Impaired nitric oxide‐dependent endothelial function in young male individuals with obesity before the onset of symptoms and complications

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Endothelial dysfunction drives obesity‐related complications. Doppler ultrasound measurement of blood flow during 1‐min passive leg movements (PLM) is a valuable non‐invasive tool for assessing endothelial function and nitric oxide (NO)‐mediated vasodilation.

The Rematee Bumper Belt® positional therapy device for snoring and obstructive sleep apnea: Positional effectiveness in healthy subjects

Canadian Journal of Respiratory Therapy, 2013
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has been associated with hypertension, diabetes and cardiovascular disease. The most common cause of OSA is soft-tissue blockage of the upper airway and, although many physiological and pathophysiological processes are ...

The hypoxic ventilatory response and arousal burden predict the magnitude of ventilatory long‐term facilitation in humans with obstructive sleep apnoea

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract The magnitude of progressive augmentation (PA) and ventilatory long‐term facilitation (vLTF) are two forms of respiratory plasticity that are enhanced in some humans with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). This response might be linked to repeated nocturnal exposure to intermittent hypoxia or other traits connected to OSA.

Effects of high‐intensity interval training on cardiac function in hypertensive and normotensive men: Effects of antihypertensive treatment

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Exercise training is recommended for individuals with hypertension because it has been shown to lower blood pressure and reverse left ventricular concentric remodelling and mass. However, it is unclear how hypertensive individuals respond in comparison to normotensive individuals and to what extent medical treatment affects the outcome of ...

Preejection period as a sympathetic activity index: a role of confounding factors [PDF]

, 2017
In previous studies, one of the systolic time intervals - preejection period (PEP) - was used as an index of sympathetic activity reflecting the cardiac contractility.

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.

Exploring physiological factors underlying individual differences in exercise‐induced blood pressure responses

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Even among healthy individuals, arterial blood pressure (ABP) responses to exercise vary widely. However, the mechanisms underlying this individual variability remain unclear. To investigate these mechanisms, 29 participants performed isometric handgrip exercise at 30% of their maximum voluntary contraction, followed by postexercise muscle ...

Effects of a high‐sugar mixed meal on cerebrovascular haemodynamics in young, healthy versus middle‐aged adults with cardiometabolic risk factors

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Consumption of a high‐sugar mixed meal (HSMM) increases both glucose and insulin and elicits mixed vascular effects, with reduced microvascular blood flow but increased conduit artery diameter and blood flow. In this study, we sought to examine: (1) whether an HSMM elicits vascular segment‐specific effects within cerebrovasculature; and (2 ...
