different at peak exercise, but PAWP (23 vs. 15 mmHg) and TMFP (12 vs. 6 mmHg) were higher in LO (P<0.05). Compared with less fit subjects, subjects with greater aerobic fitness demonstrated lower LV filling pressures during exercise, whereas SV and EDV were either similar (submaximal exercise) or higher (peak exercise), suggesting superior diastolic function and compliance. 相似文献

Leg venous pressure markedly falls during upright exercise via a muscle pump effect, creating de novo perfusion pressure. We examined physiological roles of this mechanism in increasing femoral artery blood flow (FABF) and its alterations in chronic heart failure (CHF). In 10 normal subjects and 10 patients with CHF, standard hemodynamic variables, mean ankle vein pressure (MAVP), and FABF with Doppler techniques were obtained during graded upright bicycle exercise. To evaluate a nonspecific blood flow response, normal subjects also performed supine exercise. In normal subjects, MAVP rapidly declined by 45 mmHg and FABF correspondingly increased 5.3-fold without a systemic pressor response during 10 s of light upright exercise at 5 W. Approximately 67% of the blood flow response was attributed to the venous pressure drop-dependent mechanism. In CHF patients, MAVP declined by only 36 mmHg and FABF increased only 1.7-fold during the same upright exercise. The muscle venous pump has an ability to increase FABF at least threefold via the venous pressure drop-dependent mechanism. This mechanism is impaired in CHF patients. 相似文献

Sympathetic adaptations to one-legged training. 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

The purpose of the present study was to determine the effect of leg exercise training on sympathetic nerve responses at rest and during dynamic exercise. Six men were trained by using high-intensity interval and prolonged continuous one-legged cycling 4 day/wk, 40 min/day, for 6 wk. Heart rate, mean arterial pressure (MAP), and muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA; peroneal nerve) were measured during 3 min of upright dynamic one-legged knee extensions at 40 W before and after training. After training, peak oxygen uptake in the trained leg increased 19 +/- 2% (P < 0.01). At rest, heart rate decreased from 77 +/- 3 to 71 +/- 6 beats/min (P < 0.01) with no significant changes in MAP (91 +/- 7 to 91 +/- 11 mmHg) and MSNA (29 +/- 3 to 28 +/- 1 bursts/min). During exercise, both heart rate and MAP were lower after training (108 +/- 5 to 96 +/- 5 beats/min and 132 +/- 8 to 119 +/- 4 mmHg, respectively, during the third minute of exercise; P < 0.01). MSNA decreased similarly from rest during the first 2 min of exercise both before and after training. However, MSNA was significantly less during the third minute of exercise after training (32 +/- 2 to 22 +/- 3 bursts/min; P < 0.01). This training effect on MSNA remained when MSNA was expressed as bursts per 100 heartbeats. Responses to exercise in five untrained control subjects were not different at 0 and 6 wk. These results demonstrate that exercise training prolongs the decrease in MSNA during upright leg exercise and indicates that attenuation of MSNA to exercise reported with forearm training also occurs with leg training. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to test the general hypothesis that sympathoinhibitory cardiopulmonary baroreflexes modulate sympathetic outflow during voluntary exercise in humans. Direct (microneurographic) measurements of postganglionic sympathetic nerve activity to noncontracting muscle (MSNA) were made from the right peroneal nerve in the leg, and arterial pressure (AP) and heart rate (HR) were recorded in 10 healthy subjects before (control) and for 2.5 min during each of five interventions: 1) lower-body negative pressure at -10 mmHg (LBNP) alone, 2 and 3) isometric handgrip exercise at 15 and 30% of maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) alone, and 4 and 5) handgrip at 15 and 30% MVC performed during LBNP. During LBNP alone, which should have reduced cardiopulmonary baroreflex sympathoinhibition, AP and HR did not change from control, but MSNA increased 93 +/- 24% (P less than 0.05). Handgrip elicited contraction intensity-dependent increases in AP and HR (P less than 0.05), but MSNA increased above control only at the 30% MVC level (165 +/- 30%, P less than 0.05). The HR, AP, and MSNA responses to either level of handgrip performed during LBNP were not different from the algebraic sums of the corresponding responses to handgrip and LBNP performed separately (P greater than 0.05). Since there was no facilitation of the MSNA response to handgrip when performed during LBNP compared with algebraic sums of the separate responses, our results do not support the hypothesis that cardiopulmonary baroreflexes modulate (inhibit) sympathetic outflow during exercise in humans. 相似文献

An acute bout of aerobic exercise results in a reduced blood pressure that lasts several hours. Animal studies suggest this response is mediated by increased production of nitric oxide. We tested the extent to which systemic nitric oxide synthase inhibition [N(G)-monomethyl-L-arginine (L-NMMA)] can reverse the drop in blood pressure that occurs after exercise in humans. Eight healthy subjects underwent parallel experiments on 2 separate days. The order of the experiments was randomized between sham (60 min of seated upright rest) and exercise (60 min of upright cycling at 60% peak aerobic capacity). After both sham and exercise, subjects received, in sequence, systemic alpha-adrenergic blockade (phentolamine) and L-NMMA. Phentolamine was given first to isolate the contribution of nitric oxide to postexercise hypotension by preventing reflex changes in sympathetic tone that result from systemic nitric oxide synthase inhibition and to control for alterations in resting sympathetic activity after exercise. During each condition, systemic and regional hemodynamics were measured. Throughout the study, arterial pressure and vascular resistances remained lower postexercise vs. postsham despite nitric oxide synthase inhibition (e.g., mean arterial pressure after L-NMMA was 108.0+/-2.4 mmHg postsham vs. 102.1+/-3.3 mmHg postexercise; P<0.05). Thus it does not appear that postexercise hypotension is dependent on increased production of nitric oxide in humans. 相似文献

