Length Changes

As muscles are stretched, blood flow and oxygen delivery are compromised, and consequently muscle function is impaired. We tested the hypothesis that the structural microvascular sequellae associated with muscle extension in vivo would impair capillary red blood cell hemodynamics. We developed an intravital spinotrapezius preparation that facilitated direct on-line measurement and alteration of sarcomere length simultaneously with determination of capillary geometry and red blood cell flow dynamics. The range of spinotrapezius sarcomere lengths achievable in vivo was 2.17 +/- 0.05 to 3.13 +/- 0.11 microns. Capillary tortuosity decreased systematically with increases of sarcomere length up to 2.6 microns, at which point most capillaries appeared to be highly oriented along the fiber longitudinal axis. Further increases in sarcomere length above this value reduced mean capillary diameter from 5.61 +/- 0.03 microns at 2.4-2.6 microns sarcomere length to 4.12 +/- 0.05 microns at 3.2-3.4 microns sarcomere length. Over the range of physiological sarcomere lengths, bulk blood flow (radioactive microspheres) decreased approximately 40% from 24.3 +/- 7.5 to 14.5 +/- 4.6 ml.100 g-1.min-1. The proportion of continuously perfused capillaries, i.e., those with continuous flow throughout the 60-s observation period, decreased from 95.9 +/- 0.6% at the shortest sarcomere lengths to 56.5 +/- 0.7% at the longest sarcomere lengths and was correlated significantly with the reduced capillary diameter (r = 0.711, P < 0.01; n = 18). We conclude that alterations in capillary geometry and luminal diameter consequent to increased muscle sarcomere length are associated with a reduction in mean capillary red blood cell velocity and a greater proportion of capillaries in which red blood cell flow is stopped or intermittent. Thus not only does muscle stretching reduce bulk blood (and oxygen) delivery, it also alters capillary red blood cell flow dynamics, which may further impair blood-tissue oxygen exchange.

Abstract Nitrite was once thought to be inert in human physiology. However, research over the past few decades has established a link between nitrite and the production of nitric oxide (NO) that is potentiated under hypoxic and acidic conditions. Under this new role nitrite acts as a storage pool for bioavailable NO. The NO so produced is likely to play important roles in decreasing platelet activation, contributing to hypoxic vasodilation and minimizing blood-cell adhesion to endothelial cells. Researchers have proposed multiple mechanisms for nitrite reduction in the blood. However, NO production in blood must somehow overcome rapid scavenging by hemoglobin in order to be effective. Here we review the role of red blood cell hemoglobin in the reduction of nitrite and present recent research into mechanisms that may allow nitric oxide and other reactive nitrogen signaling species to escape the red blood cell.

Co2 Excretion

A spontaneously ventilating blood-perfused trout preparation and saline perfused gill preparations were utilized to investigate the role of the erythrocyte and branchial epithelium in CO2 excretion and acid-base regulation. CO, excretion (MCOCO2) in blood-perfused preparations was positively correlated with haematocrit (Hct), and was abolished completely during plasma-perfusion. Elevating HCO3- concentration of input blood from 10 to 25 mM significantly increased MCOCO2. fourfold in blood-perfused preparations as a result of increased entry of HCO into the red blood cell and not into the gill epithelium. Increased HCO3- concentration was without effect in totally saline-perfused coho salmon (Onchorynchus kisutch). The addition of 4-acetamido-4′-wo-thiocyanatostilbene-2, 2 disulfonic acid (SITS; 10−4 M) to input blood significantly reduced MCO, and oxygen uptake (Mg,OO2) in blood-perfused fish due to inhibition of erythrocytic HCO3-exchange. Unlike blood-perfused preparations, no saline-perfused preparation (isolated holobranchs or totally perfused rainbow trout or coho salmon) displayed measureable CO, excretion at physiological Pco and pH. Increased input PCOt in both blood-perfused and saline-perfused preparations significantly increased MCOt due to enhanced branchial diffusion of molecular CO2. It is concluded that the entry of HCO3- into the erythrocyte is the rate-limiting step in CO, excretion and that movement of HCO3- from plasma to gill epithelium cells in no way contributes to overall CO3 elimination.
