Abstract:Previous work has shown that the exercise pressor reflex is exaggerated in type 2 diabetic rats that present with hyperglycemia. Although it is likely that chronic hyperglycemia plays a role, no studies have isolated the acute effects of high blood glucose levels on this reflex. Therefore, the purpose of the current study was to determine the acute effects of hyperglycemia on the exercise pressor reflex. We first determined the glucose concentration needed to increase local blood glucose level in the hindlimb … Show more
