abstract：:Parabolic flight is used to create short successive periods of changing gravity in a range between 0 and 1.8 Gz (1 Gz: 9.81 m/s(2)). The purpose of the present study was to evaluate whether cyclic variations in heart rate during +/-20 s periods of stable gravity in parabolic flight reflect autonomic modulation of card...

abstract：PURPOSE:We have argued that breathing 40 % O2 attenuates exercise hyperaemia by decreasing production of O2-dependent vasodilators. However, breathing 100 % O2 attenuated endothelium-dependent vasodilatation evoked by acetylcholine and this effect was prevented by vitamin C, implicating reactive oxygen species (ROS). W...
