Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The present study examined if dynamic cerebral autoregulation (dCA) and blood brain-barrier (BBB) function would become compromised as a result of exercise-induced oxidative-nitrosative stress. Eight healthy males were examined at rest and after an incremental bout of semi-recumbent cycling exercise to exhaustion. Changes in a dynamic cerebral autoregulation index (ARI) were determined during recovery from continuous recordings of blood flow velocity in the middle cerebral artery (MCAv) and mean arterial pressure during transiently induced hypotension. Electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy and ozone-based chemiluminescence were employed for direct detection of spin-trapped free radicals and nitric oxide metabolites in venous blood. Neuron-specific enolase (NSE), S100β, and 3-nitrotyrosine (3-NT) were determined by Enzyme-Linked Immuno-Sorbent Assay. While exercise did not alter MCAv, it caused a mild reduction in ARI [6.9 ± 0.6 arbitrary units (AU) to 5.5 ± 0.9 AU, P < 0.05] that correlated directly against the exercise-induced increase in the ascorbate radical, 5-(diethoxyphosphoryl)-5-methyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide and N-tert-butyl-α-phenylnitrone-adducts, 3-NT and S100β (r = -0.66 to -0.76, P < 0.05). In contrast, no changes in NSE were observed. In conclusion, our findings suggest that intense exercise has the potential to increase BBB permeability without causing structural brain damage subsequent to a free radical-mediated impairment in dCA.
