Haemoglobin oxygenation state regulates exercise muscle perfusion; leaves open clinical translation in anaemia or hypoxia.
How do alterations in red blood cell count and haemoglobin oxygenation affect skeletal muscle blood flow and systemic perfusion during exercise in healthy males?
Local regulation of skeletal muscle blood flow and oxygen delivery primarily senses alterations in the oxygenation state of haemoglobin rather than just red blood cell count.
González‐Alonso et al. (2006) studied this question.
