Abstract: After overnight food and fluid restriction, nine healthy males were examined before, during, and after lower body positive pressure (LBPP) of 11 +/- 1 mmHg (mean +/- SE) for 30 min and before, during, and after graded lower body negative pressure (LBNP) of -10 +/- 1, -20 +/- 2, and -30 +/- 2 mmHg for 20 min each. LBPP and LBNP were performed with the subject in the supine position in a plastic box encasing the subject from the xiphoid process and down, thus including the splanchnic area. Central venous pressure (CVP) during supine rest was 7.5 +/- 0.5 mmHg, increasing to 13.4 +/- 0.8 mmHg (P less than 0.001) during LBPP and decreasing significantly at each step of LBNP to 2.0 +/- 0.5 mmHg (P less than 0.001) at 15 min of -30 +/- 2 mmHg LBNP. Plasma arginine vasopressin (AVP) did not change significantly in face of this large variation in CVP of 11.4 mmHg. Mean arterial pressure increased significantly during LBPP from 100 +/- 2 to 117 +/- 3 Torr (P less than 0.001) and only at one point during LBNP of -30 +/- 2 mmHg from 102 +/- 1 to 115 +/- 5 mmHg (P less than 0.05). Heart rate did not change during LBPP but increased slightly from 51 +/- 3 to 55 +/- 3 beats/min (P less than 0.05) only at 7 min of LBNP of -30 +/- 2 mmHg. Plasma osmolality, sodium, and potassium did not change during the experiment. Hemoglobin concentration increased during LBPP and LBNP, whereas hematocrit only increased during LBNP.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
