The purpose of this study was to examine hemodynamic responses to graded muscle reflex engagement in human subjects. We studied seven healthy human volunteers [24 +/- 2 (SE) yr old; 4 men, 3 women] performing rhythmic handgrip exercise [40% maximal voluntary contraction (MVC)] during ambient and positive pressure exercise (+10 to +50 mmHg in 10-mmHg increments every minute). Muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA), mean arterial blood pressure (MAP), and mean blood velocity were recorded. Plasma lactate, hydrogen ion concentration, and oxyhemoglobin saturation were measured from venous blood. Ischemic exercise resulted in a greater rise in both MSNA and MAP vs. nonischemic exercise. These heightened autonomic responses were noted at +40 and +50 mmHg. Each level of positive pressure was associated with an immediate fall in flow velocity and forearm perfusion pressure. However, during each minute, perfusion pressure increased progressively. For positive pressure of +10 to +40 mmHg, this was associated with restoration of flow velocity. However, at +50 mmHg, flow was not restored. This inability to restore flow was seen at a time when the muscle reflex was clearly engaged (increased MSNA). We believe that these findings are consistent with the hypothesis that before the muscle reflex is clearly engaged, flow to muscle is enhanced by a process that raises perfusion pressure. Once the muscle reflex is clearly engaged and MSNA is augmented, flow to muscle is no longer restored by a similar rise in perfusion pressure, suggesting that active vasoconstriction within muscle is occurring at +50 mmHg.  相似文献

The purpose of this study was to determine if abnormalities of sympathetic neural and vascular control are present in mild and/or severe heart failure (HF) and to determine the underlying afferent mechanisms. Patients with severe HF, mild HF, and age-matched controls were studied. Muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) and forearm vascular resistance (FVR) in the nonexercising arm were measured during mild and moderate static handgrip. MSNA during moderate handgrip was higher at baseline and throughout exercise in severe HF vs. mild HF (peak MSNA 67 +/- 3 vs. 54 +/- 3 bursts/min, P < 0.0001) and higher in mild HF vs. controls (33 +/- 3 bursts/min, P < 0.0001), but the change in MSNA was not different between the groups. The change in FVR was not significantly different between the three groups during static exercise. During isolation of muscle metaboreceptors, MSNA and blood pressure remained elevated in normal controls and mild HF but not in severe HF. During mild handgrip, the increase in MSNA was exaggerated in severe HF vs. controls and mild HF, in whom MSNA did not increase. In summary, the increase in MSNA during static exercise in severe HF appears to be attributable to exaggerated central command or muscle mechanoreceptor control, not muscle metaboreceptor control.  相似文献

Based on animal studies, it has been speculated that muscle metabolites sensitize muscle mechanoreceptors and increase mechanoreceptor-mediated muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA). However, this hypothesis has not been directly tested in humans. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that in healthy individuals passive stretch of forearm muscles would evoke significant increases in mean MSNA when muscle metabolite concentrations were increased. In 12 young healthy subjects, MSNA, ECG, and blood pressure were recorded. Subjects performed static fatiguing isometric handgrip at 30% maximum voluntary contraction followed by 4 min of postexercise muscle ischemia (PEMI). After 2 min of PEMI, wrist extension (i.e., wrist dorsiflexion) was performed. The static stretch protocol was also performed during 1) a freely perfused condition, 2) ischemia alone, and 3) PEMI after nonfatiguing exercise. Finally, repetitive short bouts of wrist extension were also performed under freely perfused conditions. This last paradigm evoked transient increases in MSNA but had no significant effect on mean MSNA over the whole protocol. During the PEMI after fatiguing handgrip, static stretch induced significant increases in MSNA (552 +/- 74 to 673 +/- 90 U/min, P < 0.01) and mean blood pressure (102 +/- 2 to 106 +/- 2 mmHg, P < 0.001). Static stretch performed under the other three conditions had no significant effects on mean MSNA and blood pressure. The present data verified that in healthy humans mechanoreceptor(s) stimulation evokes significant increases in mean MSNA and blood pressure when muscle metabolite concentrations are increased above a certain threshold.  相似文献

