During wakefulness, increases in the partial pressure of arterial CO(2) result in marked rises in cortical blood flow. However, during stage III-IV, non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep, and despite a relative state of hypercapnia, cortical blood flow is reduced compared with wakefulness. In the present study, we tested the hypothesis that, in normal subjects, hypercapnic cerebral vascular reactivity is decreased during stage III-IV NREM sleep compared with wakefulness. A 2-MHz pulsed Doppler ultrasound system was used to measure the left middle cerebral artery velocity (MCAV; cm/s) in 12 healthy individuals while awake and during stage III-IV NREM sleep. The end-tidal Pco(2) (Pet(CO(2))) was elevated during the awake and sleep states by regulating the inspired CO(2) load. The cerebral vascular reactivity to CO(2) was calculated from the relationship between Pet(CO(2)) and MCAV by using linear regression. From wakefulness to sleep, the Pet(CO(2)) increased by 3.4 Torr (P < 0.001) and the MCAV fell by 11.7% (P < 0.001). A marked decrease in cerebral vascular reactivity was noted in all subjects, with an average fall of 70.1% (P = 0.001). This decrease in hypercapnic cerebral vascular reactivity may, at least in part, explain the stage III-IV NREM sleep-related reduction in cortical blood flow. 相似文献

Although the cerebrovasculature is known to be exquisitely sensitive to CO(2), there is no consensus on whether the sympathetic nervous system plays a role in regulating cerebrovascular responses to changes in arterial CO(2). To address this question, we investigated human cerebrovascular CO(2) reactivity in healthy participants randomly assigned to the α(1)-adrenoreceptor blockade group (9 participants; oral prazosin, 0.05 mg/kg) or the placebo control (9 participants) group. We recorded mean arterial blood pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR), mean middle cerebral artery flow velocity (MCA(V mean)), and partial pressure of end-tidal CO(2) (Pet(CO(2))) during 5% CO(2) inhalation and voluntary hyperventilation. CO(2) reactivity was quantified as the slope of the linear relationship between breath-to-breath Pet(CO(2)) and the average MCAv(mean) within successive breathes after accounting for MAP as a covariate. Prazosin did not alter resting HR, Pet(CO(2)), MAP, or MCA(V mean). The reduction in hypocapnic CO(2) reactivity following prazosin (-0.48 ± 0.093 cm·s(-1)·mmHg(-1)) was greater compared with placebo (-0.19 ± 0.087 cm·s(-1)·mmHg(-1); P < 0.05 for interaction). In contrast, the change in hypercapnic CO(2) reactivity following prazosin (-0.23 cm·s(-1)·mmHg(-1)) was similar to placebo (-0.31 cm·s(-1)·mmHg(-1); P = 0.50 for interaction). These data indicate that the sympathetic nervous system contributes to CO(2) reactivity via α(1)-adrenoreceptors; blocking this pathway with prazosin reduces CO(2) reactivity to hypocapnia but not hypercapnia. 相似文献

End-tidal carbon dioxide tension (Pet(CO(2))) is reduced during an orthostatic challenge, during heat stress, and during a combination of these two conditions. The importance of these changes is dependent on Pet(CO(2)) being an accurate surrogate for arterial carbon dioxide tension (Pa(CO(2))), the latter being the physiologically relevant variable. This study tested the hypothesis that Pet(CO(2)) provides an accurate assessment of Pa(CO(2)) during the aforementioned conditions. Comparisons between these measures were made: 1) after two levels of heat stress (N = 11); 2) during combined heat stress and simulated hemorrhage [via lower-body negative pressure (LBNP), N = 8]; and 3) during an end-tidal clamping protocol to attenuate heat stress-induced reductions in Pet(CO(2)) (N = 7). Pet(CO(2)) and Pa(CO(2)) decreased during heat stress (P < 0.001); however, there was no group difference between Pa(CO(2)) and Pet(CO(2)) (P = 0.36) nor was there a significant interaction between thermal condition and measurement technique (P = 0.06). To verify that this nonsignificant trend for the interaction was not due to a type II error, Pet(CO(2)) and Pa(CO(2)) at three distinct thermal conditions were also compared using paired t-tests, revealing no difference between Pa(CO(2)) and Pet(CO(2)) while normothermic (P = 0.14) and following a 1.0 ± 0.2°C (P = 0.21) and 1.4 ± 0.2°C (P = 0.28) increase in internal temperature. During LBNP while heat stressed, measures of Pet(CO(2)) and Pa(CO(2)) were similar (P = 0.61). Likewise, during the end-tidal carbon dioxide clamping protocol, the increases in Pet(CO(2)) (7.5 ± 2.8 mmHg) and Pa(CO(2)) (6.6 ± 3.4 mmHg) were similar (P = 0.31). These data indicate that mean Pet(CO(2)) reflects mean Pa(CO(2)) during the evaluated conditions. 相似文献

