  2. 1. Severe hypoxemia during apnea in humans : influence of cardiovascular responses

    Author : Peter Lindholm; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Diving response; breath holding; bradycardia; vasoconstriction; hypoxia;

    Abstract : When a diving human holds his or her breath, the heart beat slows and the blood vessels constrict in large portions of the body. In diving mammals such as seals, similar responses effectively conserve oxygen for the brain, enabling them to dive very deep and to stay underwater for a long time. READ MORE

  4. 2. Response of human skeletal muscle to chronic and acute exercise and ischemia : muscle dimensions, tissue water and blood flow as measured by magnetic resonance imaging and comparative methods

    Author : Anders T Nygren; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Bloodflow; cross-sectional area; exercise; fiber area; Gd-DTPA; glycogen; human; hypotrophy; intermittent claudication; ischemia; magnetic resonance imaging; metabolism; perfusion; reflex sympathetic activity skeletal muscle; training; transverse relaxation; ultrasonography.;

    Abstract : The aim of this study was to investigate the response of human skeletal muscle to exercise, training and ischemi and to evaluate if magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) could be used to measure regional muscle cross-sectional area, muscle perfusion and detect muscle ischemia in patients with intermittent claudication. For this purpose studies were performed on 29 healthy young volunteers and 7 patients with intermittent claudication. READ MORE

  5. 3. The search for human skeletal muscle memory : exercise effects on the transcriptome and epigenome

    Author : Maléne Lindholm; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Regular physical activity is an environmental stimulus that is highly associated to many health benefits, while physical inactivity is detrimental for health and physical function. Regular exercise training is used in the prevention and treatment of a large number of disease conditions, including obesity, type II diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancer, and reduces the risk for premature death.

  6. 4. Skeletal muscle HIF-1 and exercise

    Author : Helene Rundqvist; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Regular physical activity prevents and improves a number of disease conditions and reduces the risk for premature death substantially. From a clinical as well as a basic science point of view it is important to create a more fundamental understanding of the molecular mechanisms that contribute to the improved functional capacity induced by regular physical activity.

  7. 5. Adjuvant strategies in exercise performance for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease - COPD

    Author : Gun Faager; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a multicomponent disease which affects both the lungs and organs outside the lungs. Patients with moderate to severe COPD are restricted by dyspnoea, especially during physical activities. READ MORE
