The therapeutic role of exercise training during menopause for reducing vascular disease

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Menopause marks a major milestone in female reproductive ageing. It is characterized by the cessation of ovarian function and a concomitant decline in hormones such as oestradiol. Subsequently, females undergoing menopausal transition experience a progressive increase in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease risk.

Sex differences in loop gain measured via superimposed end‐expiratory breath holds and inspired steady‐state hypoxia

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Acute low oxygen exposure (hypoxia) elicits a hypoxic ventilatory response (HVR), which increases ventilation and mitigates hypoxaemia. During sustained exposure to hypoxia, ventilatory acclimatization increases peripheral chemoreflex (HVR) sensitivity or chemoreflex loop gain (LG).

A comparison of methods to predict ovulation day, menstrual cycle characteristics and variability in professional female soccer players

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract This study aimed to compare three methods of predicting ovulation day: (1) a positive urinary luteinising hormone test (LH), (2) a sustained rise in salivary progesterone above critical difference (SP), and (3) a countback regression equation (CB), to determine variability in the menstrual cycle (MC) lengths and reproductive hormone ...

Influence of menstrual cycle phase on inflammatory and vascular responses to acute passive heating in healthy young women

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract The aim of this study was to determine whether inflammatory and vascular responses to passive heating differ between the early follicular phase (EFP) and the mid‐luteal phase (MLP) of the menstrual cycle. Ten healthy, naturally menstruating females (26 ± 3 years of age; body mass index 21.4 ± 1.9 kg/m2) were assessed during EFP and MLP ...

Human adaptation to high‐altitude: A contemporary comparison of the oxygen cascade in Andean, Tibetan and Ethiopian highlanders

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Human populations native to high altitude have evolved distinct physiological adaptations to chronic hypoxia. This adaptation is evident in the O2 transport cascade. In this review, with brief inclusion of the related genetic adaptations, we compare the O2 cascade across three well‐characterized high‐altitude populations: Andeans (Aymara and ...

Ageing attenuates regional vasoconstriction during acute lowering of upper and lower limbs

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract The venoarteriolar and myogenic response (VMR) is a non‐adrenergic, non‐baroreflex‐mediated mechanism that increases local vascular resistance and contributes to blood pressure (BP) regulation during orthostasis. Despite the importance of the VMR in human cardiovascular control, no information exists elucidating possible differences in the VMR
