The uterine artery blood flow (UtBF) and renal sympathetic nerve activity (SNA) responses to treadmill exercise were evaluated in 12 nonpregnant (NP) and 17 term pregnant (P) rabbits. UtBF was monitored continuously with a Transonic flowprobe. Rabbits underwent three exercise trials (5-min duration) that varied in absolute workload. The rise in renal SNA with exercise was intensity related. Pregnancy did not affect the average steady-state renal SNA response expressed relative to maximum activity (P 24 +/- 1% vs. NP 23 +/- 2% of maximum smoke-elicited activity) and increased the average renal SNA response expressed relative to resting activity (P +155 +/- 19% vs. NP +84 +/- 23% from rest, P = 0.03) At rest, UtBF (P 13 +/- 3 vs. NP 1.9 +/- 0.3 ml/min) and uterine artery conductance (UtC; P 22 +/- 5 vs. NP 2.8 +/- 0.5 ml. min-1.mmHg-1 x 10-2) were elevated in the P rabbits. The average exercise-related decreases in UtBF (P -16 +/- 4% vs. NP -48 +/- 4%) and UtC (P -27 +/- 4% vs. NP -54 +/- 4%) were attenuated in the P rabbits. Pregnancy does not impair the ability to raise renal SNA but attenuates the uterine artery constrictor response to moderate to heavy dynamic exercise in rabbits. Under normal conditions, the pregnant uterine circulatory bed may be relatively protected from exercise-related redistribution of blood flow.  相似文献

We tested the hypothesis that heliox breathing, by reducing lung dynamic hyperinflation (DH) and dyspnea (Dys) sensation, may significantly improve exercise endurance capacity in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [n = 12, forced expiratory volume in 1 s = 1.15 (SD 0.32) liters]. Each subject underwent two cycle ergometer high-intensity constant work rate exercises to exhaustion, one on room air and one on heliox (79% He-21% O2). Minute ventilation (VE), carbon dioxide output, heart rate, inspiratory capacity (IC), Dys, and arterial partial pressure of CO2 were measured. Exercise endurance time increased significantly with heliox [9.0 (SD 4.5) vs. 4.2 (SD 2.0) min; P < 0.001]. This was associated with a significant reduction in lung DH at isotime (Iso), as reflected by the increase in IC [1.97 (SD 0.40) vs. 1.77 (SD 0.41) liters; P < 0.001] and a decrease in Dys [6 (SD 1) vs. 8 (SD 1) score; P < 0.001]. Heliox induced a state of relative hyperventilation, as reflected by the increase in VE [38.3 (SD 7.7) vs. 35.5 (SD 8.8) l/min; P < 0.01] and VE/carbon dioxide output [36.3 (SD 6.0) vs. 33.9 (SD 5.6); P < 0.01] at peak exercise and by the reduction in arterial partial pressure of CO2 at Iso [44 (SD 6) vs. 48 (SD 6) Torr; P < 0.05] and at peak exercise [46 (SD 6) vs. 48 (SD 6) Torr; P < 0.05]. The reduction in Dys at Iso correlated significantly (R = -0.75; P < 0.01) with the increase in IC induced by heliox. The increment induced by heliox in exercise endurance time correlated significantly with resting increment in resting forced expiratory in 1 s (R = 0.88; P < 0.01), increase in IC at Iso (R = 0.70; P < 0.02), and reduction in Dys at Iso (R = -0.71; P < 0.01). In chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, heliox breathing improves high-intensity exercise endurance capacity by increasing maximal ventilatory capacity and by reducing lung DH and Dys.  相似文献

