Increased adiposity does not exacerbate impaired vasodilation in rats exposed to eucapnic intermittent hypoxia.
BACKGROUND Although there often is a clinical co-incidence of increased adiposity and obstructive sleep apnea, each factor is independently associated with elevated oxidative stress. OBJECTIVE We hypothesized that overweight rats exposed to simulated sleep apnea would develop exacerbated oxidative stress leading to impaired endothelium-dependent vasodilation. METHODS Rats were fed either a ...
متن کاملPostnatal intermittent hypoxia alters baroreflex function in adult rats.
Chronic perinatal intermittent hypoxia (IH) could have long-term cardiovascular effects by altering baroreflex function. To examine this hypothesis, we exposed rats (n = 6/group) for postnatal days 1-30 or prenatal embryonic days 5-21 to IH (8% ambient O2 for 90 s after 90 s of 21% of O2, 12 h/day) or to normoxia (control). Baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) and cardiac chronotropic responses were ex...
متن کاملChronic intermittent hypoxia exposure induces memory impairment in growing rats.
The study was aimed to examine the effect of chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) on spatial memory of growing rats and to explore the possible underlying mechanisms. Sixty two rats were trained to perform the 8-arm radial maze task and were divided into four groups: 2-week-CIH (2IH) 2-week-control (2C) 4-week-CIH (4IH) and 4-week-control (4C). There were more reference memory errors, working mem...
متن کاملCarotid sinus nerve stimulation, but not intermittent hypoxia, induces respiratory LTF in adult rats exposed to neonatal intermittent hypoxia.
We tested the hypothesis that exposure to neonatal intermittent hypoxia (n-IH) in rat pups alters central integrative processes following acute and intermittent peripheral chemoreceptor activation in adults. Newborn male rats were exposed to n-IH or normoxia for 10 consecutive days after birth. We then used both awake and anesthetized 3- to 4-mo-old rats to record ventilation, blood pressure, a...
متن کاملIntermittent hypoxia modulates nitric oxide-dependent vasodilation and capillary perfusion during ischemia-reperfusion-induced damage.
The microvascular function of nitric oxide (NO) during ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) in intermittent hypoxia (IH)-pretreated hamsters was analyzed using 20 mg/kg of the nonselective NO inhibitor N(omega)-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester (l-NAME) and 5 mg/kg of the preferential inducible NO inhibitor S-methylisothiourea sulphate (SMT) injected before I/R. Studies were made in the hamster cheek pouch m...
