Abstract

Acute, intermittent exposure to mild hypoxia increases sympathetic nervous system activity, decreases arterial shear rate, and increases blood pressure (BP) in young men. Given that the BP-raising effects of intermittent hypoxia (IH) are less evident in young women, we sought to examine the influence of sex on macro- and microvascular function following IH. BP, macrovascular function [brachial artery flow-mediated dilation (FMD)], microvascular function [reactive hyperemia area under the curve (RHAUC)], and brachial artery shear rate [shear rate area under the curve (SRAUC)] were measured before and following 30 min of IH in 18 young adults (8 women, 23 ± 5 yr). IH elicited an average nadir blood oxygen saturation ([Formula: see text]) of 92 ± 3% (P < 0.0001 vs. baseline). In men, brachial systolic (bSBP; 116 ± 6 to 122 ± 7 mmHg, P = 0.001) and diastolic (bDBP; 116 ± 6 to 122 ± 7 mmHg, P = 0.001) BPs increased from baseline following IH. bSBP (110 ± 8 to 111 ± 7 mmHg, P = 0.67) and bDBP (64 ± 7 to 68 ± 7 mmHg, P = 0.12) were unchanged in women after IH. Men maintained macrovascular function after IH (ΔFMD: 0.75 ± 2.44%), whereas women exhibited a decline (ΔFMD: -3.09 ± 2.64%, P = 0.006 vs. men). Microvascular function and shear rate declined following IH independent of sex (RHAUC: 597 ± 306 to 467 ± 205 mL/min, P = 0.049; SRAUC: 1772 ± 907 to 1439 ± 596 s-1, P = 0.040). Acute mild IH increases BP in healthy men but not women. In women, both micro- and macrovascular functions are lower following acute mild IH; in contrast, only microvascular function is lower in men. The sex-specific effects of IH on BP and macrovascular function may have important implications for the potential beneficial effects of IH.NEW & NOTEWORTHY The present study aimed to investigate the influence of sex on vascular responses to 30 min of acute, mild intermittent hypoxia. Men and women exhibited similar decreases in arterial shear rate and microvascular function after intermittent hypoxia. Although men exhibited increases in blood pressure but no changes in macrovascular function, women exhibited significant decreases in macrovascular function despite no changes in blood pressure. Sex may influence the potential hormetic effects of intermittent hypoxia.

轻度急性间歇性缺氧后,女性血流介导的扩张会减少,而男性不会。
急性、间歇性轻度缺氧会增加交感神经系统的活动,降低动脉剪切率,并增加年轻男性的血压(BP)。鉴于间歇性缺氧(IH)对年轻女性血压升高的影响不太明显,我们试图研究间歇性缺氧后性别对大血管和微血管功能的影响。方法:对 18 名年轻成人(8 名女性,23±5 岁)进行 30 分钟 IH 之前和之后的血压、大血管功能(肱动脉血流介导的扩张 [FMD])、微血管功能(反应性充血曲线下面积 [RHAUC])和肱动脉剪切率(剪切率曲线下面积 [SRAUC])测量。结果:IH 引起的平均最低血氧饱和度 (SpO2) 为 92±3% (p-1, p=0.040)。结论:急性轻度 IH 会增加健康男性的血压,但不会增加女性的血压。急性轻度 IH 后,女性的微血管和大血管功能都会降低;相比之下,男性只有微血管功能会降低。IH 对血压和大血管功能的性别特异性影响可能对 IH 的潜在益处产生重要影响。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Applied Physiology publishes the highest quality original research and reviews that examine novel adaptive and integrative physiological mechanisms in humans and animals that advance the field. The journal encourages the submission of manuscripts that examine the acute and adaptive responses of various organs, tissues, cells and/or molecular pathways to environmental, physiological and/or pathophysiological stressors. As an applied physiology journal, topics of interest are not limited to a particular organ system. The journal, therefore, considers a wide array of integrative and translational research topics examining the mechanisms involved in disease processes and mitigation strategies, as well as the promotion of health and well-being throughout the lifespan. Priority is given to manuscripts that provide mechanistic insight deemed to exert an impact on the field.
