Acute vascular responses to isometric handgrip exercise and effects of training in persons medicated for hypertension.
Previous work from our laboratory demonstrated that isometric handgrip (IHG) training improved local, endothelium-dependent vasodilation in medicated hypertensives [McGowan CL (PhD Thesis), 2006; McGowan et al. Physiologist 47: 285, 2004]. We investigated whether changes in the capacity of smooth muscle to dilate (regardless of endothelial factors) influenced this training-induced change, and w...
متن کاملHandgrip exercise increases postocclusion hyperaemic brachial artery dilatation.
OBJECTIVE To examine the effect of handgrip exercise induced ischaemia on non-invasive assessment of endothelial function in the brachial artery. DESIGN AND SETTING High frequency ultrasound was used to measure brachial artery diameter at rest and after reactive hyperaemia induced by forearm cuff occlusion with and without handgrip exercise induced ischaemia. SUBJECTS 10 healthy subjects, <...
متن کاملExercise-induced brachial artery vasodilation: role of free radicals.
Originally thought of as simply damaging or toxic "accidents" of in vivo chemistry, free radicals are becoming increasingly recognized as redox signaling molecules implicit in cellular homeostasis. Indeed, at the vascular level, it is plausible that oxidative stress plays a regulatory role in normal vascular function. Using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy, we sought to docume...
متن کاملA comparison between active- and reactive-hyperaemia-induced brachial artery vasodilation.
The measurement of brachial artery vasodilation in response to a hyperaemic stimulus has been used extensively to assess changes in endothelial function. However, whether or not similar changes occur in response to an active hyperaemic stimulus is unknown. The purpose of the present study was to compare brachial artery vasodilation in response to an active compared with a reactive hyperaemic st...
متن کاملProgressive handgrip exercise: evidence of nitric oxide-dependent vasodilation and blood flow regulation in humans.
In the peripheral circulation, nitric oxide (NO) is released in response to shear stress across vascular endothelial cells. We sought to assess the degree to which NO contributes to exercise-induced vasodilation in the brachial artery (BA) and to determine the potential of this approach to noninvasively evaluate NO bioavailability. In eight young (25 ± 1 yr) healthy volunteers, we used ultrasou...
