Chronic intermittent hypoxia increases sympathetic responsiveness to hypoxia and hypercapnia.
We sought to determine whether chronic exposure to intermittent hypoxia (CIH) increases sympathetic responsiveness to subsequent chemoreflex stimulation. Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed to 30 days of CIH: exposure chamber %O2 [fractional concentration of chamber O2 (FcO2)] nadir 6.5-7% with return to 21% each minute for 8 h/day during the diurnal sleep period (Exp group). Sham controls (SC gro...
متن کاملChronic-intermittent hypoxia induces immediate early gene expression in the midline thalamus and epithalamus.
Chronic-intermittent hypoxia (CIH) was postulated to activate thalamic regions that are synaptically related to autonomic-related areas of the cerebral cortex. Animals exposed to CIH for 30 days exhibited c-fos labeling in paraventricular thalamic and lateral habenular nuclei. Our findings strongly suggest activation of a diencephalic network that participates in behavioral responses to chronic...
متن کاملFructose feeding and intermittent hypoxia affect ventilatory responsiveness to hypoxia and hypercapnia in rats.
We hypothesized that, in male rats, 10% fructose in drinking water would depress ventilatory responsiveness to acute hypoxia (10% O2 in N2) and hypercapnia (5% CO2 in O2) that would be depressed further by exposure to intermittent hypoxia. Minute ventilation (Ve) in air and in response to acute hypoxia and hypercapnia was evaluated in 10 rats before fructose feeding (FF), during 6 wk of FF, and...
متن کاملQuantitative evaluation of hemodynamic parameters during acute alveolar hypoxia and hypercapnia in the isolated ventilated-perfused rabbit lung
Introduction: Acute respiratory disorders such as obstructive pulmonary diseases and hypoventilation may lead to alveolar hypoxia and hypercapnia which their effects on pulmonary vascular beds are controversial. The aim of this study was to establish the isolated perfused lung setup and investigate the effects of alveolar hypoxia and hypercapnia on pulmonary vascular resistance. Methods: White ...
متن کاملChronic intermittent hypoxia and hypercapnia inhibit the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus neurotransmission to parasympathetic cardiac neurons in the brain stem.
Obstructive sleep apnea is associated with chronic intermittent hypoxia/hypercapnia (CIHH) episodes during sleep that heighten sympathetic and diminish parasympathetic activity to the heart. Although one population of neurons in the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus strongly influences sympathetic tone and has increased activity after CIHH, little is known about the role of this pathw...