Previous studies of muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) during static exercise have employed predominantly the arms. These studies have revealed striking increases in arm and leg MSNA during static handgrip (SHG) and postexercise circulatory arrest (PECA). The purpose of this study was to examine MSNA during static leg exercise (SLE) at intensities and duration commonly used during SHG followed by PECA. During 2 min of SLE (static knee extension) at 10% of maximal voluntary contraction (MVC; n = 18) in the sitting position, mean arterial pressure and heart rate increased significantly. Surprisingly, MSNA in the contralateral leg did not increase above control levels during SLE but rather decreased (23 +/- 5%; P < 0.05) during the 1st min of SLE at 10% MVC. We compared MSNA responses to SHG and SLE (n = 8) at 30% MVC. SHG and SLE elicited comparable increases (P < 0.05) in arterial pressure and heart rate, but SHG elicited significant increases in MSNA, whereas SLE did not. During PECA after SHG and SLE, mean arterial pressure remained significantly above control. However, MSNA was unchanged during PECA after SLE but was significantly greater than control during PECA after SHG. Because previous studies have indicated differences in MSNA responses to the arm and leg, we measured arm and leg MSNA simultaneously in six subjects during SLE at 20% MVC and PECA. During SLE and PECA, MSNA in the contralateral arm and leg did not differ significantly from each other.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

We sought to investigate arterial baroreflex (ABR) control of muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) in the transition from rest to steady-state dynamic exercise. This was accomplished by assessing the relationship between spontaneous variations in diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and MSNA at rest and during the time course of reaching steady-state arm cycling at 50% peak oxygen uptake (VO(2peak)). Specifically, DBP-MSNA relations were examined in eight subjects (25 +/- 1 yr) at the start of unloaded arm cycling and then during the initial and a later period of arm cycling once the 50% VO(2peak) work rate was achieved. Heart rate and arterial blood pressure were progressively increased throughout exercise. Although resting MSNA [16 +/- 2 burst/min; 181 +/- 36 arbitrary units (au) total activity] was unchanged during unloaded cycling, MSNA burst frequency and total activity were significantly elevated during the initial (27 +/- 4 burst/min; 367 +/- 76 au; P < 0.05) and later (36 +/- 7 burst/min; 444 +/- 91 au; P < 0.05) periods of exercise. The relationships between DBP and burst incidence, burst strength, and total MSNA were progressively shifted rightward from unloaded to the initial to the later period of 50% VO(2peak) arm cycling without any changes in the slopes of the linear regressions (i.e., ABR sensitivity). Thus a continuous and dynamic resetting of the ABR control of MSNA occurred during the transition from rest to steady-state dynamic exercise. These findings indicate that the ABR control of MSNA was well maintained throughout dynamic exercise in humans, progressively being reset to operate around the exercise-induced elevations in blood pressure and MSNA without any changes in reflex sensitivity.  相似文献

Astronauts usually work under much mental stress. However, it is unclear how and whether or not an exposure to microgravity affects physiological response to mental stress in humans. To examine effects of microgravity on vasomotor sympathetic and peripheral vasodilator responses to mental stress, we performed 10 min of mental arithmetic (MA) before and after 14 days of 6 degrees head-down bed rest (HDBR), a ground-based simulation of spaceflight. Total muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA, measured by microneurography) slightly increased during MA before HDBR, and this increase was augmented after HDBR. Calf blood flow (measured by venous occlusion plethysmography) increased and calf vascular resistance (calculated by dividing mean blood pressure by calf blood flow) decreased during MA before HDBR, but these responses were abolished after HDBR. Increases in heart rate and mean blood pressure during MA were not different between before and after HDBR. These findings suggest that HDBR augmented vasomotor sympathoexcitation but attenuated vasodilatation in the calf muscle in response to mental stress.  相似文献