We determined maximal exercise capacity and measured hemodynamics in 10 6-wk-old lambs with an aortopulmonary left-to-right shunt [S, 57 +/- 11%, (SD)] and in 9 control lambs (C) during a graded treadmill test 8 days after surgery. Maximal exercise capacity (3.7 +/- 0.2 km/h and 10 +/- 5% inclination vs. 4.0 +/- 0.9 km/h and 15 +/- 0% inclination, P less than 0.02) and peak oxygen consumption (25 +/- 7 vs. 34 +/- 8 ml O2.min-1.kg-1, P less than 0.02) were both lower in the shunt than in the control lambs. This was due to a lower maximal systemic blood flow in the shunt lambs (271 +/- 38 vs. 359 +/- 71 ml.min-1.kg-1, P less than 0.01). Despite their high maximal left ventricular output, which was higher than in the control lambs (448 +/- 87 vs. 359 +/- 71 ml.min-1.kg-1, P less than 0.05), the left-to-right shunt could not be compensated for during maximal exercise because of a decreased reserve in heart rate (S: 183 +/- 22 to 277 +/- 38 beats/min; C: 136 +/- 25 to 287 +/- 29 beats/min) and in left ventricular stroke volume (S: 1.8 +/- 0.3 to 1.6 +/- 0.4 ml/kg; C: 1.0 +/- 0.3 to 1.3 +/- 0.2 ml/kg). We conclude that exercise capacity of shunt lambs is lower than that of control lambs, despite a good left ventricular performance, because a part of the reserves for increasing the left ventricular output is already utilized at rest.  相似文献

Limb vascular conductance responses to pharmacological and nonexercise vasodilator stimuli are generally augmented in women compared with men. In the present investigation, we tested the hypothesis that exercise-induced vasodilator responses are also greater in women than men. Sixteen women and 15 men (20-30 yr) with similar fitness and activity levels performed graded quadriceps exercise (supine, single-leg knee extensions, 40 contractions/min) to maximal exertion. Active limb hemodynamics (left common femoral artery diameter and volumetric blood flow), heart rate (ECG), and beat-to-beat mean arterial blood pressure (MAP; radial artery tonometry) were measured during each 3-min workload (4.8 and 8 W/stage for women and men, respectively). The hyperemic response to exercise (slope of femoral blood flow vs. workload) was greater (P < 0.01) in women as was femoral blood flow at workloads >15 W. The leg vasodilatory response to exercise (slope of calculated femoral vascular conductance vs. absolute workload) was also greater in women than in men (P < 0.01) because of the sex difference in hyperemia and the women's lower MAP ( approximately 10-15 mmHg) at all workloads (P < 0.05). The femoral artery dilated to a significantly greater extent in the women ( approximately 0.5 mm) than in the men ( approximately 0.1 mm) across all submaximal workloads. At maximal exertion, femoral vascular conductance was lower in the men (men, 18.0 +/- 0.6 ml.min(-1)xmmHg(-1); women, 22.6 +/- 1.4 mlxmin(-1)xmmHg(-1); P < 0.01). Collectively, these findings suggest that the vasodilatory response to dynamic leg exercise is greater in young women vs. men.  相似文献

Exercise blunts sympathetic alpha-adrenergic vasoconstriction (functional sympatholysis). We hypothesized that sympatholysis would be augmented during hypoxic exercise compared with exercise alone. Fourteen subjects were monitored with ECG and pulse oximetry. Brachial artery and antecubital vein catheters were placed in the nondominant (exercising) arm. Subjects breathed hypoxic gas to titrate arterial O2 saturation to 80% while remaining normocapnic via a rebreath system. Baseline and two 8-min bouts of rhythmic forearm exercise (10 and 20% of maximum) were performed during normoxia and hypoxia. Forearm blood flow, blood pressure, heart rate, minute ventilation, and end-tidal CO2 were measured at rest and during exercise. Vasoconstrictor responsiveness was determined by responses to intra-arterial tyramine during the final 3 min of rest and each exercise bout. Heart rate was higher during hypoxia (P < 0.01), whereas blood pressure was similar (P = 0.84). Hypoxic exercise potentiated minute ventilation compared with normoxic exercise (P < 0.01). Forearm blood flow was higher during hypoxia compared with normoxia at rest (85 +/- 9 vs. 66 +/- 7 ml/min), at 10% exercise (276 +/- 33 vs. 217 +/- 27 ml/min), and at 20% exercise (464 +/- 32 vs. 386 +/- 28 ml/min; P < 0.01). Arterial epinephrine was higher during hypoxia (P < 0.01); however, venoarterial norepinephrine difference was similar between hypoxia and normoxia before (P = 0.47) and during tyramine administration (P = 0.14). Vasoconstriction to tyramine (%decrease from pretyramine values) was blunted in a dose-dependent manner with increasing exercise intensity (P < 0.01). Interestingly, vasoconstrictor responsiveness tended to be greater (P = 0.06) at rest (-37 +/- 6% vs. -33 +/- 6%), at 10% exercise (-27 +/- 5 vs. -22 +/- 4%), and at 20% exercise (-22 +/- 5 vs. -14 +/- 4%) between hypoxia and normoxia, respectively. Thus sympatholysis is not augmented by moderate hypoxia nor does it contribute to the increased blood flow during hypoxic exercise.  相似文献

