Abstract:Studies with male spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) were initiated to determine the hemodynamic relationships associated with the lower resting caudal artery systolic blood pressure (SBP) of endurance-trained SHR populations. After assignment into nontrained (NT, n = 38) and trained (T, n = 38) groups, the T animals were exercised 5 times/wk on a motor-driven treadmill for 12-16 wk at a moderate intensity that ranged from 40 to 70% of their maximum O2 consumption capacity (VO2max). SBP, VO2max, and treadmill run time were determined before the experimental period began and before the animals were instrumented for hemodynamic measurements. At the end of the study, the T rats exhibited significantly lower SBP (NT = 210 +/- 3, T = 200 +/- 3 mmHg) and significantly higher VO2max (NT = 75 +/- 2, T = 83 +/- 2 ml.min-1.kg-1) and run durations (NT = 11.4 +/- 0.4, T = 14.5 +/- 0.3 min). When the animals were anesthetized for insertion of catheters and microprobes for blood pressure and cardiac output (thermodilution) measurements, the T rats had lower values for body mass, heart rate, mean blood pressure, cardiac output, and cardiac index than the NT rats; however, only the body mass and heart rate differences were statistically significant.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
