Intermittent hand and forearm immersion in 20°C water attenuates thermal, cardiovascular, and perceptual strain in older adults during heat stress

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Adults >65 years of age experience deleterious health effects during extreme heat events at a greater rate than any other age cohort. The purpose of this study was to identify the effectiveness of acute intermittent hand and forearm (H+F) water immersion and/or chronic (7 week) folic acid supplementation on reducing thermal and cardiovascular ...

Eight weeks of post‐exercise local heating does not improve cognition and plasma brain‐derived neurotrophic factor concentrations

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Exercise and heat stress have been reported to independently provide benefits to brain health. We tested the hypothesis that 8 weeks of post‐exercise local heating, passive local heating only, or exercise training only improves cognitive performance compared to a control group.

Cerebral haemodynamic responses to inspiratory muscle work

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Fatiguing inspiratory work has been shown to evoke a sympathetically mediated reflex that has systemic cardiovascular consequences, including increases in heart rate and blood pressure and a decrease in resting limb vascular conductance. Moreover, the response to this reflex appears to be attenuated in females compared with males.

No difference in mean middle cerebral artery blood velocity responses between lower‐ and upper‐body unilateral resistance exercise in untrained individuals

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Dynamic resistance exercise (RE) produces sinusoidal fluctuations in blood pressure that are mirrored by middle cerebral artery blood velocity (MCAv). However, whether lower‐ or upper‐body RE elicits a differential cerebrovascular response has not yet been examined.

Noradrenergic regulation of skeletal muscle oxygen pressures: Impact of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction and heat therapy

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Attenuation of sympathetic vasoconstriction during exercise (functional sympatholysis) contributes to skeletal muscle oxygen delivery–utilization matching. However, the extent to which muscle contractions impact noradrenergic regulation of interstitial oxygen pressures (PO2is${P_{{{\mathrm{O}}_2}}}_{{\mathrm{is}}}$; the driving force for blood–

Evidence of racial differences in peripheral blood pressure, central haemodynamics and arterial stiffness between young Black and White women

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Hypertension diagnosed via peripheral (brachial) blood pressure (pBP) is a strong independent predictor of overt cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, central (aortic) blood pressure (cBP), which is influenced by arterial stiffness, may be more strongly associated with CVD risk. Young Black women (BLW) demonstrate higher pBP than White women (

One day of environment‐induced heat stress causes injury to the murine kidney

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Environment‐induced heat stress (EIHS) results from sustained body temperature elevation owing to prolonged exposure to heat and humidity. We hypothesized that EIHS would cause kidney injury and cellular dysfunction. To test this hypothesis, female C57 mice were exposed to EIHS (n = 14; 37.6°C, 42.0% relative humidity) or thermoneutral (TN ...

Mitochondrial alterations as potential early events in neuromuscular junction remodelling with muscle disuse

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Physical inactivity impairs neuromuscular health, promoting skeletal muscle atrophy, mitochondrial changes, and neuromuscular junction (NMJ) instability. However, the interplay between mitochondria and NMJ alterations in the context of muscle disuse remains underexplored.
