Abstract

The exercise pressor reflex is a feedback autonomic and cardiovascular control mechanism evoked by mechanical and metabolic signals within contracting skeletal muscles. The mechanically sensitive component of the reflex (the mechanoreflex) is exaggerated in patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) and in a rat model of simulated PAD in which a femoral artery is chronically ligated. Products of cyclooxygenase enzyme activity have been shown to chronically sensitize the mechanoreflex in PAD, but the identity of the muscle afferent receptors that mediate the sensitization is unclear. We hypothesized that injection of the endoperoxide 4 receptor (EP4-R) antagonist L161982 or the thromboxane A2 receptor (TxA2-R) antagonist daltroban into the arterial supply of the hindlimb would reduce the pressor response to repetitive, dynamic hindlimb skeletal muscle stretch (a model of isolated mechanoreflex activation) in rats with a femoral artery that was ligated ~72 h before the experiment but not in rats with freely perfused femoral arteries. We found that EP4-R blockade had no effect on the pressor response (peak Δmean arterial pressure) to stretch in freely perfused (n = 6, pre: 14 ± 2, post: 15 ± 2 mmHg, P = 0.97) or ligated (n = 8,...Continue Reading

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.
