Vascular dynamics and peripheral oxygen uptake in obese individuals during progressive physical exercise

Respiration Oct 08, 2017

Brunani A, et al. - Obese men show higher O2 consumption than lean men during physical exercise, with a trend toward higher peripheral O2 extraction; possibly due to their larger muscle mass. In this study, endothelin-1 (ET-1) and nitric oxide (NO) were measured during a progressive submaximal exercise in obese and lean men. Findings revealed that obese and lean men exhibited different ET-1 and NO levels during physical exercise. This inference may support the hypothesis that increased O2 consumption in obesity is due to different behaviors of the cardiorespiratory and circulatory systems.
