Postexercise decrease in arterial blood pressure, total peripheral resistance and in circulatory responses to brief hyperoxia in subjects with mild essential hypertension.

The objective of our study was: (1) to compare the influence of moderate exercise on circulatory after-response in mildly hypertensive (n = 8) and normotensive male subjects (n = 9); (2) to examine the circulatory response to 3-min hyperoxic inactivation of arterial chemoreceptors at rest and during postexercise period in both groups. Hypertensive men (HTS) with a systolic blood pressure (SBP) 148 +/- 5 mm Hg, diastolic blood pressure (DBP) 92.4 +/- 4 mm Hg; and normotensive men (NTS), with a SBP 126 +/- 3 mm Hg, DBP 75.6 +/- 1.3 mm Hg, were submitted to 20-min of moderate exercise on a cycloergometer (up to the level of 55% of each subject's resting heart rate reserve). Finger arterial BP was recorded continuously with Finapres, impedance reography was used for recording stroke volume, cardiac output and arm blood flow. In HTS a significant decrease in SBP by 14.5 +/- 3.4 mm Hg, DBP by 8.9 +/- 1.9 mm Hg, total peripheral resistance (TPR) by 0.45 +/- 0.05 TPR u. (33.7 +/- 2.7%), and in arm vascular resistance (AVR) by 11.0 +/- 2.7 PRU u. (35.6 +/- 7%), was observed over a 60-min postexercise period. NTS exhibited insignificant changes in SBP, DBP, AVR except a significant decrease in TPR limited only to 20-min postexercise period. Hyperoxia decreased SBP, DBP and TPR in HTS. This effect was significantly attenuated during the postexercise period. Long-lasting antihypertensive effect of a single dynamic exercise in HTS suggests that moderate exercise may be applied as an effective physiological procedure to reduce elevated arterial BP in mild hypertension. We suggest also that the attenuation of the sympathoexcitatory arterial chemoreceptor reflex may contribute to a postexercise decrease in arterial BP and in TPR in mildly hypertensive subjects.

Hemodynamic responses to brief hyperoxia in healthy and in mild hypertensive human subjects in rest and during dynamic exercise.

Hemodynamic consequences of the withdrawal of arterial chemoreceptor drive (ACD) by brief systemic hyperoxia were studied in 16 mild hypertensive subjects (HT) and in 16 healthy subjects (NT) in horizontal position at resting metabolic rate. In another 9 mild HT and match NT measurements were made in resting sitting position and during steady-state mild physical exercise on cycloergometer, (30% of VO2 max.) Tidal volume, minute ventilation, end tidal CO2 and O2 concentration, K+, Na+, pO2, pCO2 values in blood were recorded. Impedance reography was used for recording stroke volume (SV) and arm blood flow (ABF). Cardiac output (CO), ABF and arterial blood pressure (ABF) values were used for calculation of the total peripheral resistance (TPR) and vascular resistance in the arm (AVR). To assess the neurogenic circulatory response to withdrawal of ACD in HT attenuated by opposite peripheral effects of high oxygen, the values of AVR, ABP, TPR and AVR changes during brief hyperoxia in NT, assumed to be of peripheral origin, were subtracted from respective values in HT, assumed to be of mixed neurogenic and peripheral origin. In HT hyperoxia applied in sitting position produced a brief decrease in systolic and diastolic ABP by 5.4 +/- 0.8% and 3.4 +/- 1.1% respectively, of TPR by 12.4 +/- 3% and of AVR by 4.7 +/- 4.6%. Decrease in AVR during hyperoxia was significantly greater in sitting than in horizontal position. In NT hyperoxia produced opposite effects in ABP, TPR and AVR, as compared to those in HT. In HT subjects during steady-state exercise the TPR decreased by 21 +/- 3.7% reaching a value no different from that in NT. We suggest, that in primary hypertension neurogenic sympathoexcitatory ACD is augmented and interacts with the peripheral mechanisms related to tissue oxygen supply.

Role of the adrenergic receptors in the central mechanism of the cardiovagal component of the arterial baroreceptor reflex.

The effects of clonidine (1.5 mcg/kg of body weight), L-DOPA (4 mg/kg) and propranolol (0.1 mg/kg) on the reflex bradycardia caused by stimulation of the arterial baroreceptors were studied in 46 waking cats in encephale isole preparations. The drugs were administered into the vertebral artery. They increased the gain of the cardiovagal reflex from the arterial baroreceptors by 162%, 162.5%, 150% respectively with regard to the control values. A similar effect of clonidine and propranolol was manifested also in cats with spinal cord destroyed between the segments C1 to Th12. The effects of clonidine and L-DOPA on the cardiovagal component of the reflex were abolished by aceperon (4 mg/kg) injected into the vertebral artery.
