We have previously documented anatomic and functional relationships between ventilatory and autonomic neural output. Therefore, we hypothesized in this study that hypoxia-induced changes in respiratory neural output are associated with changes in autonomic regulation of lower esophageal sphincter (LES) pressure. Respiratory neural output, heart rate, and LES pressure were measured before and during a 3-min exposure to 8% oxygen (balance nitrogen) in 12 3- to 7-d-old piglets. Respiratory neural output was determined from diaphragmatic electromyogram and LES pressure from an esophageal catheter. Studies were repeated after atropine administration in eight animals. Hypoxic exposure resulted in significant increases in diaphragmatic amplitude, respiratory rate, and minute diaphragmatic activity as well as heart rate. The biphasic response of diaphragm amplitude peaked at 1 min, whereas the responses of respiratory frequency and heart rate were sustained. Hypoxia caused a 50% increase in LES pressure (p < 0.05), which was eliminated by i.v. atropine administration. Development of apnea during subsequent hyperoxic exposure was always followed by a decline in LES pressure. Hypoxia-induced increase in respiratory neural output and accompanying increase in heart rate are associated with enhanced constrictive output to the LES. Blockade by atropine implicates a peripheral cholinergic mechanism for this LES response. We speculate that whereas hypoxia in the presence of enhanced respiratory neural output seems to be protective against reflux, decreased respiratory drive and accompanying apnea may be associated with a decline in LES tone and predispose to gastroesophageal reflux. |
