Exercise training (ExTr) has been associated with alterations in neural control of the circulation, including effects on arterial baroreflex function. The nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS) is the primary termination site of cardiovascular afferents and critical in the regulation of baroreflex-mediated changes in heart rate (HR) and sympathetic nervous system outflow. The purpose of the present study was to determine whether ExTr is associated with alterations in neurotransmitter regulation of…

Exercise training attenuates increases in lumbar sympathetic nerve activity produced by stimulation of the rostral ventrolateral medulla.

    Journal of applied physiology
  • 2007
TLDR
Results suggest that ExTr may reduce increases in LSNA due to reduced activation of the rostral ventrolateral medulla, and speculate that the relatively enhanced activation of LSNA in sedentary animals may be related to the increased incidence of cardiovascular disease associated with a sedentary lifestyle.
(In)activity-dependent alterations in resting and reflex control of splanchnic sympathetic nerve activity.
TLDR
The results suggest that a sedentary lifestyle increases the risk of cardiovascular disease by augmenting resting and reflex-mediated sympathetic output to the splanchnic circulation and also by increasing vascular sensitivity to adrenergic stimulation.
Central mechanisms of cardiovascular regulation during exercise : Integrative functions of the nucleus of the solitary tract
TLDR
The GABAergic inter-neurons within the NTS may be involved in baroreceptor reflex resetting by limiting the degree of excitation of barosensitive NTS neurons, and thus are capable of ‘continuous’ increases in sympathetic nerve activity.
The NTS and integration of cardiovascular control during exercise in normotensive and hypertensive individuals
TLDR
Findings reinforce the paramount importance of the NTS in integration of cardiovascular control during exercise in both sedentary and trained individuals.

Exercise changes regional vascular control by commissural NTS in spontaneously hypertensive rats.
TLDR
The data suggest that the swimming exercise induced changes in commNTS neurons, as shown by a greater enhancement of hindlimb vasodilatation in WKY vs. SHR rats in response to GABAergic inhibition of these neurons.
Sedentary conditions and enhanced responses to GABA in the RVLM: role of the contralateral RVLM.
TLDR
The results suggest that the contralateral RVLM plays an important role in buffering responses to inhibition of the ipsilateral RVLM under sedentary but not physically active conditions, and enhanced sympathoinhibition may act to reduce already elevated sympathetic nervous system activity following sedentary conditions.

  • 2011
TLDR
This review of studies that investigate aerobic exercise training protocols to identify the cardiovascular adaptations that may be the result of central nervous system plasticity due to chronic exercise suggests that the beneficial effects of physical activity may be due, at least in part, to reductions in sympathetic nervous system activity.
Selective enhancement of glutamate-mediated pressor responses after GABAA receptor blockade in the RVLM of sedentary versus spontaneous wheel running rats
TLDR
Results suggest that sedentary compared to active conditions enhance GABAergic inhibition of glutamate-sensitive neurons in the RVLM that are involved in blood pressure regulation, and by mechanisms that do not involve LSNA.

Exercise training attenuates baroreflex regulation of nerve activity in rabbits.
TLDR
It is demonstrated that endurance exercise training significantly attenuated baroreflex control of HR and RSNA in conscious rabbits.
Effect of exercise training on RSNA, baroreflex control, and blood pressure responsiveness.
TLDR
ET produces 1) no change in resting MAP but a significant decrease in RSNA and AP responsiveness and 2) partial impairment of baroreflexes, i.e., bradycardic responses and RSNA during MAP decrease.
Neurochemical modulation of cardiovascular control in the nucleus tractus solitarius
GABA(A) receptor activation at medullary sympathetic neurons contributes to postexercise hypotension.
TLDR
Increased GABA signaling at RVLM neurons may contribute to PEH, and baroreflex control of RVLM neuronal activity operated with a reduced gain during PEH.

TLDR
The current data support the view that neurogenic hypertension is mediated by increased excitatory drive of rostral ventrolateral medulla sympathoexcitatory neurons.
Exercise training and the arterial baroreflex.
TLDR
Findings support the concept that the trained individual is at disadvantage during hypotensive episodes and that endurance training will attenuate the sympathetic component of the arterial baroreflex.
Daily spontaneous running did not alter vagal afferent reactivity.
TLDR
The hypothesis that daily spontaneous running (DSR) would enhance cardiopulmonary vagal afferent responses to mechanical (increase in left atrial pressure, LAP) and chemical (phenyl biguanide, PBG) stimulation was tested and it was found that DSR did not change vagalAfferent reactivity to mechanical or chemical stimulation.

Role of arterial baroreceptor function on cardiovascular adjustments to acute and chronic dynamic exercise.
TLDR
The series of experiments in rats indicate that the arterial baroreceptors are actively involved in the reflex control of circulation during acute and chronic exercise, and the more pronounced increase in mean arterial pressure during all exercise period observed in sino-aortic denervated rats, compared to sham-operated rats, suggests that the arteries restrains the increase in blood pressure during dynamic exercise.