Cardiovascular response to cycle exercise during and after pregnancy   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Our purpose was to determine if pregnancy alters the cardiovascular response to exercise. Thirty-nine women [29 +/- 4 (SD) yr], performed submaximal and maximal exercise cycle ergometry during pregnancy (antepartum, AP, 26 +/- 3 wk of gestation) and postpartum (PP, 8 +/- 2 wk). Neither maximal O2 uptake (VO2max) nor maximal heart rate (HR) was different AP and PP (VO2 = 1.91 +/- 0.32 and 1.83 +/- 0.31 l/min; HR = 182 +/- 8 and 184 +/- 7 beats/min, P greater than 0.05 for both). Cardiac output (Q, acetylene rebreathing technique) averaged 2.2 to 2.8 l/min higher AP (P less than 0.01) at rest and at each exercise work load. Increases in both HR and stroke volume (SV) contributed to the elevated Q at the lower exercise work loads, whereas an increased SV was primarily responsible for the higher Q at higher levels. The slope of the Q vs. VO2 relationship was not different AP and PP (6.15 +/- 1.32 and 6.18 +/- 1.34 l/min Q/l/min VO2, P greater than 0.05). In contrast, the arteriovenous O2 difference (a-vO2 difference) was lower at each exercise work load AP, suggesting that the higher Q AP was distributed to nonexercising vascular beds. We conclude that Q is greater and a-vO2 difference is less at all levels of exercise in pregnant subjects than in the same women postpartum but that the coupling of the increase in Q to the increase in systemic O2 demand (VO2) is not different.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

For 5 days, eight well-trained cyclists consumed a random order of a high-carbohydrate (CHO) diet (9.6 g. kg(-1). day(-1) CHO, 0.7 g. kg(-1). day(-1) fat; HCHO) or an isoenergetic high-fat diet (2.4 g. kg(-1). day(-1) CHO, 4 g. kg(-1). day(-1) fat; Fat-adapt) while undertaking supervised training. On day 6, subjects ingested high CHO and rested before performance testing on day 7 [2 h cycling at 70% maximal O(2) consumption (SS) + 7 kJ/kg time trial (TT)]. With Fat-adapt, 5 days of high-fat diet reduced respiratory exchange ratio (RER) during cycling at 70% maximal O(2) consumption; this was partially restored by 1 day of high CHO [0.90 +/- 0.01 vs. 0.82 +/- 0.01 (P < 0.05) vs. 0.87 +/- 0.01 (P < 0.05), for day 1, day 6, and day 7, respectively]. Corresponding RER values on HCHO trial were [0. 91 +/- 0.01 vs. 0.88 +/- 0.01 (P < 0.05) vs. 0.93 +/- 0.01 (P < 0.05)]. During SS, estimated fat oxidation increased [94 +/- 6 vs. 61 +/- 5 g (P < 0.05)], whereas CHO oxidation decreased [271 +/- 16 vs. 342 +/- 14 g (P < 0.05)] for Fat-adapt compared with HCHO. Tracer-derived estimates of plasma glucose uptake revealed no differences between treatments, suggesting muscle glycogen sparing accounted for reduced CHO oxidation. Direct assessment of muscle glycogen utilization showed a similar order of sparing (260 +/- 26 vs. 360 +/- 43 mmol/kg dry wt; P = 0.06). TT performance was 30.73 +/- 1.12 vs. 34.17 +/- 2.48 min for Fat-adapt and HCHO (P = 0.21). These data show significant metabolic adaptations with a brief period of high-fat intake, which persist even after restoration of CHO availability. However, there was no evidence of a clear benefit of fat adaptation to cycling performance.  相似文献