We examined the relationship between changes in cardiorespiratory and cerebrovascular function in 14 healthy volunteers with and without hypoxia [arterial O(2) saturation (Sa(O(2))) approximately 80%] at rest and during 60-70% maximal oxygen uptake steady-state cycling exercise. During all procedures, ventilation, end-tidal gases, heart rate (HR), arterial blood pressure (BP; Finometer) cardiac output (Modelflow), muscle and cerebral oxygenation (near-infrared spectroscopy), and middle cerebral artery blood flow velocity (MCAV; transcranial Doppler ultrasound) were measured continuously. The effect of hypoxia on dynamic cerebral autoregulation was assessed with transfer function gain and phase shift in mean BP and MCAV. At rest, hypoxia resulted in increases in ventilation, progressive hypocapnia, and general sympathoexcitation (i.e., elevated HR and cardiac output); these responses were more marked during hypoxic exercise (P < 0.05 vs. rest) and were also reflected in elevation of the slopes of the linear regressions of ventilation, HR, and cardiac output with Sa(O(2)) (P < 0.05 vs. rest). MCAV was maintained during hypoxic exercise, despite marked hypocapnia (44.1 +/- 2.9 to 36.3 +/- 4.2 Torr; P < 0.05). Conversely, hypoxia both at rest and during exercise decreased cerebral oxygenation compared with muscle. The low-frequency phase between MCAV and mean BP was lowered during hypoxic exercise, indicating impairment in cerebral autoregulation. These data indicate that increases in cerebral neurogenic activity and/or sympathoexcitation during hypoxic exercise can potentially outbalance the hypocapnia-induced lowering of MCAV. Despite maintaining MCAV, such hypoxic exercise can potentially compromise cerebral autoregulation and oxygenation. 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

Clinical transcranial Doppler assessment of cerebral vasomotor reactivity (CVMR) uses linear regression of cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFV) vs. end-tidal CO(2) (Pet(CO(2))) under steady-state conditions. However, the cerebral blood flow (CBF)-Pet(CO(2)) relationship is nonlinear, even for moderate changes in CO(2). Moreover, CBF is increased by increases in arterial blood pressure (ABP) during hypercapnia. We used a modified rebreathing protocol to estimate CVMR during transient breath-by-breath changes in CBFV and Pet(CO(2)). Ten healthy subjects (6 men) performed 15 s of hyperventilation followed by 5 min of rebreathing, with supplemental O(2) to maintain arterial oxygen saturation constant. To minimize effects of changes in ABP on CVMR estimation, cerebrovascular conductance index (CVCi) was calculated. CBFV-Pet(CO(2)) and CVCi-Pet(CO(2)) relationships were quantified by both linear and nonlinear logistic regression. In three subjects, muscle sympathetic nerve activity was recorded. From hyperventilation to rebreathing, robust changes occurred in Pet(CO(2)) (20-61 Torr), CBFV (-44 to +104% of baseline), CVCi (-39 to +64%), and ABP (-19 to +23%) (all P < 0.01). Muscle sympathetic nerve activity increased by 446% during hypercapnia. The linear regression slope of CVCi vs. Pet(CO(2)) was less steep than that of CBFV (3 vs. 5%/Torr; P = 0.01). Logistic regression of CBF-Pet(CO(2)) (r(2) = 0.97) and CVCi-Pet(CO(2)) (r(2) = 0.93) was superior to linear regression (r(2) = 0.91, r(2) = 0.85; P = 0.01). CVMR was maximal (6-8%/Torr) for Pet(CO(2)) of 40-50 Torr. In conclusion, CBFV and CVCi responses to transient changes in Pet(CO(2)) can be described by a nonlinear logistic function, indicating that CVMR estimation varies within the range from hypocapnia to hypercapnia. Furthermore, quantification of the CVCi-Pet(CO(2)) relationship may minimize the effects of changes in ABP on the estimation of CVMR. The method developed provides insight into CVMR under transient breath-by-breath changes in CO(2). 相似文献

