TMEM16A chloride channels in the female reproductive tract and their role in normal and dysfunctional pregnancy and labour

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend TMEM16A plays a pivotal role in setting the duration of the action potential plateau in human uterine smooth muscle. An increase in TMEM16A expression in labour underpins a lengthening of the plateau and this provides time for the contraction to become larger and longer, important for timely successful labour.

Ventilatory and cerebrovascular responses to exercise in lowlander children acclimatizing to high‐altitude

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend To investigate age‐related differences in ventilatory and cerebrovascular responses to exercise at high‐altitude, adults (n = 10, 23–44 years) and children (n = 8, 7–14 years) completed progressive cycling exercise tests at sea‐level and following 6 days of acclimatization at 3800 m.

Maximal exercise at high altitude does not exacerbate inflammation in the human brain

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend This study investigated arterial–internal jugular venous (IJV) exchange of cytokines in response to low‐intensity and maximal cycling exercise at sea level and following 6–8 days at 3800 m a.s.l. There was a shift towards net release of interleukin‐6 (IL‐6), interleukin‐8 (IL‐8), monocyte chemoattractant protein‐1 (MCP‐1) and ...

Mechanisms reducing parasympathetic activity in chronic hypoxia

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Parasympathetic activity is reduced in chronic hypoxia, but the underlying mechanism(s) are unclear. Using β‐adrenergic blockade to isolate parasympathetic control of heart rate at sea level and after 9‐12 days at high altitude, we investigated whether (i) chemoreflex activation, (ii) increased pulmonary ventilation and/or (iii ...

The influence of metaboreflex activation on pulmonary pressure with combined chemoreflex activation in acute and chronic hypoxia

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Activation of both the metaboreflex via post‐exercise circulatory occlusion and the chemoreflex via acute and chronic hypoxia increased pulmonary artery systolic pressure. Coactivation of these reflexes further increased pulmonary artery pressure in an additive manner.

The role of group III/IV afferent feedback in the ventilatory, pressor and metabolic responses to exercise in normoxia and hypoxia

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Participants completed cycling exercise with (placebo) and without (25 µg intrathecal fentanyl) intact group III/IV muscle afferent feedback in three settings: normoxia, acute hypoxia and chronic hypoxia after 7–9 days of acclimatisation (∼3800 m). Blocking afferent feedback suppressed exercise hyperpnoea across all environments,
