A carbohydrate meal attenuates the forearm vasoconstrictor response to lower body subatmospheric pressure in healthy young adults

Abstract: The cardiovascular (CV) responses to meal ingestion and orthostasis are well established. The effect of meal ingestion and meal composition on the CV responses to orthostasis are unknown. The effect of high carbohydrate (HC) and high fat (HF) meal ingestion on the CV responses to simulated orthostatic stress (using graded lower body subatmospheric pressure (LBSP)) was assessed in nine healthy young volunteers. Cardiac output (CO), forearm blood flow (FABF) heart rate (HR) and blood pressure (BP) were measured … Show more

“…Blood pressure is a dynamic variable whose values naturally change over time and within different regions of the body [31]. Following 30 min of meal ingestion, there is a fall in splanchnic vascular resistance, which results in an overall fall in total peripheral resistance [32] and this fact might explain the high diastolic blood pressure in the FST state at baseline compared to the FED state, although this change presents no clinical significance.…”

“…The coeYcient of variation for this technique in our laboratory is 11.5%. 10 Superior mesenteric artery blood flow Superior mesenteric artery flow was measured by transcutaneous Doppler ultrasound using a Diasonics Prisma system (Diasonics International, Les Ulis, France). The vessel was identified by ultrasound and the sample volume of the pulsed Doppler system was adjusted to the size of the vessel being interrogated.…”