We compared the effects of exercise intensity (EI) on bone metabolism during and for 4 days after acute, weight-bearing endurance exercise. Ten males [mean ± SD maximum oxygen uptake (Vo(2max)): 56.2 ± 8.1 ml·min(-1)·kg(-1)] completed three counterbalanced 8-day trials. Following three control days, on day 4, subjects completed 60 min of running at 55%, 65%, and 75% Vo(2max). Markers of bone resorption [COOH-terminal telopeptide region of collagen type 1 (β-CTX)] and formation [NH(2)-terminal propeptides of procollagen type 1 (P1NP), osteocalcin (OC), bone-alkaline phosphatase (ALP)], osteoprotegerin (OPG), parathyroid hormone (PTH), albumin-adjusted calcium (ACa), phosphate (PO(4)), and cortisol were measured during and for 3 h after exercise and on four follow-up days (FU1-FU4). At 75% Vo(2max), β-CTX was not significantly increased from baseline by exercise but was higher compared with 55% (17-19%, P < 0.01) and 65% (11-13%, P < 0.05) Vo(2max) in the first hour postexercise. Concentrations were decreased from baseline in all three groups by 39-42% (P < 0.001) at 3 h postexercise but not thereafter. P1NP increased (P < 0.001) during exercise only, while bone-ALP was increased (P < 0.01) at FU3 and FU4, but neither were affected by EI. PTH and cortisol increased (P < 0.001) with exercise at 75% Vo(2max) only and were higher (P < 0.05) than at 55% and 65% Vo(2max) during and immediately after exercise. The increases (P < 0.001) in OPG, ACa, and PO(4) with exercise were not affected by EI. Increasing EI from 55% to 75% Vo(2max) during 60 min of running resulted in higher β-CTX concentrations in the first hour postexercise but had no effect on bone formation markers. Increased bone-ALP concentrations at 3 and 4 days postexercise suggest a beneficial effect of this type of exercise on bone mineralization. The increase in OPG was not influenced by exercise intensity, whereas PTH was increased at 75% Vo(2max) only, which cannot be fully explained by changes in serum calcium or PO(4) concentrations.  相似文献

This investigation determined the effect of different rates of dehydration, induced by ingesting different volumes of fluid during prolonged exercise, on hyperthermia, heart rate (HR), and stroke volume (SV). On four different occasions, eight endurance-trained cyclists [age 23 +/- 3 (SD) yr, body wt 71.9 +/- 11.6 kg, maximal O2 consumption 4.72 +/- 0.33 l/min] cycled at a power output equal to 62-67% maximal O2 consumption for 2 h in a warm environment (33 degrees C dry bulb, 50% relative humidity, wind speed 2.5 m/s). During exercise, they randomly received no fluid (NF) or ingested a small (SF), moderate (MF), or large (LF) volume of fluid that replaced 20 +/- 1, 48 +/- 1, and 81 +/- 2%, respectively, of the fluid lost in sweat during exercise. The protocol resulted in graded magnitudes of dehydration as body weight declined 4.2 +/- 0.1, 3.4 +/- 0.1, 2.3 +/- 0.1, and 1.1 +/- 0.1%, respectively, during NF, SF, MF, and LF. After 2 h of exercise, esophageal temperature (Tes), HR, and SV were significantly different among the four trials (P < 0.05), with the exception of NF and SF. The magnitude of dehydration accrued after 2 h of exercise in the four trials was linearly related with the increase in Tes (r = 0.98, P < 0.02), the increase in HR (r = 0.99, P < 0.01), and the decline in SV (r = 0.99, P < 0.01). LF attenuated hyperthermia, apparently because of higher skin blood flow, inasmuch as forearm blood flow was 20-22% higher than during SF and NF at 105 min (P < 0.05). There were no differences in sweat rate among the four trials. In each subject, the increase in Tes from 20 to 120 min of exercise was highly correlated to the increase in serum osmolality (r = 0.81-0.98, P < 0.02-0.19) and the increase in serum sodium concentration (r = 0.87-0.99, P < 0.01-0.13) from 5 to 120 min of exercise. In summary, the magnitude of increase in core temperature and HR and the decline in SV are graded in proportion to the amount of dehydration accrued during exercise.  相似文献