In humans, cerebrovascular responses to alterations in arterial Pco(2) and Po(2) are well documented. However, few studies have investigated human coronary vascular responses to alterations in blood gases. This study investigated the extent to which the cerebral and coronary vasculatures differ in their responses to euoxic hypercapnia and isocapnic hypoxia in healthy volunteers. Participants (n = 15) were tested at rest on two occasions. On the first visit, middle cerebral artery blood velocity (V(P)) was assessed using transcranial Doppler ultrasound. On the second visit, coronary sinus blood flow (CSBF) was measured using cardiac MRI. For comparison with V(P), CSBF was normalized to the rate pressure product [an index of myocardial oxygen consumption; normalized (n)CSBF]. Both testing sessions began with 5 min of euoxic [end-tidal Po(2) (Pet(O(2))) = 88 Torr] isocapnia [end-tidal Pco(2) (Pet(CO(2))) = +1 Torr above resting values]. Pet(O(2)) was next held at 88 Torr, and Pet(CO(2)) was increased to 40 and 45 Torr in 5-min increments. Participants were then returned to euoxic isocapnia for 5 min, after which Pet(O(2)) was decreased from 88 to 60, 52 and 45 Torr in 5-min decrements. Changes in V(P) and nCSBF were normalized to isocapnic euoxic conditions and indexed against Pet(CO(2)) and arterial oxyhemoglobin saturation. The V(P) gain for euoxic hypercapnia (%/Torr) was significantly higher than nCSBF (P = 0.030). Conversely, the V(P) gain for isocapnic hypoxia (%/%desaturation) was not different from nCSBF (P = 0.518). These findings demonstrate, compared with coronary circulation, that the cerebral circulation is more sensitive to hypercapnia but similarly sensitive to hypoxia. 相似文献

Reductions in end-tidal Pco(2) (Pet(CO(2))) during upright posture have been suggested to be the result of hyperventilation and the cause of decreases in cerebral blood flow (CBF). The goal of this study was to determine whether decreases in Pet(CO(2)) reflected decreases in arterial Pco(2) (Pa(CO(2))) and their relation to increases in alveolar ventilation (Va) and decreases in CBF. Fifteen healthy subjects (10 women and 5 men) were subjected to a 10-min head-up tilt (HUT) protocol. Pa(CO(2)), Va, and cerebral flow velocity (CFV) in the middle and anterior cerebral arteries were examined. In 12 subjects who completed the protocol, reductions in Pet(CO(2)) and Pa(CO(2)) (-1.7 +/- 0.5 and -1.1 +/- 0.4 mmHg, P < 0.05) during minute 1 of HUT were associated with a significant increase in Va (+0.7 +/- 0.3 l/min, P < 0.05). However, further decreases in Pa(CO(2)) (-0.5 +/- 0.5 mmHg, P < 0.05), from minute 1 to the last minute of HUT, occurred even though Va did not change significantly (-0.2 +/- 0.3 l/min, P = not significant). Similarly, CFV in the middle and anterior cerebral arteries decreased (-7 +/- 2 and -8 +/- 2%, P < 0.05) from minute 1 to the last minute of HUT, despite minimal changes in Pa(CO(2)). These data suggest that decreases in Pet(CO(2)) and Pa(CO(2)) during upright posture are not solely due to increased Va but could be due to ventilation-perfusion mismatch or a redistribution of CO(2) stores. Furthermore, the reduction in Pa(CO(2)) did not fully explain the decrease in CFV throughout HUT. These data suggest that factors in addition to a reduction in Pa(CO(2)) play a role in the CBF response to orthostatic stress. 相似文献

