Journal Article
Effects of modest hyperoxia and oral vitamin C on exercise hyperaemia and reactive hyperaemia in healthy young men
2015
Overview
Purpose
We have argued that breathing 40 % O
2
attenuates exercise hyperaemia by decreasing production of O
2
-dependent vasodilators. However, breathing 100 % O
2
attenuated endothelium-dependent vasodilatation evoked by acetylcholine and this effect was prevented by vitamin C, implicating reactive oxygen species (ROS). We have therefore used vitamin C to test the hypothesis that 40 % O
2
modulates exercise hyperaemia and reactive hyperaemia independently of ROS.
Method
In a cross-over study on 10 male subjects (21.1 ± 0.84 years), we measured forearm blood flow (venous occlusion plethysmography) and calculated forearm vascular conductance (FVC) at rest and following static handgrip at 60 % maximum voluntary contraction for 2 min and following arterial occlusion for 2 min, after placebo or oral vitamin C (2000 mg), and when breathing air or 40 % O
2
.
Result
During air breathing, vitamin C augmented the peak increase in FVC following static contraction, or release of arterial occlusion, by ~50 or 60 %, respectively (
P
< 0.05). Breathing 40 % O
2
in the presence of placebo attenuated post-contraction hyperaemia by ~25 % (
P
< 0.05), but had no effect on reactive hyperaemia. By contrast, in the presence of vitamin C, 40 % O
2
attenuated the peak increase in FVC following static contraction, or release of arterial occlusion by ~25 and 50 %, respectively (
P
< 0.05).
Conclusion
These results indicate that in young men, exercise hyperaemia following strenuous muscle contraction and reactive hyperaemia are blunted by ROS. However, they are also consistent with the view that modest hyperoxia induced by breathing 40 % O
2
acts independently of ROS to attenuate not only post-contraction hyperaemia, but also reactive hyperaemia, by decreasing release of O
2
-dependent vasodilators.