Evidence in healthy animals and humans is accumulating that the muscle mechanoreceptors play an important role in mediating sympathetic activation during exercise, especially rhythmic exercise. Furthermore, muscle mechanoreceptors appear to be sensitized acutely during exercise by metabolic by-products, although the identity of these by-products remains unknown. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the metabolic by-products 1) prostaglandins and/or 2) adenosine sensitize muscle mechanoreceptor control of muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) in normal humans during rhythmic exercise. MSNA was recorded using microneurography. Muscle mechanoreceptors were activated by low-level rhythmic forearm exercise for 3 min. In 16 healthy humans, intra-arterial indomethacin was infused into the exercising arm to inhibit synthesis of cyclooxygenase products. In 18 healthy humans, intra-arterial aminophylline was infused into the exercising arm to block adenosine receptors. During saline control, MSNA increased significantly during exercise. Inhibition of cyclooxygenase during exercise dramatically and virtually completely eliminated the reflex sympathetic activation. Inhibition of adenosine receptors with aminophylline had no effect on the sympathetic activation during muscle mechanoreceptor stimulation. In conclusion, muscle mechanoreceptors are sensitized by cyclooxygenase products, but not by adenosine, during 3 min of low-level rhythmic handgrip exercise in healthy humans. Further studies of other metabolic by-products and of patients with enhanced muscle mechanoreceptor sensitivity, such as patients with heart failure, are warranted.  相似文献

The primary purpose of this study was to determine whether the sympathetic neural activation induced by isometric exercise is influenced by the size of the contracting muscle mass. To address this, in nine healthy subjects (aged 19-27 yr) we measured heart rate, systolic arterial blood pressure, and muscle sympathetic nerve activity in the leg (MSNA; peroneal nerve) before (control) and during 2.5 min of isometric handgrip exercise (30% of maximal voluntary force). Exercise was performed with the right and left arms separately and with both arms simultaneously (random order). During exercise, heart rate, systolic pressure, and MSNA increased above control under all conditions (P less than 0.05). For each variable, the magnitudes of the increases from control to the end of exercise were significantly greater when exercise was performed with two arms compared with either arm alone (P less than 0.05). In general, the increases in heart rate, systolic pressure, and MSNA elicited during two-arm exercise were significantly less than the simple sums of the responses evoked during exercise of each arm separately. These findings indicate that the magnitude of the sympathetic neural activation evoked during isometric exercise in humans is determined in part by the size of the active muscle mass. In addition, our results suggest that the sympathetic cardiovascular adjustments elicited during exercise of separate limbs are not simply additive but instead exhibit an inhibitory interaction (i.e., neural occlusion).  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

Passive muscle stretch performed during a period of post-exercise muscle ischemia (PEMI) increases muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA), and this suggests that the muscle metabolites may sensitize mechanoreceptors in healthy humans. However, the responsible substance(s) has not been studied thoroughly in humans. Human and animal studies suggest that cyclooxygenase products sensitize muscle mechanoreceptors. Thus we hypothesized that local cyclooxygenase inhibition in exercising muscles could attenuate MSNA responses to passive muscle stretch during PEMI. Blood pressure (Finapres), heart rate, and MSNA (microneurography) responses to passive muscle stretch were assessed in 13 young healthy subjects during PEMI before and after cyclooxygenase inhibition, which was accomplished by a local infusion of 6 mg ketorolac tromethamine in saline via Bier block. In the second experiment, the same amount of saline was infused via the Bier block. Ketorolac Bier block decreased prostaglandin synthesis to approximately 34% of the baseline. Before ketorolac Bier block, passive muscle stretch evoked significant increases in MSNA (P < 0.005) and mean arterial blood pressure (P < 0.02). After ketorolac Bier block, passive muscle stretch did not evoke significant responses in MSNA (P = 0.11) or mean arterial blood pressure (P = 0.83). Saline Bier block had no effect on the MSNA or blood pressure response to ischemic stretch. These observations indicate that cyclooxygenase inhibition attenuates MSNA responses seen during PEMI and suggest that cyclooxygenase products sensitize the muscle mechanoreceptors.  相似文献

