Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Carotid baroreflex (CBR) function was examined in five men and three women (25 +/- 1 years) using the variable-pressure neck collar technique at rest and during dynamic, one-legged knee extension exercise at 7 W and 25 W. The CBR exhibited control of leg vascular conductance (LVC) at rest and during exercise in both an exercising leg (EL) and a non-exercising leg (NEL) across a wide range of pressures from +40 Torr neck pressure (NP) to -80 Torr neck suction (NS). Specifically, increases in LVC (% change) in response to NS were no different across -20 to -80 Torr in either EL or NEL compared to rest, P > 0.05. However, CBR-mediated decreases in percentage LVC in response to NP were attenuated in EL at both 7 W (16 +/- 1%) and 25 W (12 +/- 1%) compared to rest (40 +/- 3%; P < 0.05) as well as compared to responses in the NEL (36 +/- 6% at 7 W and 36 +/- 7% at 25 W; P < 0.05). This decrease in vascular responsiveness in EL was associated with a reduction in the gain of the percentage muscle sympathetic nerve activity (%MSNA)-%LVC relationship compared to rest (P < 0.05). Collectively, these data indicate that, despite a clear attenuation of the vascular response to MSNA in the exercising leg, CBR-mediated changes in mean arterial pressure were no different between rest and exercise.
