Sympathetic Nerve Discharge

چکیده
We used phosphorus nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (31P-NMR) to probe the cellular events in contracting muscle that initiate the reflex stimulation of sympathetic outflow during exercise. In conscious humans, we performed 3"P-NMR on exercising forearm muscle and simultaneously recorded muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) with microelectrodes in the peroneal nerve to determine if the activation of MSNA is coupled to muscle pH, an index of glycolysis, or to the concentrations (0) of inorganic phosphate (Pi) and adenosine diphosphate (ADP) which are modulators of mitochondrial respiration. During both static and rhythmic handgrip, the onset of sympathetic activation in resting muscle coincided with the development of cellular acidification in active muscle. Furthermore, increases in MSNA were correlated closely with decreases in intracellular pH but dissociated from changes in phosphocreatine (IPCrI), [Pi], and [ADPI. The principal new conclusion is that activation of muscle sympathetic outflow during exercise in humans is coupled to the cellular accumulation of protons in contracting muscle.

The basis for the relationship between the discharges in the external cartized cats that were vagotomized, paralyzed, and artificially ventilated. Ive discharge (with the period of the cycle of phrenic nerve activity) is extrinsically imposed on central sympathetic networks by elements of the brainstem respiratory oscillator. However, a number of observations made in the present study contradic...

متن کاملEffects of intranasal cocaine on sympathetic nerve discharge in humans.
Cocaine-induced cardiovascular emergencies are mediated by excessive adrenergic stimulation. Animal studies suggest that cocaine not only blocks norepinephrine reuptake peripherally but also inhibits the baroreceptors, thereby reflexively increasing sympathetic nerve discharge. However, the effect of cocaine on sympathetic nerve discharge in humans is unknown. In 12 healthy volunteers, we recor...

Frequency-domain analyses were used to determine the effect of cold stress on the relationships between the discharge bursts of sympathetic nerve pairs, sympathetic and aortic depressor nerve pairs, and sympathetic and phrenic nerve pairs in chloralose-anesthetized, baroreceptor-innervated rats. Sympathetic nerve discharge (SND) was recorded from the renal, lumbar, splanchnic, and adrenal nerve...
