  • Acute responses of regional vascular conductance to oral ingestion of fructose in healthy young humans

    Masako Y Endo, Chizuko Fujihara et al.ARTICLEJournal of PHYSIOLOGICAL…2014

    BACKGROUND: Recently, it was reported in healthy young subjects that fructose containing drinks increased blood pressure acutely, without any apparent change in total vascular conductance (TVC). However, because it is well known that the splanchnic vasculature is dilated by oral fructose ingestion, it is assumed to be the concomitant vasoconstriction in other peripheral region(s) that is responsible for this finding. Thus, the purpose of this stu…

  • Peripheral and central vascular conductance influence on post-exercise hypotension

    Masako Y Endo, Kazue Shimada et al.ARTICLEJournal of PHYSIOLOGICAL…2012

    BACKGROUND: Post-exercise hypotension (PEH) following prolonged dynamic exercise arises from increased total vascular conductance (TVC) via skeletal muscle vasodilation. However, arterial vasodilation of skeletal musculatures does not entirely account for the rise in TVC. The aim of the present study was to determine the contribution of vascular conductance (VC) of the legs, arms, kidneys and viscera to TVC during PEH. METHODS: Eight subjects per…

  • Effect of Aerobic Leg Exercise Training on Subcutaneous Adipose Tissue of Thigh in Young Japanese Women

    Open AccessAkira Miura, Naomi Yamamoto et al.ARTICLEJournal of PHYSIOLOGICAL…2009

    A one-legged training model was adopted to assess the influence of moderate-intensity exercise training on subcutaneous adipose tissue, especially focusing on the trained limb. Eight young sedentary Japanese women (ages 21-23 yr) participated in a 12-week training program. The leg was assigned randomly to trained or untrained limb. Each subject performed a supervised 60-min one-legged cycle ergometer training session three times a week. The exerc…

  • Autonomic Nervous Activities Assessed by Heart Rate Variability in Pre- and Post-adolescent Japanese

    Open AccessYoshiyuki Fukuba, Hironori Sato et al.ARTICLEJournal of PHYSIOLOGICAL…2009Cited by: 1

    There are many studies with respect to the age-related change of the characteristics of beat-to-beat heart rate variability (HRV), reflected by cardiac autonomic control, especially focusing on adulthood (i.e., aging related to the incidence of metabolic syndrome) in Japanese individuals. However, it is not still clear how basic control matures during childhood. This study was, therefore, designed to explore the HRV characteristics of pre- and po…
