The role of group III/IV afferent feedback in the ventilatory, pressor and metabolic responses to exercise in normoxia and hypoxia

|
By Elliott Jenkins, Phuong Ha, Connor Howe

Introduction Neural feedback from unmyelinated and thinly myelinated group III and IV muscle afferent fibres plays an essential role in regulating the ventilatory and cardiovascular responses to physical activity (Amann et al., 2010; Thurston et al., 2023).

Brain glucose extraction is fixed at 10% despite twofold variability in resting cerebral blood flow in healthy humans

|
By Jennifer Duffy, Hannah Caldwell, Ryan L. Hoiland, Connor Howe
| SAGE Publishing
Abstract In the resting, non-stimulated brain, metabolic demands are met exclusively by the delivery and extraction of glucose and oxygen at an ~6:1 ratio. Amongst healthy people at rest, there is marked variability in resting global cerebral blood flow (CBF) yet remarkably stable concentrations of circulating glucose and oxygen. Thus, we would expect interindividual variability in resting CBF to be inversely related to oxygen and glucose extraction, maintaining oxidative glucose metabolism.

Lactate accumulates in the cerebrospinal fluid after prolonged exercise

|
By Jennifer Duffy, Justin A. Monteleone, Jay Carr, Connor Howe
| SAGE Publishing
Abstract The resting brain is fuelled by glucose with a small release of lactate. During exercise, the brain switches to extracting lactate from blood and this increases brain carbohydrate uptake in great excess to that of oxygen. The fate of this excess carbohydrate uptake is unknown. Studies investigating the fate of brain carbohydrate uptake use brief periods of brain activation and so it is possible that the dissociation between brain glucose and oxygen metabolism is temporal and not material.
