New Findings What is the central question of this study?What is the effect of an elevated baseline blood flow, induced by high-dose intra-arterial infusion of either adenosine or ATP, on the rapid-onset vasodilatory response to a single forearm muscle contraction? What is the main finding and its importance?The peak response to a single contraction is unaffected by augmented baseline blood flow, and thus, is likely to be attributable to a feedforward vasodilatory mechanism. The hyperaemic responses to single muscle contractions are proportional to exercise intensity, which, in turn, is proportional to tissue metabolic demand. Hence, we tested the hypothesis that the rapid-onset vasodilatory response after a single muscle contraction would be unaffected when baseline blood flow was increased via high-dose intra-arterial infusion of either adenosine (ADO) or ATP. Twenty-four healthy young participants (28 +/- 1 years) performed a single forearm contraction (20% maximal voluntary contraction) 75 min after commencement of a continuous infusion of ADO (n = 6), ATP (n = 8) or saline (control; n = 10). Brachial artery diameter and blood velocity were measured using Doppler ultrasound. Resting forearm vascular conductance (FVC; in millilitres per minute per 100 mmHg per decilitre of forearm volume) was significantly higher during ADO (33 +/- 17) and ATP infusion (33 +/- 17) compared with the control infusion (8 +/- 3; P < 0.05). The peak FVCs post-contraction during ADO and ATP infusions were significantly greater than during the control infusion (P < 0.05), but not different from one another. The peak change in FVC from baseline was similar in all three conditions (control, 14 +/- 1; ADO, 24 +/- 2; and ATP, 23 +/- 6; P = 0.15). Total FVC (area under the curve) did not differ significantly between ADO and ATP (333 +/- 69 and 440 +/- 125); however, total FVC during ATP infusion was significantly greater compared with the control value (150 +/- 19; P < 0.05). We conclude that the peak response to a single contraction is unaffected by augmented baseline blood flow and is therefore likely to be attributable to a feedforward vasodilatory mechanism.
