ABSTRACT: To evaluate the relationship between lactate release and [lac](art) and to investigate the influence of the catecholamines on the lactate release, 14 healthy men [age 25+/-3 (SE) year] were studied by superimposing cycle on forearm exercise, both at 65% of their maximal power reached in respective incremental tests. Handgrip exercise was performed for 30 min at 65% of peak power. In addition, between the tenth and the 22nd minute, cycling with the same intensity was superimposed. The increase in venous lactate concentration ([lac](ven)) (rest: 1.3+/-0.4 mmol.l(-1); 3rd min: 3.9+/-0.8 mmol.l(-1)) begins with the forearm exercise, whereas arterial lactate concentration ([lac](art)) remains almost unchanged. Once cycling has been added to forearm exercise (COMB), [lac](art) increases with a concomitant increase in [lac](ven) (12th min: [lac](art), 3.2+/-1.3 mmol.l(-1); [lac](ven), 5.7+/-2.2 mmol.l(-1)). A correlation between oxygen tension (P(v)O(2)) and [lac](ven) cannot be detected. There is a significant correlation between [lac](art) and norepinephrine ([NE]) (y=0.25x+1.2; r=0.815; p<0.01) but no correlation between lactate release and epinephrine ([EPI]) at moderate intensity. Our main conclusion is that lactate release from exercising muscles at moderate intensities is neither dependent on P(v)O(2) nor on [EPI] in the blood.

ABSTRACT: Subatmospheric pressure applied to the human body from the iliac crest caudally (Lower Body Negative Pressure, LBNP) has been known to cause various central and peripheral cardiovascular reactions. We investigated the effects of such a LBNP maneuver on energy metabolism of human skeletal leg muscle. We tested the hypothesis whether an altered fluid distribution induced by LBNP may cause any effect on aerobic and/or anaerobic energy metabolism and cellular pH-regulation during isometric contraction monitored by 31P-MRS.
