Influence of facial cooling on carotid body tonic activity and sensitivity

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Facial cooling can increase ventilation and augment the hypoxic ventilatory response. Whole body cooling increases both carotid body tonic activity and sensitivity; however, whether isolated facial cooling induces similar carotid body hyperexcitability was unknown.

The effect of repeated hot water immersion on microvascular function, glycaemic control and inflammation in White European and South Asian males

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Individuals of South Asian (SA) descent display a higher risk for cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus than their White European (WE) counterparts. Heat therapy, such as hot water immersion (HWI), can improve microvascular function and glycaemic control, although effects across racial groups are unknown.

Comparative Observation on the Blood Pressure of Anterior Tibial and Brachial Arteries

Huli yanjiu, 1998
All 200 subjects （males 100 and females 100） were selected,who don’t suffer from the disease influencing the blood pressure and don’t take the drug influencing the blood pressure.Their blood pressure of both anterior tibial and brachial arteries was ...

Passive hyperthermia increases blood circulation in specific regions, largely independent of conduit artery mechanics and cardiac performance

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Passive hyperthermia increases net peripheral and systemic blood flow in humans and other animals, yet the underlying haemodynamic forces that selectively accelerate blood movement remain incompletely characterized. Wave intensity analysis offers insight into the respective contributions of the heart and the vascular system to changes in blood

Vascular and skeletal muscle oxidative capacity responses to continuous double and single leg cycling

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract The purpose of this work was to determine endothelial, microvascular, skeletal muscle oxidative capacity (SMOC) and cardiorespiratory responses to an acute bout of continuous single leg cycling (SLC) and double leg cycling (DLC). Ten recreationally active men and women volunteered to participate in this investigation and reported to the ...

The effects of uninterrupted and interrupted sitting on blood pressure and arterial stiffness in patients with established coronary heart disease

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Sedentary behaviour is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. In healthy adults, prolonged uninterrupted sitting acutely increases blood pressure (BP) and aortic stiffness; however, these effects can be mitigated with light physical activity interruptions.

Surgical significance of brachial arterial variants in a Kenyan population

The Annals of African Surgery, 2012
Background: Knowledge of the variant anatomy of the brachial artery is important in radial arterial grafts for coronary bypass, percutaneous trans-radial approach to coronary angiography, angioplasty and flap surgery.

Identification of the individual cardiac contraction threshold during high‐frame‐rate stress echocardiography

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract The clinical assessment of cardiovascular function during exercise using stress echocardiography is essential for accurate cardiac diagnosis. However, normal limitations of cardiac deformation responses to increasing physical exertion remain poorly understood.

Small muscle mass aerobic exercise in health and disease: Unique insights into muscle vascular and metabolic control and performance

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Studies of small muscle mass exercise (SMME) have revealed that the peripheral O2 transport–utilization cascade is a dynamically regulated system in which perfusive and diffusive components can be selectively amplified, redistributed and mechanically limited depending on contraction pattern, recruitment strategy and intramuscular pressure ...

Plant‐protein supplementation improves thermoregulatory responses and ameliorates markers of intestinal damage during exercise in the heat

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Exercise in the heat often causes gastrointestinal (GI) disturbances, which can impair performance. Single amino acid supplementation can attenuate gut damage and enhance exercise tolerance; however, the effectiveness of innate amino acid blends from plant‐based proteins remains underexplored.