Central venous pressure (CVP) was measured in 14 males during 23.3 +/- 0.6 s (mean +/- SE) of weightlessness (0.00 +/- 0.05 G) achieved in a Gulfstream-3 jet aircraft performing parabolic flight maneuvers and during either 60 or 120 s of +2 Gz (2.0 +/- 0.1 Gz). CVP was obtained using central venous catheters and strain-gauge pressure transducers. Heart rate (HR) was measured simultaneously in seven of the subjects. Measurements were compared with values obtained inflight at 1 G with the subjects in the supine (+1 Gx) and upright sitting (+1 Gz) positions, respectively. CVP was 2.6 +/- 1.5 mmHg during upright sitting and 5.0 +/- 0.7 mmHg in the supine position. During weightlessness, CVP increased significantly to 6.8 +/- 0.8 mmHg (P less than 0.005 compared with both upright sitting and supine inflight). During +2 Gz, CVP was 2.8 +/- 1.4 mmHg and only significantly lower than CVP during weightlessness (P less than 0.05). HR increased from 65 +/- 7 beats/min at supine and 70 +/- 5 beats/min during upright sitting to 79 +/- 7 beats/min (P less than 0.01 compared with supine) during weightlessness and to 80 +/- 6 beats/min (P less than 0.01 compared with upright sitting and P less than 0.001 compared with supine) during +2 Gz. We conclude that the immediate onset of weightlessness induces a significant increase in CVP, not only compared with the upright sitting position but also compared with the supine position at 1 G. 相似文献

We studied hemodynamic responses to alpha- and beta-receptor agonists in eight men to test the hypothesis that adrenoreceptor responsiveness is altered within 24 h of the performance of maximal exercise. Adrenoreceptor responsiveness was tested under two experimental conditions (with and without maximal exercise). Adrenoreceptor tests were performed 24 h after each subject performed graded upright cycle ergometry to volitional exhaustion. The 2 test days (experimental conditions) were separated by at least 1 wk, and the order of exercise and no-exercise conditions was counterbalanced. Steady-state graded infusions of phenylephrine (PE) and isoproterenol (Iso) were used to assess alpha- and beta-adrenoreceptor responsiveness, respectively. Slopes calculated from linear regressions between Iso and PE doses and changes in heart rate, blood pressure, and leg vascular resistance for each subject were used as an index of alpha- and beta-adrenoreceptor responsiveness. The slope of the relationship between heart rate and Iso with maximal exercise was 1773 +/- 164 beats x microm-1x kg-1x min-1 compared with 1987 +/- 142 beats x microg-1x kg-1x min-1 without exercise (P = 0.158), whereas the slopes of the relationship between vascular resistance to Iso were -438 +/- 123 peripheral resistance units (PRU) x microg-1x kg-1x min-1 with maximal exercise and -429 +/- 105 x microg-1x kg-1 x min-1 without exercise (P = 0.904). Maximal exercise was associated with greater (P < 0.05) vascular resistance (15.1 +/- 2.8 PRU x microg-1 kg-1x min-1) and mean arterial blood pressure (15.8 +/- 2.1 mmHg. microg-1x kg-1x min-1) responses to PE infusion compared with no exercise (9.0 +/- 2.0 PRU x microg-1 kg-1 x min-1 and 10.9 +/- 2.0 mmHg. microg-1x kg-1x min-1, respectively). These results provide evidence that a single bout of maximal exercise increases alpha1-adrenoreceptor responsiveness within 24 h without affecting beta-cardiac and vascular adrenoreceptor responses. 相似文献

Although cerebral autoregulation (CA) appears well maintained during mild to moderate intensity dynamic exercise in young subjects, it is presently unclear how aging influences the regulation of cerebral blood flow during physical activity. Therefore, to address this question, middle cerebral artery blood velocity (MCAV), mean arterial pressure (MAP), and the partial pressure of arterial carbon dioxide (Pa(CO(2))) were assessed at rest and during steady-state cycling at 30% and 50% heart rate reserve (HRR) in 9 young (24 +/- 3 yr; mean +/- SD) and 10 older middle-aged (57 +/- 7 yr) subjects. Transfer function analysis between changes in MAP and mean MCAV (MCAV(mean)) in the low-frequency (LF) range were used to assess dynamic CA. No age-group differences were found in Pa(CO(2)) at rest or during cycling. Exercise-induced increases in MAP were greater in older subjects, while changes in MCAV(mean) were similar between groups. The cerebral vascular conductance index (MCAV(mean)/MAP) was not different at rest (young 0.66 +/- 0.04 cm x s(-1) x mmHg(-1) vs. older 0.67 +/- 0.03 cm x s(-1) x mmHg(-1); mean +/- SE) or during 30% HRR cycling between groups but was reduced in older subjects during 50% HRR cycling (young 0.67 +/- 0.03 cm x s(-1) x mmHg(-1) vs. older 0.56 +/- 0.02 cm x s(-1) x mmHg(-1); P < 0.05). LF transfer function gain and phase between MAP and MCAV(mean) was not different between groups at rest (LF gain: young 0.95 +/- 0.05 cm x s(-1) x mmHg(-1) vs. older 0.88 +/- 0.06 cm x s(-1) x mmHg(-1); P > 0.05) or during exercise (LF gain: young 0.80 +/- 0.05 cm x s(-1) x mmHg(-1) vs. older 0.72 +/- 0.07 cm x s(-1) x mmHg(-1) at 50% HRR; P > 0.05). We conclude that despite greater increases in MAP, the regulation of MCAV(mean) is well maintained during dynamic exercise in healthy older middle-aged subjects. 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