We assessed the convergent validity of commonly applied metrics of cerebral autoregulation (CA) to determine the extent to which the metrics can be used interchangeably. To examine between-subject relationships among low-frequency (LF; 0.07-0.2 Hz) and very-low-frequency (VLF; 0.02-0.07 Hz) transfer function coherence, phase, gain, and normalized gain, we performed retrospective transfer function analysis on spontaneous blood pressure and middle cerebral artery blood velocity recordings from 105 individuals. We characterized the relationships (n = 29) among spontaneous transfer function metrics and the rate of regulation index and autoregulatory index derived from bilateral thigh-cuff deflation tests. In addition, we analyzed data from subjects (n = 29) who underwent a repeated squat-to-stand protocol to determine the relationships between transfer function metrics during forced blood pressure fluctuations. Finally, data from subjects (n = 16) who underwent step changes in end-tidal Pco(2) (Pet(CO(2))) were analyzed to determine whether transfer function metrics could reliably track the modulation of CA within individuals. CA metrics were generally unrelated or showed only weak to moderate correlations. Changes in Pet(CO(2)) were positively related to coherence [LF: β = 0.0065 arbitrary units (AU)/mmHg and VLF: β = 0.011 AU/mmHg, both P < 0.01] and inversely related to phase (LF: β = -0.026 rad/mmHg and VLF: β = -0.018 rad/mmHg, both P < 0.01) and normalized gain (LF: β = -0.042%/mmHg(2) and VLF: β = -0.013%/mmHg(2), both P < 0.01). However, Pet(CO(2)) was positively associated with gain (LF: β = 0.0070 cm·s(-1)·mmHg(-2), P < 0.05; and VLF: β = 0.014 cm·s(-1)·mmHg(-2), P < 0.01). Thus, during changes in Pet(CO(2)), LF phase was inversely related to LF gain (β = -0.29 cm·s(-1)·mmHg(-1)·rad(-1), P < 0.01) but positively related to LF normalized gain (β = 1.3% mmHg(-1)/rad, P < 0.01). These findings collectively suggest that only select CA metrics can be used interchangeably and that interpretation of these measures should be done cautiously. 相似文献

Cognitive and/or sensorimotor stimulations of the brain induce increases in cerebral blood flow that are usually associated with increased metabolic demand. We tested the hypothesis that changes in arterial blood pressure (ABP) and arterial Pco(2) also take place during brain activation protocols designed to induce hemispheric lateralization, leading to a pressure-autoregulatory response in addition to the metabolic-driven changes usually assumed by brain stimulation paradigms. Continuous recordings of cerebral blood flow velocity [CBFV; bilateral, middle cerebral artery (MCA)], ABP, ECG, and end-tidal Pco(2) (Pet(CO(2))) were performed in 15 right-handed healthy subjects (aged 21-43 yr), in the seated position, at rest and during 10 repeated presentations of a word generation and a constructional puzzle paradigm that are known to induce differential cortical activation. Derived variables included heart rate, cerebrovascular resistance, critical closing pressure, resistance area product, and the difference between the right and left MCA recordings (CBFV(R-L)). No adaptation of the CBFV(R-L) difference was detected for the repeated presentation of 10 activation tasks, for either paradigm. During activation with the word generation tasks, CBFV changed by (mean +/- SD) 9.0 +/- 3.7% (right MCA, P = 0.0007) and by 12.3 +/- 7.6% (left MCA, P = 0.0007), ABP by 7.7 +/- 6.0 mmHg (P = 0.0007), heart rate by 7.1 +/- 5.3 beats/min (P = 0.0008), and Pet(CO(2)) by -2.32 +/- 2.23 Torr (P = 0.002). For the puzzle paradigm, CBFV changed by 13.9 +/- 6.6% (right MCA, P = 0.0007) and by 11.5 +/- 6.2% (left MCA, P = 0.0007), ABP by 7.1 +/- 8.4 mmHg (P = 0.0054), heart rate by 7.9 +/- 4.6 beats/min (P = 0.0008), and Pet(CO(2)) by -2.42 +/- 2.59 Torr (P = 0.001). The word paradigm led to greater left hemispheric dominance than the right hemispheric dominance observed with the puzzle paradigm (P = 0.004). We concluded that significant changes in ABP and Pet(CO(2)) levels occur during brain activation protocols, and these contribute to the evoked change in CBFV. A pressure-autoregulatory response can be observed in addition to the hemodynamic changes induced by increases in metabolic demand. Simultaneous changes in Pco(2) and heart rate add to the complexity of the response, indicating the need for more detailed modeling and better understanding of brain activation paradigms. 相似文献

