Sex differences in the prefrontal cortex and muscle oxygenation during exercise until exhaustion in endurance‐trained individuals

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend During cardiopulmonary exercise testing, the decline in oxygenation in the prefrontal cortex of women is striking. This crucial brain area is directly involved in planning motor tasks. The decline is particularly pronounced at higher exercise intensities, especially after reaching the respiratory compensation point or anaerobic ...

Galectin‐3 plasma levels are associated with left atrial contractile function in long‐distance runners

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract High‐intensity endurance exercise induces myocardial remodelling as an adaptive response to sustained volume overload, but excessive cumulative training might also favour deleterious cardiac remodelling, including atrial fibrosis. Whether acute marathon running engages circulating fibrosis‐related biomarkers and whether these biomarkers track ...

Splenic contraction associated with sudden, transient hypotension and sympathoexcitation in humans

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract The spleen is traditionally recognised for its roles in immunity and blood filtration, and it is known to contract and release stored erythrocytes in hypoxic conditions. Recent findings suggest that the spleen may also contribute to cardiovascular regulation.

The acute effects of exercise intensity and inorganic nitrate supplementation on the Buckberg ratio in postmenopausal females

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Menopause increases coronary heart disease risk, in part through reduced oestrogen‐mediated nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability. The Buckberg ratio, an index of myocardial oxygen supply–demand balance, in which higher values reflect more favourable myocardial perfusion, is lower in postmenopausal females (PMFs) than in age‐matched males.

Acute intermittent hypercapnic hypoxia augments left ventricular contractility

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Twenty‐four healthy adults were studied to determine the effects of an acute session of 40 min of intermittent hypercapnic hypoxia on cardiac performance. Cardiac function was assessed via echocardiography at rest and during graded stages of lower‐body negative pressure before and after the intervention to quantify load ...

Effects of nocturnal periodic breathing on sympathetic nerve activity and ventilatory control at high altitude: a randomised, crossover study

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Schematic overview of the randomised crossover study investigating the effects of nocturnal periodic breathing (nPB) on sympathetic activity and ventilatory acclimatisation in hypobaric hypoxia equivalent to 4000 m altitude. Participants completed two 3‐day sojourns where nPB was inhibited by increasing inspiratory CO2 fraction ...

Born early, age fast: Consequences of premature birth on chronic disease and accelerated ageing

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend ELGANs are exposed to several postnatal pro‐oxidant stressors, including ambient and supplemental oxygen, mechanical ventilation, infections, hyperalimentation, excessive glucocorticoids and intermittent hypoxia. Since endogenous antioxidant defences are underdeveloped, this imbalance promotes oxidative stress and inflammation ...

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 ...
