Reflex alpha-adrenergic coronary vasoconstriction during hindlimb static exercise in dogs.

چکیده
We studied 18 alpha-chloralose-anesthetized dogs to determine if alpha-adrenergic coronary vasoconstriction occurs with hindlimb static exercise. Exercise was elicited by spinal cord ventral nerve root stimulation. Regional coronary blood flow was determined by the radioactive microsphere method. Animals were studied under four experimental conditions: control rest and static exercise, rest and static exercise after beta-adrenergic blockade with propranolol (2 mg/kg), rest and exercise after alpha-adrenergic blockade with phentolamine (.35 mg/kg), and rest and exercise after combined alpha- and beta-adrenergic blockade. Myocardial oxygen consumption during exercise was determined during control and during alpha-adrenergic blockade conditions. Control hindlimb static exercise resulted in significant increases in systolic (10.6%) and diastolic (12.5%) arterial pressures, heart rate (12.2%), and double product (24.6%). Associated with the increased demand for oxygen, myocardial oxygen consumption increased (33.6%) as did left ventricular myocardial flow (29.6%). However, left ventricular coronary vascular resistance was unchanged during static exercise. After beta-adrenergic blockade, systolic (12.2%) and diastolic (11.6%) arterial pressures and double product (10.7%) still increased significantly, but heart rate did not change with static exercise. In contrast, alpha-adrenergic vasoconstriction was unmasked as left (LV) and right (RV) ventricular myocardial blood flow decreased (LV: -30.0%, RV: -25.0%) and coronary vascular resistance increased (LV: 52.5%, RV: 45.3%) with static exercise. Combined alpha- and beta-adrenergic blockade abolished the reduction in myocardial blood flow and the increase in coronary vascular resistance which occurred with static exercise after beta-adrenergic blockade. These data suggest that, during static exercise, reflexes from skeletal muscles can cause alpha-adrenergic coronary artery vasoconstriction.

متن کاملMuscle metaboreflex activation during dynamic exercise vasoconstricts ischemic active skeletal muscle.
Metabolite accumulation due to ischemia of active skeletal muscle stimulates group III/IV chemosensitive afferents eliciting reflex increases in arterial blood pressure and sympathetic activity, termed the muscle metaboreflex. We and others have previously demonstrated sympathetically mediated vasoconstriction of coronary, renal, and forelimb vasculatures with muscle metaboreflex activation (MM...

We studied carotid baroreceptor reflex coronary vasoconstriction in closed-chest dogs with controlled aortic blood pressure and myocardial oxygen metabloism. The dogs were anesthetized with morphine and chloralose. Left coronary blood flow was measured by a cannula-tip flowmeter, and myocardial oxygen metabolism was calculated by measuring the arterial-coronary sinus oxygen difference. A bilate...
متن کاملAlpha-adrenoceptor-mediated coronary vasoconstriction is augmented during exercise in experimental diabetes mellitus.
This study tested whether alpha-adrenoceptor-mediated coronary vasoconstriction is augmented during exercise in diabetes mellitus. Experiments were conducted in dogs instrumented with catheters in the aorta and coronary sinus and with a flow transducer around the circumflex coronary artery. Diabetes was induced with alloxan monohydrate (n = 8, 40 mg/kg i.v.). Arterial plasma glucose concentrati...
متن کاملSympathetic vasoconstriction in active skeletal muscles during dynamic exercise.
Studies utilizing systemic administration of alpha-adrenergic antagonists have failed to demonstrate sympathetic vasoconstriction in working muscles during dynamic exercise. The purpose of this study was to examine the existence of active sympathetic vasoconstriction in working skeletal muscles by using selective intra-arterial blockade. Six mongrel dogs were instrumented chronically with flow ...
