Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study investigated the combined effects of ingesting glucose or fructose during post-exercise hypotension on central and peripheral hemodynamics. Our results suggested that healthy subjects can suppress severe hypotension by vasoconstriction of the limbs even when glucose is ingested during post-exercise hypotension. The blood pressure elevated by oral fructose ingestion at rest, however, the rise of blood pressure was smaller by exercise-derived vasodilation in limbs when fructose is ingested after aerobic exercise. These difference of the blood pressure and regional vascular responses between glucose and fructose ingestion may not be related to gastric emptying.