To investigate the temporal variability of dynamic cerebral autoregulation (CA), the transient response of cerebral blood flow to rapid changes in arterial blood pressure, a new approach was introduced to improve the temporal resolution of dynamic CA assessment. Continuous bilateral recordings of cerebral blood flow velocity (transcranial Doppler, middle cerebral artery), end-tidal Pco(2) (Pet(CO(2)), infrared capnograph), and blood pressure (Finapres) were obtained at rest and during breath hold in 30 young subjects (25 ± 6 yr old) and 30 older subjects (64 ± 4 yr old). Time-varying estimates of the autoregulation index [ARI(t)] were obtained with an autoregressive-moving average model with coefficients expanded by orthogonal decomposition. The temporal pattern of ARI(t) varied inversely with Pet(CO(2)), decreasing with hypercapnia. At rest, ARI(t) showed spontaneous fluctuations that were significantly different from noise and significantly correlated with spontaneous fluctuations in Pet(CO(2)) in the majority of recordings (young: 72% and old: 65%). No significant differences were found in ARI(t) due to aging. This new approach to improve the temporal resolution of dynamic CA parameters allows the identification of physiologically meaningful fluctuations in dynamic CA efficiency at rest and in response to changes in arterial CO(2). 相似文献

The effects of orthostatic stress, induced by lower body negative pressure (LBNP), on cerebral hemodynamics were examined in a nonlinear context. Spontaneous fluctuations of beat-to-beat mean arterial blood pressure (MABP) in the finger, mean cerebral blood flow velocity (MCBFV) in the middle cerebral artery, as well as breath-by-breath end-tidal CO2 concentration (P(ET(CO2))) were measured continuously in 10 healthy subjects under resting conditions and during graded LBNP to presyncope. A two-input nonlinear Laguerre-Volterra network model was employed to study the dynamic effects of MABP and P(ET(CO2)) changes, as well as their nonlinear interactions, on MCBFV variations in the very low (VLF; below 0.04 Hz), low (LF; 0.04-0.15 Hz), and high frequency (HF; 0.15-0.30 Hz) ranges. Dynamic cerebral autoregulation was described by the model terms corresponding to MABP, whereas cerebral vasomotor reactivity was described by the model P(ET(CO2)) terms. The nonlinear model terms reduced the output prediction normalized mean square error substantially (by 15-20%) and had a prominent effect in the VLF range, both under resting conditions and during LBNP. Whereas MABP fluctuations dominated in the HF range and played a significant role in the VLF and LF ranges, changes in P(ET(CO2)) accounted for a considerable fraction of the VLF and LF MCBFV variations, especially at high LBNP levels. The magnitude of the linear and nonlinear MABP-MCBFV Volterra kernels increased substantially above -30 mmHg LBNP in the VLF range, implying impaired dynamic autoregulation. In contrast, the magnitude of the P(ET(CO2))-MCBFV kernels reduced during LBNP at all frequencies, suggesting attenuated cerebral vasomotor reactivity under dynamic conditions. We speculate that these changes may reflect a progressively reduced cerebrovascular reserve to compensate for the increasingly unstable systemic circulation during orthostatic stress that could ultimately lead to cerebral hypoperfusion and syncope. 相似文献

We sought to describe cerebrovascular responses to incremental exercise and test the hypothesis that changes in cerebral oxygenation influence maximal performance. Eleven men cycled in three conditions: 1) sea level (SL); 2) acute hypoxia [AH; hypobaric chamber, inspired Po(2) (Pi(O(2))) 86 Torr]; and 3) chronic hypoxia [CH; 4,300 m, Pi(O(2)) 86 Torr]. At maximal work rate (W(max)), fraction of inspired oxygen (Fi(O(2))) was surreptitiously increased to 0.60, while subjects were encouraged to continue pedaling. Changes in cerebral (frontal lobe) (C(OX)) and muscle (vastus lateralis) oxygenation (M(OX)) (near infrared spectroscopy), middle cerebral artery blood flow velocity (MCA V(mean); transcranial Doppler), and end-tidal Pco(2) (Pet(CO(2))) were analyzed across %W(max) (significance at P < 0.05). At SL, Pet(CO(2)), MCA V(mean), and C(OX) fell as work rate rose from 75 to 100% W(max). During AH, Pet(CO(2)) and MCA V(mean) declined from 50 to 100% W(max), while C(OX) fell from rest. With CH, Pet(CO(2)) and C(OX) dropped throughout exercise, while MCA V(mean) fell only from 75 to 100% W(max). M(OX) fell from rest to 75% W(max) at SL and AH and throughout exercise in CH. The magnitude of fall in C(OX), but not M(OX), was different between conditions (CH > AH > SL). Fi(O(2)) 0.60 at W(max) did not prolong exercise at SL, yet allowed subjects to continue for 96 +/- 61 s in AH and 162 +/- 90 s in CH. During Fi(O(2)) 0.60, C(OX) rose and M(OX) remained constant as work rate increased. Thus cerebral hypoxia appeared to impose a limit to maximal exercise during hypobaric hypoxia (Pi(O(2)) 86 Torr), since its reversal was associated with improved performance. 相似文献