To investigate the relationship between dopamine (DA) released into the bloodstream and sympathoadrenal activity, levels of free DA, norepinephrine (NE), and epinephrine (E) in plasma were recorded in four dogs subjected to three tests: treadmill exercise at two work levels [55 and 75% maximal O2 uptake; 15 min], normobaric hypoxia (12% O2; 1 h), combined exercise and hypoxia. Normoxic exercise induced slight nonsignificant decreases in the arterial partial pressure of O2 (PaO2), increases in NE [median values and ranges during submaximal work vs. rest: 1086 (457-1,637) vs. 360 (221-646) pg/ml; P less than 0.01] and E [277 (151-461) vs. 166 (95-257) pg/ml; P less than 0.05], but it failed to alter the DA level. Hypoxia elicited large decreases in PaO2 [hypoxia vs. normoxia: 42.8 (40.3-50.0) vs. 97.6 (83.2-117.6) Torr; P less than 0.01], increases in DA [230 (105-352) vs. 150 (85-229) pg/ml; P less than 0.01] and NE [383 (219-1,165) vs. 358 (210-784) pg/ml; P less than 0.05], but it failed to alter the E level. Combined exercise and hypoxia further increased NE levels but did not alter the DA response to hypoxia alone. The data indicate that free DA in plasma may vary independently of the sympathoadrenal activity.  相似文献

Using a mid- to late-gestation ovine model of intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), we examined uteroplacental blood flow and fetal growth during melatonin supplementation as a 2 × 2 factorial design. At day 50 of gestation, 32 ewes were supplemented with 5 mg of melatonin (MEL) or no melatonin (CON) and were allocated to receive 100% [adequate; (ADQ)] or 60% [restricted (RES)] of nutrient requirements until day 130 of gestation. Umbilical artery blood flow was increased from day 60 to day 110 of gestation in MEL vs. CON dams, while umbilical artery blood flow was decreased from day 80 to day 110 of gestation in RES vs. ADQ dams. At day 130 of gestation, uteroplacental hemodynamics, measured under general anesthesia, and fetal growth were evaluated. Uterine artery blood flow was decreased in RES vs. ADQ dams, while melatonin supplementation did not affect uterine artery blood flow. Total placentome weight and placentome number were not different between treatment groups. Fetal weight was decreased by nutrient restriction. Abdominal girth and ponderal index were increased in fetuses from MEL-ADQ dams vs. all other groups. Fetal biparietal distance was decreased in CON-RES vs. CON-ADQ dams, while melatonin supplementation rescued fetal biparietal distance. Fetal kidney length and width were increased by maternal melatonin treatment. Fetal cardiomyocyte area was altered by both maternal melatonin treatment and nutritional plane. In summary, melatonin may negate the consequences of IUGR during specific abnormalities in umbilical blood flow as long as sufficient uterine blood perfusion is maintained during pregnancy.  相似文献

