International Journal of Exercise Science 7(3) : 186-193, 2014. Long-term physical exercise has been shown to noticeably reduce blood pressure (BP) and remarkably attenuate symptoms of hypertension. It is believed that physical exercise induces these beneficial effects by increasing the blood supply to the brain, enhancing the release of growth factors from skeletal muscles into the bloodstream, facilitating neurogenesis, stimulating angiogenesis, and influencing endothelial cell proliferation and subsequent endothelial cell membrane permeability. Previous findings also revealed that physical exercise significantly elevates brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) concentrations which appear to increase dramatically in BP-sensing neurons during hypertension. Elevating BDNF levels is …

Snp-Induced Dilation Following A Short-Term Intraluminal Pressure Increase In Aged Skeletal Muscle Feed Arteries, John W. Seawright, Meredith J. Luttrell, Christopher R. Woodman
International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings
A decline in peripheral vascular function occurs with age and is associated with an increased risk for cardiovascular disease. Moderate, aerobic exercise has been documented to improve or reverse the age-related decline in vascular function. The signal(s) associated with exercise responsible for the improvement in vascular function is not known; however, increased intraluminal pressure that occurs during a bout of exercise has been proposed to play an integral role. Previously, we reported that exposure to a short-term increase in intraluminal pressure improves endothelium-dependent vasodilator responses in aged arteries. The purpose of this study was to determine whether pressure treatment enhances …

Cerebral Vasomotor Reactivity: Impact Of Hyperventilation Induced Hypocapnia On Hypercapnia Induced Vasodilation, Kevin M. Christmas
Cerebral Vasomotor Reactivity: Impact Of Hyperventilation Induced Hypocapnia On Hypercapnia Induced Vasodilation, Kevin M. Christmas
International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings
Cerebral vasomotor reactivity (CVMR; the relationship of cerebral blood flow responses to changes in arterial carbon dioxide (PCO2)) is used to assess cerebral vascular function. CVMR is generally assessed during either steady-state or transient breathe-by-breathe changes in PCO2. In the transient method, a brief period of hyperventilation hypocapnia is often followed by hypercapnic rebreathing to induce a wide range of change in PCO2 to assess the capacity of CVMR. Assessment of CVMR during transient changes in PCO2 has been reported to be about 30% lower than that under steady-state conditions. One possibility for this discrepancy is that cerebral vasoconstriction during …
