Vascular resistance in peripheral blood vessels at normotension and at local orthostatic hypertension in healty humans

Acta Physiologica Scandinavica
W P Paaske, O Henriksen

Abstract

The effect of changes in orthostatic pressure on vascular resistance in subcutaneous adipose tissue was examined in the forearm at normal tension and in the leg at local orthostatic hypertension in three normal subjects. Blood flow in subcutaneous tissue was measured by the local xenon-133 washout technique. Changes in orthostatic pressure were achieved by postural changes of the extremity. At levels above the heart where venous pressure is constant, there was autoregulation of blood flow over a wider arterial blood pressure range in leg than in forearm. When transmural pressure increased 25 mm Hg or more vascular resistance increased about 50 per cent in the dependent forearm and 300 per cent in the dependent leg. The effect of ischemia on vascular resistance was investigated in cutaneous tissue of hand and foot by means of the 131I-Antipyrine initial slope technique. Vascular resistance after maximum dilatation achieved after 20, 30, and 35 min of ischemia was less in vessels of the hand than in vessels of the foot. Thus, adaptive structural changes of vessels subjected to increased blood pressure are present in cutaneous and subcutaneous adipose tissues in normal subjects.

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.
