Passive exercise using whole-body periodic acceleration enhances blood supply to ischemic hindlimb.
OBJECTIVE Whole-body periodic acceleration (WBPA) has been developed as a passive exercise technique to improve endothelial function by increasing shear stress through repetitive movements in spinal axis direction. We investigated the effects of WBPA on blood flow recovery in a mouse model of hindlimb ischemia and in patients with peripheral arterial disease. METHODS AND RESULTS After unilate...
متن کاملEffect of moderate-intensity exercise, whole-body periodic acceleration, and passive cycling on nitric oxide release into circulation.
STUDY OBJECTIVE To determine if a 3-min bout of moderately intensive supine bicycle exercise, whole-body periodic acceleration (pGz), and passive motorized cycling cause nitric oxide (NO) release into the circulation, as detected by dicrotic notch descent on the diastolic limb of a finger pulse wave. PARTICIPANTS Fourteen healthy adults underwent two levels of supine bicycle ergometry that ca...
متن کاملAntioxidant Properties of Whole Body Periodic Acceleration (pGz)
The recognition that oxidative stress is a major component of several chronic diseases has engendered numerous trials of antioxidant therapies with minimal or no direct benefits. Nanomolar quantities of nitric oxide released into the circulation by pharmacologic stimulation of eNOS have antioxidant properties but physiologic stimulation as through increased pulsatile shear stress of the endothe...
متن کاملWhole-body periodic acceleration modifies experimental asthma in sheep.
RATIONALE Nitric oxide is released from vascular endothelium in response to increased pulsatile shear stress. Nitric oxide inhibits mast cell activation and is antiinflammatory and therefore might be protective in asthma. OBJECTIVES We determined if a noninvasive motion platform that imparts periodic sinusoidal inertial forces to the whole body along the spinal axis (pGz) causing release of e...
متن کاملNitric oxide is released into circulation with whole-body, periodic acceleration.
STUDY OBJECTIVE To determine if comfortably applied, whole-body, periodic acceleration releases significant amounts of nitric oxide (NO) into the circulation of healthy subjects and patients with inflammatory diseases. MATERIALS Fourteen healthy adults and 40 adult patients with inflammatory diseases underwent single 45-min trials of whole-body, periodic acceleration with a new "passive exerc...