Previous studies have suggested that a reduction in cerebral oxygen delivery may limit motor drive, particularly in hypoxic conditions, where oxygen transport is impaired. We hypothesized that raising end-tidal Pco(2) (Pet(CO(2))) during incremental exercise would increase cerebral blood flow (CBF) and oxygen delivery, thereby improving peak power output (W(peak)). Amateur cyclists performed two ramped exercise tests (25 W/min) in a counterbalanced order to compare the normal, poikilocapnic response against a clamped condition, in which Pet(CO(2)) was held at 50 Torr throughout exercise. Tests were performed in normoxia (barometric pressure = 630 mmHg, 1,650 m) and hypoxia (barometric pressure = 425 mmHg, 4,875 m) in a hypobaric chamber. An additional trial in hypoxia investigated effects of clamping at a lower Pet(CO(2)) (40 Torr) from ~75 to 100% W(peak) to reduce potential influences of respiratory acidosis and muscle fatigue imposed by clamping Pet(CO(2)) at 50 Torr. Metabolic gases, ventilation, middle cerebral artery CBF velocity (transcranial Doppler), forehead pulse oximetry, and cerebral (prefrontal) and muscle (vastus lateralis) hemoglobin oxygenation (near infrared spectroscopy) were monitored across trials. Clamping Pet(CO(2)) at 50 Torr in both normoxia (n = 9) and hypoxia (n = 11) elevated CBF velocity (~40%) and improved cerebral hemoglobin oxygenation (~15%), but decreased W(peak) (6%) and peak oxygen consumption (11%). Clamping at 40 Torr near maximal effort in hypoxia (n = 6) also improved cerebral oxygenation (~15%), but again limited W(peak) (5%). These findings demonstrate that increasing mass cerebral oxygen delivery via CO(2)-mediated vasodilation does not improve incremental exercise performance, at least when accompanied by respiratory acidosis. 相似文献

Cerebrovascular reactivity and hypercapnic respiratory drive in diabetic autonomic neuropathy. 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Because abnormalities in cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR) in subjects with long-term diabetes could partly be ascribed to autonomic neuropathy and related to central chemosensitivity, CVR and the respiratory drive output during progressive hypercapnia were studied in 15 diabetic patients without (DAN-) and 30 with autonomic neuropathy (DAN+), of whom 15 had postural hypotension (PH) (DAN+PH+) and 15 did not (DAN+PH-), and in 15 control (C) subjects. During CO(2) rebreathing, changes in occlusion pressure and minute ventilation were assessed, and seven subjects in each group had simultaneous measurements of the middle cerebral artery mean blood velocity (MCAV) by transcranial Doppler. The respiratory output to CO(2) was greater in DAN+PH+ than in DAN+PH- and DAN- (P < 0.01), whereas a reduced chemosensitivity was found in DAN+PH- (P < 0.05 vs. C). MCAV increased linearly with the end-tidal PCO(2) (PET(CO(2))) in DAN+PH- but less than in C and DAN- (P < 0.01). In contrast, DAN+PH+ showed an exponential increment in MCAV with PET(CO(2)) mainly >55 Torr. Thus CVR was lower in DAN+ than in C at PET(CO(2)) <55 Torr (P < 0.01), whereas it was greater in DAN+PH+ than in DAN+PH- (P < 0.01) and DAN- (P < 0.05) at PET(CO(2)) >55 Torr. CVR and occlusion pressure during hypercapnia were correlated only in DAN+ (r = 0.91, P < 0.001). We conclude that, in diabetic patients with autonomic neuropathy, CVR to CO(2) is reduced or increased according to the severity of dysautonomy and intensity of stimulus and appears to modulate the hypercapnic respiratory drive. 相似文献

