The relationship between skeletal muscle oxygenation and systemic oxygen uptake during exercise in subjects with COPD: a preliminary study.

چکیده
BACKGROUND Muscle oxygenation correlates with systemic oxygen uptake (V(O₂)) in normal subjects; however, whether this relationship exists in COPD patients remains unclear. The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of skeletal muscle oxygenation on V(O₂) during exercise in patients with COPD. METHODS Eight subjects performed an incremental cycle ergometer exercise test. We measured ventilation and pulmonary gas exchange with a metabolic measurement system. We also continuously monitored S(pO₂), and measured tissue oxygen saturation (S(tO₂)) in the vastus lateralis with continuous-wave near-infrared spectroscopy. We calculated the muscle oxygen extraction rate (MOER) based on S(pO₂) and S(tO₂). In addition, we calculated Pearson correlation coefficients to examine the relationships between the V(O₂) obtained during exercise testing and the mean values of S(pO₂), S(tO₂), heart rate (HR), and MOER for each 30-second interval of the tests. Finally, we analyzed the relationships between the peak V(O₂) and the slopes of HR/V(O₂), S(pO₂)/V(O₂), S(tO₂)/V(O₂), and MOER/V(O₂). RESULTS With the increasing exercise intensity, many subjects showed a gradual decrease in S(tO₂) and S(pO₂), but a gradual increase in HR and MOER. V(O₂) was negatively correlated with S(tO₂) and S(pO₂), and was positively correlated with HR and MOER. However, peak V(O₂) was not correlated with any of the slopes. CONCLUSIONS V(O₂) is highly influenced by oxygen utilization in exercising muscles, as well as by blood oxygenation levels and cardiac function. However, the impact of skeletal muscle utilization during exercise on peak V(O₂) varied greatly among the subjects.

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to compare peripheral muscle oxygenation in persons with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) to healthy control persons, during submaximal exercise. METHODS Eight persons with COPD (forced expiratory volume in one second [FEV1] = 1.00 +/- 0.27 L) and eight healthy control persons (FEV, = 1.88 +/- 0.55L) performed a submaximal graded exercise te...
متن کاملSkeletal muscle metabolism limits exercise capacity in patients with chronic heart failure.
BACKGROUND Several studies have indicated that skeletal muscle is important in determining the exercise capacity of patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). However, this theory has been investigated only in experiments based on local exercise involving a small muscle mass. We investigated skeletal muscle metabolism during maximal systemic exercise to determine whether muscle metabolism limit...

متن کاملRespiratory muscle unloading improves leg muscle oxygenation during exercise in patients with COPD.
BACKGROUND Respiratory muscle unloading during exercise could improve locomotor muscle oxygenation by increasing oxygen delivery (higher cardiac output and/or arterial oxygen content) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). METHODS Sixteen non-hypoxaemic men (forced expiratory volume in 1 s 42.2 (13.9)% predicted) undertook, on different days, two constant work rate (70...
متن کاملDietary nitrate reduces skeletal muscle oxygenation response to physical exercise: a quantitative muscle functional MRI study
Dietary inorganic nitrate supplementation (probably via conversion to nitrite) increases skeletal muscle metabolic efficiency. In addition, it may also cause hypoxia-dependent vasodilation and this has the potential to augment oxygen delivery to exercising skeletal muscle. However, direct evidence for the latter with spatial localization to exercising muscle groups does not exist. We employed q...
