Effect of CO2 set point on ventilatory response to exercise.

A Oren, K Wasserman, J A Davis

    Journal of Applied Physiology: Respiratory, Environmental and Exercise Physiology
    |July 1, 1981

    Summary

    Altered blood pH levels, specifically chronic metabolic acidosis or alkalosis, change the body's carbon dioxide pressure (PCO2) regulation during exercise. This directly impacts ventilation, increasing breathing rate when PCO2 is lower.

    Area of Science:

    • Exercise Physiology
    • Respiratory Physiology
    • Acid-Base Balance

    Background:

    • The ventilatory response to exercise is crucial for maintaining homeostasis.
    • Arterial carbon dioxide partial pressure (PCO2) is a key regulator of ventilation at rest and during exercise.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate how induced chronic metabolic acidosis and alkalosis affect the ventilatory response to exercise.
    • To determine if resting arterial PCO2 levels influence the ventilatory response during exercise.

    Main Methods:

    • Seven healthy adults underwent incremental and constant-load cycle ergometer tests under three conditions: control, chronic metabolic acidosis, and chronic metabolic alkalosis.
    • Ventilation, gas exchange, arterialized venous blood gases (pH, HCO3), and PCO2 were measured breath-by-breath and via blood sampling.

    Main Results:

    • Chronic metabolic acidosis lowered resting PCO2 (36.3 Torr) compared to control (43.7 Torr), while alkalosis elevated it (47.1 Torr).
    • These altered PCO2 levels remained stable during moderate exercise.
    • The ventilatory response (VE) to a given metabolic rate increment was significantly larger when PCO2 was lower (acidosis) than in the control state.

    Conclusions:

    • The hyperpnea (increased ventilation) observed during moderate exercise is influenced by the resting arterial PCO2 regulation.
    • Changes in acid-base balance that alter resting PCO2 directly modify the ventilatory response to a metabolic load during exercise.