We determined the effects of specific carotid body chemoreceptor inhibition on the propensity for apnea during sleep. We reduced the responsiveness of the carotid body chemoreceptors using intravenous dopamine infusions during non-rapid eye movement sleep in six dogs. Then we quantified the difference in end-tidal Pco(2) (Pet(CO(2))) between eupnea and the apneic threshold, the "CO(2) reserve," by gradually reducing Pet(CO(2)) transiently with pressure support ventilation at progressively increased tidal volume until apnea occurred. Dopamine infusions decreased steady-state eupneic ventilation by 15 +/- 6%, causing a mean CO(2) retention of 3.9 +/- 1.9 mmHg and a brief period of ventilatory instability. The apneic threshold Pet(CO(2)) rose 5.1 +/- 1.9 Torr; thus the CO(2) reserve was narrowed from -3.9 +/- 0.62 Torr in control to -2.7 +/- 0.78 Torr with dopamine. This decrease in the CO(2) reserve with dopamine resulted solely from the 20.5 +/- 11.3% increase in plant gain; the slope of the ventilatory response to CO(2) below eupnea was unchanged from normal. We conclude that specific carotid chemoreceptor inhibition with dopamine increases the propensity for apnea during sleep by narrowing the CO(2) reserve below eupnea. This narrowing is due solely to an increase in plant gain as the slope of the ventilatory response to CO(2) below eupnea was unchanged from normal control. These findings have implications for the role of chemoreceptor inhibition/stimulation in the genesis of apnea and breathing periodicity during sleep. 相似文献

Hypoxia during exercise augments blood flow in active muscles to maintain the delivery of O(2) at normoxic levels. However, the impact of hyperoxia on skeletal muscle blood flow during exercise is not completely understood. Therefore, we tested the hypothesis that the hyperemic response to forearm exercise during hyperbaric hyperoxia would be blunted compared with exercise during normoxia. Seven subjects (6 men/1 woman; 25 ± 1 yr) performed forearm exercise (20% of maximum) under normoxic and hyperoxic conditions. Forearm blood flow (FBF; in ml/min) was measured using Doppler ultrasound. Forearm vascular conductance (FVC; in ml·min(-1)·100 mmHg(-1)) was calculated from FBF and blood pressure (in mmHg; brachial arterial catheter). Studies were performed in a hyperbaric chamber with the subjects supine at 1 atmospheres absolute (ATA) (sea level) while breathing normoxic gas [21% O(2), 1 ATA; inspired Po(2) (Pi(O(2))) ≈ 150 mmHg] and at 2.82 ATA while breathing hyperbaric normoxic (7.4% O(2), 2.82 ATA, Pi(O(2)) ≈ 150 mmHg) and hyperoxic (100% O(2), 2.82 ATA, Pi(O(2)) ≈ 2,100 mmHg) gas. Resting FBF and FVC were less during hyperbaric hyperoxia compared with hyperbaric normoxia (P < 0.05). The change in FBF and FVC (Δ from rest) during exercise under normoxia (204 ± 29 ml/min and 229 ± 37 ml·min(-1)·100 mmHg(-1), respectively) and hyperbaric normoxia (203 ± 28 ml/min and 217 ± 35 ml·min(-1)·100 mmHg(-1), respectively) did not differ (P = 0.66-0.99). However, the ΔFBF (166 ± 21 ml/min) and ΔFVC (163 ± 23 ml·min(-1)·100 mmHg(-1)) during hyperbaric hyperoxia were substantially attenuated compared with other conditions (P < 0.01). Our data suggest that exercise hyperemia in skeletal muscle is highly dependent on oxygen availability during hyperoxia. 相似文献