Previous work from our laboratory demonstrated that isometric handgrip (IHG) training improved local, endothelium-dependent vasodilation in medicated hypertensives [McGowan CL (PhD Thesis), 2006; McGowan et al. Physiologist 47: 285, 2004]. We investigated whether changes in the capacity of smooth muscle to dilate (regardless of endothelial factors) influenced this training-induced change, and we examined the acute vascular responses to a single bout of IHG. Seventeen subjects performed four 2-min unilateral IHG contractions at 30% of maximal voluntary effort, three times a week for 8 wk. Pre- and posttraining, brachial artery flow-mediated dilation (FMD, an index of endothelium-dependent vasodilation) and nitroglycerin-mediated maximal vasodilation (an index of endothelium-independent vasodilation) were measured in the exercised arm by using ultrasound before and immediately after acute IHG exercise. IHG training resulted in improved resting brachial FMD (P < 0.01) and no change in nitroglycerin-mediated maximal vasodilation. Pre- and posttraining, brachial artery FMD decreased following an acute bout of IHG exercise (normalized to peak shear rate, pre-, before IHG exercise: 0.01 +/- 0.002, after IHG exercise: 0.008 +/- 0.002%/s(-1); post-, before IHG exercise: 0.020 +/- 0.003, after IHG exercise: 0.010 +/- 0.003%/s(-1); P < 0.01). Posttraining, resting brachial artery FMD improved yet nitroglycerin-mediated maximal vasodilation was unchanged in persons medicated for hypertension. This suggests that the training-induced improvements in the resting brachial artery FMD were not due to underlying changes in the forearm vasculature. Acute IHG exercise attenuated brachial artery FMD, and although this impairment may be interpreted as hazardous to medicated hypertensives with already dysfunctional endothelium, the effects appear transient as repeated exposure to the IHG stimulus improved resting endothelium-dependent vasodilation.  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

The present study was conducted to determine the impact of suppressing trophoblast remodeling of the uterine spiral arteries by prematurely elevating estrogen levels in the first trimester of baboon pregnancy on uterine and umbilical blood flow dynamics. Uteroplacental blood flow was assessed by Doppler ultrasonography after acute administration of saline (basal state) and serotonin on days 60, 100, and 160 of gestation (term: 184 days) to baboons in which uterine spiral artery remodeling had been suppressed by the administration of estradiol on days 25-59 of gestation. Maternal blood pressure in the basal state was increased (P < 0.01), and uterine artery diastolic notching and the umbilical artery pulsatility index and systolic-to-diastolic ratio, reflecting downstream flow impedance, were increased (P < 0.01) after serotonin administration on day 160, but not earlier, in baboons treated with estradiol in early gestation. These changes in uteroplacental flow dynamics in serotonin-infused, estradiol-treated animals were accompanied by a decrease (P < 0.05) in uterine and umbilical artery volume flow and fetal bradycardia. The results of this study show that suppression of uterine artery remodeling by advancing the rise in estrogen from the second trimester to the first trimester disrupted uteroplacental blood flow dynamics and fetal homeostasis after vasochallenge late in primate pregnancy.  相似文献

This paper reports the effect of 12 mo of intense endurance exercise training on the plasma catecholamine response to exercise in 11 male patients [aged 50 +/- 8 yr (mean +/- SD)] with coronary artery disease. A substantial adaptation to training was attained as evidenced by a 42% increase in maximum O2 uptake capacity. At rest, heart rate was lower after training, but resting blood pressure and plasma catecholamines were unchanged. At the same absolute work rate, plasma norepinephrine and epinephrine levels, rate pressure product, and ischemic S-T segment depression were all significantly lower after training. A higher plasma norepinephrine level was attained at maximal exercise after training (2,049 +/- 654 before vs. 3,408 +/- 1,454 pg/ml after, P less than 0.025); this was associated with a higher systolic blood pressure (175 +/- 25 before vs. 188 +/- 22 mmHg after, P less than 0.025) and a higher rate-pressure product (25.3 X 10(3) +/- 4.5 X 10(3) before vs. 27.6 X 10(3) +/- 5.2 X 10(3) after, P less than 0.025). Despite the higher plasma norepinephrine level and rate pressure product, S-T segment depression at maximal exercise was unchanged. These findings suggest that some patients with coronary arterial disease can attain a higher myocardial O2 requirement, without electrocardiographic evidence of increased ischemia, after prolonged strenuous exercise training.  相似文献

