Plasma cyclic nucleotide levels in exercise-induced asthma.

J P Hartley, C J Davies, T J Charles

    Thorax
    |November 1, 1981
    PubMed
    Summary

    Asthma patients show a blunted cyclic AMP response to exercise, indicating potential issues with catecholamine production or beta-receptor function. This may contribute to exercise-induced asthma (EIA) symptoms.

    Area of Science:

    • Pulmonary Medicine
    • Respiratory Physiology
    • Exercise Immunology

    Background:

    • Sympatho-adrenal system overactivity in asthma is known, evidenced by bronchoconstriction with beta-blockade.
    • The role of catecholamine response during exercise in exercise-induced asthma (EIA) remains unclear.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the relationship between catecholamine response and EIA by measuring cyclic nucleotide levels during exercise.
    • To determine if altered cyclic nucleotide levels contribute to the pathophysiology of EIA.

    Main Methods:

    • Arterial plasma cyclic nucleotide levels (cAMP and cGMP) were measured in 10 subjects with EIA and 5 normal subjects during exercise.
    • A subset of normal subjects repeated the protocol before and after salbutamol treatment to assess medication effects.

    Main Results:

    • Normal subjects exhibited a significant increase in cyclic AMP (cAMP) during exercise, reflecting beta-stimulation.
    • Asthmatic subjects showed no significant change in cAMP during or after exercise.
    • Asthmatic subjects displayed a significant increase in cyclic GMP (cGMP) post-exercise.
    • Salbutamol treatment in normal subjects did not alter the exercise-induced cAMP response.

    Conclusions:

    • The diminished cAMP response in asthmatic subjects during exercise is not attributable to their medication.
    • Results suggest potential impaired catecholamine production or beta-receptor hyporesponsiveness in some individuals with EIA.
    • These findings may contribute to understanding the mechanisms underlying exercise-induced asthma.
