Abstract
The effect of hypoxia on [human] muscle metabolism was studied in the human forearm by the registration of arterial-deep venous concentration differences of O2, glucose, lactate, pyruvate, acetoacetate and muscular blood flow after short, transient arrest of the forearm circulation. These studies were performed during the i.v. infusion of physiological saline (n = 4), of a kallikrein-trypsin inhibitor (n = 4) and of kallikrein-trypsin inhibitor plus the intrabrachial-arterial infusion of bradykinin (n = 4). Infusion of the kallikrein-trypsin inhibitor significantly reduced the well known hypoxia induced acceleration of muscular glucose uptake due to a reduction of blood flow and of muscular glucose extraction. These changes of muscular glucose metabolism were accompanied by more or less striking effects on the balances of O2, lactate and acetoacetate. Physiological doses of bradykinin into the brachial artery during the infusion of a kallikrein-trypsin inhibitor restored almost completely the metabolic response during hypoxia. There was a participation of the kallikrein-kinin system in the physiological regulation of muscular substrate metabolism.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