The present study was designed to investigate the influence of exercise intensity and duration as well as of inspiratory oxygen content on plasma atrial natriuretic peptide concentration [( ANP]) and furthermore to compare ANP with the effect on aldosterone concentration [( Aldo]). Ten untrained male subjects performed a maximal exercise test (ME) on a cycle ergometer and a submaximal test of 60-min duration at 60% of maximal performance (SE) under normoxia (N) and normobaric hypoxia (H) (partial pressure of oxygen: 12.3 kPa). Five subjects were exposed to hypoxia at rest for 90 min. The [ANP] was mostly affected by exercise intensity (5 min after ME-N, +298.1%, SEM 39.1%) and less by exercise duration (at the end of SE-N: +229.5%, SEM 33.2%). Hypoxia had no effect at rest and reduced the exercise response (ME-H, +184.3%, SEM 27.2%; SE-H, +172.4%, SEM 15.7%). In contrast to ANP, the Aldo response was affected more by duration at submaximal level (+290.1%, SEM 34.0%) than by short maximal exercise (+235.7%, SEM 22.2%). Exposure to hypoxia rapidly decreased [Aldo] (-28.5%, SEM 3.7% after 30 min, P less than 0.01), but did not influence the exercise effects (ME-H, +206.2%, SEM 26.4%; SE-H, +321.6%, SEM 51.6%). The [ANP] increase was faster than that of [Aldo] during the maximal tests and there was no difference during submaximal exercise. Changes in plasma volume (PV), sodium concentration, and osmolality (Osm) were most pronounced during maximal exercise (for ME-N: PV -13.1%, SD 3.6%, sodium +6.2 mmol.l-1, SD 2.7, Osm +18.4 mosmol.kg H2O-1, SD 6.5). Regression analysis showed high correlations between changes in [ANP] and in Osm during and after maximal exercise and between changes in [ANP] and heart rate for submaximal exercise. It is concluded that besides other mechanisms increased Osm might be involved in the exercise-dependent increase of plasma [ANP].  相似文献

The effects of prior moderate- and prior heavy-intensity exercise on the subsequent metabolic response to incremental exercise were examined. Healthy, young adult subjects (n = 8) performed three randomized plantar-flexion exercise tests: 1) an incremental exercise test (approximately 0.6 W/min) to volitional fatigue (Ramp); 2) Ramp preceded by 6 min of moderate-intensity, constant-load exercise below the intracellular pH threshold (pHT; Mod-Ramp); and 3) Ramp preceded by 6 min of heavy-intensity, constant-load exercise above pHT (Hvy-Ramp); the constant-load and incremental exercise periods were separated by 6 min of rest. (31)P-magnetic resonance spectroscopy was used to continuously monitor intracellular pH, phosphocreatine concentration ([PCr]), and inorganic phosphate concentration ([P(i)]). No differences in exercise performance or the metabolic response to exercise were observed between Ramp and Mod-Ramp. However, compared with Ramp, a 14% (SD 10) increase (P < 0.01) in peak power output (PPO) was observed in Hvy-Ramp. The improved exercise performance in Hvy-Ramp was accompanied by a delayed (P = 0.01) onset of intracellular acidosis [Hvy-Ramp 60.4% PPO (SD 11.7) vs. Ramp 45.8% PPO (SD 9.4)] and a delayed (P < 0.01) onset of rapid increases in [P(i)]/[PCr] [Hvy-Ramp 61.5% PPO (SD 12.0) vs. Ramp 45.1% PPO (SD 9.1)]. In conclusion, prior heavy-intensity exercise delayed the onset of intracellular acidosis and enhanced exercise performance during a subsequent incremental exercise test.  相似文献