Physiological dead space (Vds), end-tidal CO(2) (Pet(CO(2))), and arterial CO(2) (Pa(CO(2))) were measured at 1 and 2.8 ATA in a dry hyperbaric chamber in 10 older (58-74 yr) and 10 younger (19-39 yr) air-breathing subjects during rest and two levels of upright exercise on a cycle ergometer. At pressure, Vd (liters btps) increased from 0.34 +/- 0.09 (mean +/- SD of all subjects for normally distributed data, median +/- interquartile range otherwise) to 0.40 +/- 0.09 (P = 0.0060) at rest, 0.35 +/- 0.13 to 0.45 +/- 0.11 (P = 0.0003) during light exercise, and 0.38 +/- 0.17 to 0.45 +/- 0.13 (P = 0.0497) during heavier exercise. During these conditions, Pa(CO(2)) (Torr) increased from 33.8 +/- 4.2 to 35.7 +/- 4.4 (P = 0.0059), 35.3 +/- 3.2 to 39.4 +/- 3.1 (P < 0.0001), and 29.6 +/- 5.6 to 37.4 +/- 6.5 (P < 0.0001), respectively. During exercise, Pet(CO(2)) overestimated Pa(CO(2)), although the absolute difference was less at pressure. Capnography poorly estimated Pa(CO(2)) during exercise at 1 and 2.8 ATA because of wide variability. Older subjects had higher Vd at 1 ATA but similar changes in Vd, Pa(CO(2)), and Pet(CO(2)) at pressure. These results are consistent with an effect of increased gas density. 相似文献

Blood flow and vasodilatory responses are altered by age in a number of vascular beds, including the cerebral circulation. To test the role of prostaglandins as regulators of cerebral vascular function, we examined cerebral vasodilator responses to CO(2) (cerebrovascular reactivity) in young (26 ± 5 yr; 6 males/6 females) and older (65 ± 6 yr, 5 males/5 females) healthy humans before and after cyclooxygenase inhibition (using indomethacin). Middle cerebral artery velocity (MCAv) responses to stepped hypercapnia were measured before and 90 min after indomethacin. Changes in MCAv during the recovery from hypercapnia (vasoconstrictor responses) were also evaluated before and after indomethacin. Cerebrovascular reactivity was calculated using linear regression between MCAv and end-tidal CO(2). Young adults demonstrated greater MCAv (55 ± 6 vs. 39 ± 5 cm/s: P < 0.05) and MCAv reactivity (1.67 ± 0.20 vs. 1.09 ± 0.19 cm·s(-1)·mmHg(-1); P < 0.05) to hypercapnia compared with older adults (P < 0.05). In both groups MCAv and MCAv reactivity decreased between control and indomethacin. Furthermore, the age-related differences in these cerebrovascular variables were abolished by indomethacin. During the recovery from hypercapnia, there were no age-related differences in MCAv reactivity; however, indomethacin significantly reduced the MCAv reactivity in both groups. Taken together, these results suggest that cerebral blood flow velocity and cerebrovascular reactivity are attenuated in aging humans, and may be due to a loss of prostaglandin-mediated vasodilation. 相似文献

We hypothesized that the acute ventilatory response to hypoxia is enhanced after exposure to episodic hypoxia in awake humans. Eleven subjects completed a series of rebreathing trials before and after exposure to eight 4-min episodes of hypoxia. During the rebreathing trials, subjects initially hyperventilated to reduce the partial pressure of carbon dioxide (Pet(CO(2))) below 25 Torr. Subjects then breathed from a bag containing normocapnic (42 Torr), low (50 Torr), or high oxygen (140 Torr) gas mixtures. During the trials, Pet(CO(2)) increased while a constant oxygen level was maintained. The point at which ventilation began to rise in a linear fashion as Pet(CO(2)) increased was considered to be the ventilatory recruitment threshold. The ventilatory response below and above the recruitment threshold was determined. Ventilation did not persist above baseline values immediately after exposure to episodic hypoxia; however, Pet(CO(2)) levels were reduced compared with baseline. In contrast, compared with baseline, the ventilatory response to progressive increases in carbon dioxide during rebreathing trials in the presence of low but not high oxygen levels was increased after exposure to episodic hypoxia. This increase occurred when carbon dioxide levels were above but not below the ventilatory recruitment threshold. We conclude that long-term facilitation of ventilation (i.e., increases in ventilation that persist when normoxia is restored after episodic hypoxia) is not expressed in awake humans in the presence of hypocapnia. Nevertheless, despite this lack of expression, the acute ventilatory response to hypoxia in the presence of hypercapnia is increased after exposure to episodic hypoxia. 相似文献