In animal studies, acupuncture has been shown to be sympathoinhibitory, but it is unknown if acupuncture is sympathoinhibitory in humans. Nineteen healthy volunteers underwent mental stress testing pre- and postacupuncture. Muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA), blood pressure, and heart rate during mental stress were compared pre- and postacupuncture. Control acupuncture consisted of acupuncture at nonacupoints and "no-needle" acupuncture. Acupuncture had no effect on resting MSNA, blood pressure, or heart rate. After real acupuncture, the increase in mean arterial pressure (pre- vs. postacupuncture 4.5 vs. 1.7 mmHg, P < 0.001), but not MSNA or heart rate, was blunted during mental stress. Similarly, following nonacupoint acupuncture, the increase in mean arterial pressure was blunted during mental stress (5.4 vs. 2.9 mmHg, P < 0.0003). No-needle acupuncture had no effect on these variables. In conclusion, acupuncture at traditional acupoints, nonacupoints, and no-needle acupuncture does not modulate baseline MSNA or MSNA responses to mental stress in normal humans. Acupuncture significantly attenuates the increase in blood pressure during mental stress. Needling nonacupoints, but not "no-needle" acupuncture, have a similar effect on blood pressure.  相似文献

We examined the hypothesis that the increase in inactive leg vascular resistance during forearm metaboreflex activation is dissociated from muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA). MSNA (microneurography), femoral artery mean blood velocity (FAMBV, Doppler), mean arterial pressure (MAP), and heart rate (HR) were assessed during fatiguing static handgrip exercise (SHG, 2 min) followed by posthandgrip ischemia (PHI, 2 min). Whereas both MAP and MSNA increase during SHG, the transition from SHG to PHI is characterized by a transient reduction in MAP but sustained elevation in MSNA, facilitating separation of these factors in vivo. Femoral artery vascular resistance (FAVR) was calculated (MAP/MBV). MSNA increased by 59 +/- 20% above baseline during SHG (P < 0.05) and was 58 +/- 18 and 78 +/- 18% above baseline at 10 and 20 s of PHI, respectively (P < 0.05 vs. baseline). Compared with baseline, FAVR increased 51 +/- 22% during SHG (P < 0.0001) but returned to baseline levels during the first 30 s of PHI, reflecting the changes in MAP (P < 0.005) and not MSNA. It was concluded that control of leg muscle vascular resistance is sensitive to changes in arterial pressure and can be dissociated from sympathetic factors.  相似文献

To examine how long-lasting microgravity simulated by 6 degrees head-down bed rest (HDBR) induces changes in the baroreflex control of muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) at rest and changes in responses of MSNA to orthostasis, six healthy male volunteers (range 26-42 yr) participated in Valsalva maneuver and head-up tilt (HUT) tests before and after 120 days of HDBR. MSNA was measured directly using a microneurographic technique. After long-term HDBR, resting supine MSNA and heart rate were augmented. The baroreflex slopes for MSNA during Valsalva maneuver (in supine position) and during 60 degrees HUT test, determined by least-squares linear regression analysis, were significantly steeper after than before HDBR, whereas the baroreflex slopes for R-R interval were significantly flatter after HDBR. The increase in MSNA from supine to 60 degrees HUT was not different between before and after HDBR, but mean blood pressure decreased in 60 degrees HUT after HDBR. In conclusion, the baroreflex control of MSNA was augmented, whereas the same reflex control of R-R interval was attenuated after 120 days of HDBR.  相似文献

Activation of skeletal muscle fibers by somatic nerves results in vasodilation and functional hyperemia. Sympathetic nerve activity is integral to vasoconstriction and the maintenance of arterial blood pressure. Thus the interaction between somatic and sympathetic neuroeffector pathways underlies blood flow control to skeletal muscle during exercise. Muscle blood flow increases in proportion to the intensity of activity despite concomitant increases in sympathetic neural discharge to the active muscles, indicating a reduced responsiveness to sympathetic activation. However, increased sympathetic nerve activity can restrict blood flow to active muscles to maintain arterial blood pressure. In this brief review, we highlight recent advances in our understanding of the neural control of the circulation in exercising muscle by focusing on two main topics: 1) the role of motor unit recruitment and muscle fiber activation in generating vasodilator signals and 2) the nature of interaction between sympathetic vasoconstriction and functional vasodilation that occurs throughout the resistance network. Understanding how these control systems interact to govern muscle blood flow during exercise leads to a clear set of specific aims for future research.  相似文献

