Poster summary

The ATP-sensitive K+ (KATP) channel is a class of inward rectifier K+ channels that can link local O2 availability to vasomotor tone across exercise-induced metabolic transients. This investigation tested the hypothesis that, if KATP channels are crucial to exercise hyperemia, inhibition via glibenclamide (GLI) would lower hindlimb skeletal muscle blood flow (BF) and vascular conductance (VC) during treadmill exercise. In 27 adult male Sprague Dawley rats mean arterial pressure (MAP), blood [lactate], and hindlimb muscle BF (radiolabelled microspheres) were determined at rest (n=6) or during exercise (n=6-8; 20, 40 and 60 m min-1, 5% incline, i.e. ~60-100% maximal oxygen uptake) under control and GLI conditions (5 mg kg-1, i.a). That KATP channel inhibition reduces hindlimb muscle BF during exercise in rats supports the obligatory contribution of KATP channels in large muscle mass exercise-induced hyperemia.
