Effect of normoxemic and hypoxemic exercise on renin and aldosterone

J. W. Shigeoka, G. L. Colice and G. Ramirez

Five subjects (group 1) performed progressive treadmill exercise on 2 separate days, once while breathing room air (normoxemic) and the other time while breathing gas with a fractional inspired O2 of 17% (hypoxemic). Five other subjects (group 2) performed two progressive treadmill exercise tests on each of 2 separate days in a crossover design. On 1 day normoxemic exercise was first, followed by hypoxemic exercise, and on the other day the pattern was reversed. Plasma renin activity (PRA) increased to a similar extent with hypoxemic exercise as with normoxemic exercise. Plasma aldosterone concentrations (PAC) rose to a significantly higher level during normoxemic exercise than with hypoxemic exercise. Comparing changes in PRA to PAC with progressive exercise revealed dissociation of PAC from PRA during hypoxemic exercise. The PAC response remained depressed when normoxemic exercise followed hypoxemic exercise. These results indicate that hypoxemia interferes with PRA-mediated aldosterone secretions. The mechanism of this inhibition is unclear.
