Four weeks of cycle training increases basal production of nitric oxide from the forearm
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine whether nontrained vascular beds might contribute to the beneficial effects of exercise, including reduced blood pressure by enhanced nitric oxide production. Thirteen healthy, sedentary male volunteers performed 4 wk of normal sedentary activity and 4 wk of cycle training in a randomized order. At the end of each intervention, venous occlusion plethysmography was used to study the forearm blood flow responses to intra-arterial infusions of the nitric oxide synthase inhibitor N(G)-monomethyl-L-arginine (L-NMMA), acetylcholine, and sodium nitroprusside. Training increased the maximal work-load and maximal oxygen consumption, whereas intrabrachial blood pressure was reduced. L-NMMA caused a greater vasoconstriction after training (P = 0.004). Net nitrate and nitrite consumption by the forearm was less after training both before and after administration of L-NMMA (P = 0.04), consistent with increased nitrate and nitrite production from nitric oxide metabolism. There was no difference in the response to acetylcholine or sodium nitroprusside between the two states. Preliminary studies showed an increase in forearm blood flow and blood viscosity after cycling, suggesting that elevated shear stress in this vascular bed may contribute to endothelial adaptation and the cardiovascular protective effects of exercise training.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
