Vascular KATP channels mitigate severe muscle O2 delivery-utilization mismatch during contractions in chronic heart failure rats

Abstract: The vascular ATP-sensitive K+ (KATP) channel is a mediator of skeletal muscle microvascular oxygenation (PO2mv) during contractions in health. We tested the hypothesis that KATP channel function is preserved in chronic heart failure (CHF) and therefore its inhibition would reduce PO2mv and exacerbate the time taken to reach the PO2mv steady-state during contractions of the spinotrapezius muscle. Moreover, we hypothesized that subsequent KATP channel activation would oppose the effects of this inhibition. Muscl… Show more

“…Thus, each rat underwent at least six GLI injections over ß7-8 weeks. During interstitial PO 2 measurements, inhibition was administered locally via GLI superfusion (5 mg kg −1 in Krebs-Hensleit solution, Holdsworth et al 2017).…”

“…Importantly, it remains unknown how vascular K ATP channels contribute to O 2 transport within highly oxidative fast‐twitch muscles and their role in supporting fatiguing exercise, especially as the proportional contribution of these channels to the overall vascular response may increase in disease (Holdsworth et al . 2017).…”

“…Reports of reduced or unaltered exercising muscle blood flow in either human patients or animal models of HF may reflect differences in disease severity, exercise intensity/mode, measurement techniques, and/or pharmacological therapy. Moreover, compensatory mechanisms (e.g., endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factors, prostaglandins; [25,32,35]) could prevent or minimize decrements in bulk muscle blood flow and potentially mask disease-induced impairments in specific vasodilatory pathways during submaximal work. Consistent with our previous findings in awake animals [24,41], moderate HF rats showed no impairments in total hindlimb blood flow during submaximal treadmill exercise compared to their healthy counterparts.…”
