During heavy exercise, hyperventilation-induced hypocapnia leads to cerebral vasoconstriction, resulting in a reduction in cerebral blood flow (CBF). A reduction in CBF would impair cerebral O2 delivery and potentially account for reduced exercise performance in hypoxia. We tested the hypothesis that end-tidal Pco2 (PETCO2) clamping in hypoxic exercise would prevent the hypocapnia-induced reduction in CBF during heavy exercise, thus improving exercise performance.

Hypoxia causes hyperventilation and decreases body temperature (T(b)) and metabolism [O(2) consumption (VO(2))]. Because dopamine (DA) is released centrally in response to peripheral chemoreceptor stimulation, we tested the hypothesis that central DA mediates the ventilatory, thermal, and metabolic responses to hypoxia. Thus we predicted that injection of haloperidol (a DA D(2)-receptor antagonist) into the third ventricle would augment hyperventilation and attenuate the drop in T(b) and VO(2) in conscious rats.

Background: Cerebral vasoconstriction has been described previously in vasovagal syncope (VVS). This phenomenon appears paradoxical in view of the well-known decrease of systemic vascular resistances taking places during VVS. We aimed to assess (1) whether cerebral vasoconstriction in VVS is an independent paradoxical phenomenon and (2) whether cerebral vasoconstriction has any link with symptoms and/or VVS onsets.

1. In the present study we examined the effect of hyperthermia on the middle cerebral artery mean blood velocity (MCA V(mean)) during prolonged exercise. We predicted that the cerebral circulation would be impaired when hyperthermia is present during exercise and assumed that this could be observed as a reduced MCA V(mean).
