Key result
Cyclic intermittent hypoxia increased blood flow, shear rate, and shear-mediated dilation of the internal carotid artery in young adults.
Why the study?
The study explored the effects of cyclic intermittent hypoxia on shear-mediated dilation of the internal carotid artery as a potential index of cerebral endothelial function.
Does cyclic intermittent hypoxia (IH) improve shear-mediated dilation of the internal carotid artery (ICA) in young adults?
Does cyclic intermittent hypoxia (IH) improve shear-mediated dilation of the internal carotid artery (ICA) in young adults?
Cyclic intermittent hypoxia enhances shear-mediated dilation of the internal carotid artery, suggesting potential as a nonpharmacological therapy to optimize cerebral vascular health.
We explored the effects of cyclic intermittent hypoxia (IH) on shear-mediated dilation of the internal carotid artery (ICA), a potential index of cerebral endothelial function, in young adults. Cyclic IH increased blood flow and shear rate in the ICA and, as a result, increased shear-mediated dilation of the ICA. These data suggest that cyclic IH could potentially be applied as a nonpharmacological therapy to optimize cerebral vascular health.
