Abstract

The exercise pressor reflex (EPR) is composed of the mechanoreflex and the metaboreflex and has been shown to be overactive in spontaneously hypertensive rats. The aim of the present study was to isolate the metaboreflex using post-exercise ischemia (PEI) and examine the BP response in normotensive (NTN) and hypertensive (HTN) humans. We hypothesize that the post-exercise ischemia-induced maintenance of BP will be greater in HTN when compared to NTN adults. A total of 15 NTN (65 ± 1 years) and 12 HTN (64 ± 1 years) adults were recruited. Beat-to-beat mean arterial pressure (MAP) was measured non-invasively (Finometer). Dynamic handgrip exercise (DHE) was performed for 3 min followed by 2 min of PEI. An unpaired t test was used to examine differences between groups. As compared to resting baseline values, the change in MAP during PEI was greater in HTN than NTN subjects (HTN: Δ = 12 ± 3 mmHg, NTN: Δ = 6 ± 1 mmHg, P < 0.05). These data suggest that HTN humans have enhanced metaboreflex sensitivity.

Das Geschlechterparadoxon in der gesundheitlich beeinträchtigten Lebenszeit – Ende eines Mythos?

Beginnend mit den 1920er-Jahren hat sich eine Vorstellung über die Geschlechterdifferenzen in Gesundheit und Mortalität etabliert, die von Lorber und Moore in dem einprägsamen Satz: „Women get sicker, but men die quicker“, zusammengefasst wurde [ 1 …, S. 13]. Tatsächlich erscheinen vor dem Hintergrund der höheren Lebenserwartung der Frauen die Studienergebnisse zu den Geschlechterdifferenzen in der Morbidität überraschend, wonach Frauen im Durchschnitt einen schlechteren Gesundheitszustand aufweisen als Männer [