To test the hypothesis that sex influences forearm blood flow (FBF) during exercise, 15 women and 16 men of similar age [women 24.3 +/- 4.0 (SD) vs. men 24.9 +/- 4.5 yr] but different forearm muscle strength (women 290.7 +/- 44.4 vs. men 509.6 +/- 97.8 N; P < 0.05) performed dynamic handgrip exercise as the same absolute workload was increased in a ramp function (0.25 W/min). Task failure was defined as the inability to maintain contraction rate. Blood pressure and FBF were measured on separate arms during exercise by auscultation and Doppler ultrasound, respectively. Muscle strength was positively correlated with endurance time (r = 0.72, P < 0.01) such that women had a shorter time to task failure than men (450.5 +/- 113.0 vs. 831.3 +/- 272.9 s; P < 0.05). However, the percentage of maximal handgrip strength achieved at task failure was similar between sexes (14% maximum voluntary contraction). FBF was similar between women and men throughout exercise and at task failure (women 13.6 +/- 5.3 vs. men 14.5 +/- 4.9 ml.min(-1).100 ml(-1)). Mean arterial pressure was lower in women at rest and during exercise; thus calculated forearm vascular conductance (FVC) was higher in women during exercise but similar between sexes at task failure (women 0.13 +/- 0.05 vs. men 0.11 +/- 0.04 ml.min(-1).100 ml(-1).mmHg(-1)). In conclusion, the similar FBF during exercise was achieved by a higher FVC in the presence of a lower MAP in women than men. Still, FBF remained coupled to work rate (and presumably metabolic demand) during exercise irrespective of sex.  相似文献

The effect of beta-adrenergic receptor blockade on exercise-induced lipid peroxidation in man has been examined by measuring the production of pentane in expired air. For this purpose, five healthy male subjects were subjected to dynamic exercise of graded intensity on a cycle ergometer (10 min at 45%, 5 min at 60% and 75% maximal oxygen uptake 1 h after ingestion of either a placebo or 40-mg propranolol. At rest, mean pentane concentration [( pent]) with placebo was 4.13 pmol.l-1, SD 2.14. After exercise, this value significantly increased by 310% (17.1 pmol.l-1, SD 7.73, P less than 0.01). Oral administration of 40-mg propranolol significantly lowered the mean resting [pent] to 1.75 pmol.l-1, SD 0.77, P less than 0.05. After exercise, the increase of [pent] was much smaller (240%) and was less significant (P less than 0.2) than with the placebo. The mechanism of this inhibitory effect of propranolol remains to be elucidated. However, as indicated by the measurement of plasma myeloperoxidase concentration, it can be concluded that the antioxidant property of propranolol cannot be attributed to the inhibition of neutrophil activation, a possible source of free radicals during exercise.  相似文献

Nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability is important in vascular health, but unsuitable as a clinical measure due to biological oxidation. Total nitrogen oxides (NO(x)) are stable but background nitrate levels make it difficult to detect disease-based variation. We investigated the clinical discriminatory value of NO(x) as it relates to exercise capability (VO(2peak)) and brachial artery reactivity (BAR, an NO-dependent measure of endothelial health), in healthy (H), increased risk (RF), and known cardiovascular disease (CVD) subjects. BAR was measured using forearm occlusion/hyperemia stimulus. Subjects performed a maximal graded exercise test (GXT). Blood at rest, exercise termination, and 10 min into recovery was mixed equally with 0.1 M NaOH at 4 degrees C, filtered, and stored at -70 degrees C. NO(x) was measured by chemiluminescence. Seven of the RF group then exercise-trained for 6 months prior to retesting. The H group (n = 12) was younger, had higher VO(2peak), HDL levels, and baseline NO(x) values than the RF (n = 15) and CVD (n = 10) groups. NO(x) increased from baseline to recovery in the H group only (75.85 +/- 19.04 microM vs 97.76 +/- 31.93 microM; P 相似文献