Many authors have reported that, during exercise, noradrenaline spillover increases and fractional extraction decreases. It has been suggested that the increase in blood flow to active muscles may contribute to these effects. Muscle contraction also causes changes in many factors that may affect noradrenaline spillover and fractional extraction. In this experiment, we studied the effect of muscle contraction and blood flow on noradrenaline and adrenaline spillover and fractional extraction in the in situ canine gracilis muscle. The low intensity stimulation protocol enabled us to have muscle contractions without any effect on the local concentration of noradrenaline, as measured by microdialysis, and noradrenaline spillover. Fractional extraction of both noradrenaline and adrenaline was unaffected by increasing blood flow three and four times its resting value. In addition, noradrenaline spillover was increased by the higher blood flow, from 188 to 452 pg x min(-1) at rest and from 246 to 880 pg x min(-1) during stimulation. Stimulation of muscle contraction caused a significant increase in fractional extraction of noradrenaline and a nonsignificant increase in adrenaline extraction. In addition, an adrenaline spillover was observed in certain conditions. In light of our results, it seems that blood flow may not be the main factor decreasing fractional extraction of noradrenaline during exercise. However, blood flow could contribute to the increase in noradrenaline spillover observed in the active muscles during exercise.  相似文献

Recent studies indicate that nonhypotensive orthostatic stress in humans causes reflex vasoconstriction in the forearm but not in the calf. We used microelectrode recordings of muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) from the peroneal nerve in conscious humans to determine if unloading of cardiac baroreceptors during nonhypotensive lower body negative pressure (LBNP) increases sympathetic discharge to the leg muscles. LBNP from -5 to -15 mmHg had no effect on arterial pressure or heart rate but caused graded decreases in central venous pressure and corresponding large increases in peroneal MSNA. Total MSNA (burst frequency X mean burst amplitude) increased by 61 +/- 22% (P less than 0.05 vs. control) during LBNP at only -5 mmHg and rose progressively to a value that was 149 +/- 29% greater than control during LBNP at -15 mmHg (P less than 0.05). The major new conclusion is that nonhypotensive LBNP is a potent stimulus to muscle sympathetic outflow in the leg as well as the arm. During orthostatic stress in humans, the cardiac baroreflex appears to trigger a mass sympathetic discharge to the skeletal muscles in all of the extremities.  相似文献

It is known that exposure to actual or simulated weightlessness is often accompanied by decreased muscle dynamic performance, and increased level of blood lactate accumulation. Decreased mitochondrial content found in fibers of the working muscles is considered to be one of the possible causes for those changes. Studies on oxidative potential of the muscle cell (i.e. capacity of the cell to oxidative energy production) under conditions of altered gravity have been carried out since late 70-ties. It was shown that the relatively short term spaceflight and hindlimb suspension induced significant decrease oxidative enzyme activities and mitochondrial volume density in rat fast muscle. However postural soleus muscle failed to exhibit similar changes, although the absolute mitochondrial content was found to be sufficiently lower after exposure to simulated microgravity. This phenomenon allowed to conclude that the pronounced soleus fiber atrophy masked the proportional absolute decrease in oxidative potential which failed to be revealed as subsequent changes in mitochondrial volume density and oxidative enzyme activity. It is also important, that biosatellite studies exposed considerable changes in mitochondria distribution pattern inside m. soleus fibers: volume density of mitochondria (and, correspondingly, activity of oxidative enzymes) increases (or does not change) in the center of fiber, and decreases at its periphery, in subsarcolemmal area. However the time course of mitochondrial alterations development (particularly during long-duration exposures to real or simulated microgravity) and some peculiarities of the mitochondria distribution were not described yet. Also, materials dealing with simultaneous time-course comparative analysis of mitochondrial characteristics and indices of physiological cost of submaximal exercise are very rare. The present paper is purposed to compare the data, obtained in several experimental studies, allowed to analyze the possible contribution of muscle mitochondria changes to changes in metabolic cost of submaximal exercise and the time-course dynamics of mitochondrial characteristics under conditions of actual or simulated gravitational unloading.  相似文献

