We aimed to investigate the interaction between the arterial baroreflex and muscle metaboreflexes (as reflected by alterations in the dynamic responses shown by muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA), mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR)) in humans. In nine healthy subjects (eight male, one female) who performed a sustained 1 min handgrip exercise at 50 % maximal voluntary contraction followed by forearm occlusion, a 5 s period of neck pressure (NP) (30 and 50 mmHg) or neck suction (NS)(-30 and -60 mmHg) was used to evaluate carotid baroreflex function at rest (CON) and during post-exercise muscle ischaemia (PEMI). In PEMI (as compared with CON), (a) the augmentations in MSNA and MAP elicited by 50 mmHg NP were both greater, (b) MSNA seemed to be suppressed by NS for a shorter period, (c) the decrease in MAP elicited by NS was smaller, and (d) MAP recovered to its initial level more quickly after NS. However, the HR responses to NS and NP were not different between PEMI and CON. These results suggest that during muscle metaboreflex activation, the dynamic arterial baroreflex response is modulated, as exemplified by the augmentation of the MSNA response to arterial baroreflex unloading (i.e. NP) and the reduction in the suppression of MSNA induced by baroreceptor stimulation (i.e. NS).
