Immediate exercise hyperemia: contributions of the muscle pump vs. rapid vasodilation

Journal of Applied Physiology
Michael E Tschakovsky, Don D Sheriff

Abstract

A striking characteristic of the blood flow adaptation at exercise onset is the immediate and substantial increase in the first few (0-5 s) seconds of exercise. The purpose of this mini-review is to put into context the present evidence regarding mechanisms responsible for this phase of exercise hyperemia. One potential mechanism that has received much attention is the mechanical effect of muscle contraction (the muscle pump). The rapid vasodilatory mechanism(s) is another possible mechanism that has recently been shown to exist. This review will provide the reader with 1) an understanding of the basic physics of blood flow and the theories of muscle pump function, 2) a critical examination of evidence both for and against the contribution of the muscle pump or rapid vasodilatory mechanisms, and 3) an awareness of the limitations and impact of experimental models and exercise modes on the contribution of each of these mechanisms to the immediate exercise hyperemia. The inability to measure microvenular pressure continues to limit investigators to indirect assessments of the muscle pump vs. vasodilatory mechanism contributions to immediate exercise hyperemia in vivo. Future research directions should include examination of muscl...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
