Figure 8. Exercise-induced changes in ascorbate radical (A•−) production and associated changes in cerebral autoregulation index (ARD).
Eight physically active healthy men (35±7 yrs) exercised (semi-recumbent cycling) to exhaustion. Changes from rest to exhaustion for A•− were negatively correlated with ARI, suggesting a link between exercise-induced increases in free radicals and impaired dynamic cerebral autoregulation.