The purpose ofthis study was to determine the effects of concentric (Con) andeccentric (Ecc) muscle actions on leg muscle sympathetic nerve activity(MSNA). Two protocols were utilized. In protocol1, eight subjects performed Con and Ecc arm curls for 2 min, with a resistance representing 50% of one-repetition maximum forCon curls. Heart rate (HR) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) weregreater (P < 0.05) during Con thanduring Ecc curls. Similarly, the MSNA was greater(P < 0.05) during Con than during Ecc curls. In protocol 2, eightdifferent subjects performed Con and Ecc arm curls to fatigue, followedby postexercise muscle ischemia, by using the same resistanceas in protocol 1. Endurance time wassignificantly greater for Ecc than for Con curls. The increase in HR,MAP, and MSNA was greater (P < 0.05)during Con than during Ecc curls. However, when the data werenormalized as a function of endurance time, the differences in HR, MAP,and MSNA between Con and Ecc curls were no longer present. HR, MAP, andMSNA responses during postexercise muscle ischemia were similar for Con and Ecc curls. Con curls elicited greater increase(P < 0.05) in blood lactateconcentration than did Ecc curls. In summary, Con actions contributesignificantly more to the increase in cardiovascular and MSNA responsesduring brief, submaximal exercise than do Ecc actions. However, whenperformed to a similar level of effort (i.e., fatigue), Con and Eccmuscle actions elicit similar cardiovascular and MSNA responses. Theseresults indicate that the increase in MSNA during a typical bout ofsubmaximal dynamic exercise is primarily mediated by the musclemetaboreflex, which is stimulated by metabolites produced predominantlyduring Con muscle action.  相似文献

We sought to determine whether carotid baroreflex (CBR) control of muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) was altered during dynamic exercise. In five men and three women, 23.8 +/- 0.7 (SE) yr of age, CBR function was evaluated at rest and during 20 min of arm cycling at 50% peak O(2) uptake using 5-s periods of neck pressure and neck suction. From rest to steady-state arm cycling, mean arterial pressure (MAP) was significantly increased from 90.0 +/- 2.7 to 118.7 +/- 3.6 mmHg and MSNA burst frequency (microneurography at the peroneal nerve) was elevated by 51 +/- 14% (P < 0.01). However, despite the marked increases in MAP and MSNA during exercise, CBR-Delta%MSNA responses elicited by the application of various levels of neck pressure and neck suction ranging from +45 to -80 Torr were not significantly different from those at rest. Furthermore, estimated baroreflex sensitivity for the control of MSNA at rest was the same as during exercise (P = 0.74) across the range of neck chamber pressures. Thus CBR control of sympathetic nerve activity appears to be preserved during moderate-intensity dynamic exercise.  相似文献

Insulin infusion causes muscle vasodilation, despite the increase in sympathetic nerve activity. In contrast, a single bout of exercise decreases sympathetic activity and increases muscle blood flow during the postexercise period. We tested the hypothesis that muscle sympathetic activity would be lower and muscle vasodilation would be higher during hyperinsulinemia performed after a single bout of dynamic exercise. Twenty-one healthy young men randomly underwent two hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamps performed after 45 min of seated rest (control) or bicycle exercise (50% of peak oxygen uptake). Muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA, microneurography), forearm blood flow (FBF, plethysmography), blood pressure (BP, oscillometric method), and heart rate (HR, ECG) were measured at baseline (90 min after exercise or seated rest) and during hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamps. Baseline glucose and insulin concentrations were similar in the exercise and control sessions. Insulin sensitivity was unchanged by previous exercise. During the clamp, insulin levels increased similarly in both sessions. As expected, insulin infusion increased MSNA, FBF, BP, and HR in both sessions (23 +/- 1 vs. 36 +/- 2 bursts/min, 1.8 +/- 0.1 vs. 2.2 +/- 0.2 ml.min(-1).100 ml(-1), 89 +/- 2 vs. 92 +/- 2 mmHg, and 58 +/- 1 vs. 62 +/- 1 beats/min, respectively, P < 0.05). BP and HR were similar between sessions. However, MSNA was significantly lower (27 +/- 2 vs. 31 +/- 2 bursts/min), and FBF was significantly higher (2.2 +/- 0.2 vs. 1.8 +/- 0.1 ml.min(-1).100 ml(-1), P < 0.05) in the exercise session compared with the control session. In conclusion, in healthy men, a prolonged bout of dynamic exercise decreases MSNA and increases FBF. These effects persist during acute hyperinsulinemia performed after exercise.  相似文献
