A comparison of wavelet-based action potential detection from the NeuroAmp and the Iowa Bioengineering Nerve Traffic Analysis system. J Neurophysiol 2024; 131:1168-1174. [PMID: 38629146 DOI: 10.1152/jn.00448.2023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2023] [Revised: 03/25/2024] [Accepted: 04/12/2024] [Indexed: 06/01/2024] Open
Abstract
Microneurographic recordings of muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) reflect postganglionic sympathetic axonal activity directed toward the skeletal muscle vasculature. Recordings are typically evaluated for spontaneous bursts of MSNA; however, the filtering and integration of raw neurograms to obtain multiunit bursts conceals the underlying c-fiber discharge behavior. The continuous wavelet transform with matched mother wavelet has permitted the assessment of action potential discharge patterns, but this approach uses a mother wavelet optimized for an amplifier that is no longer commercially available (University of Iowa Bioengineering Nerve Traffic Analysis System; Iowa NTA). The aim of this project was to determine the morphology and action potential detection performance of mother wavelets created from the commercially available NeuroAmp (ADinstruments), from distinct laboratories, compared with a mother wavelet generated from the Iowa NTA. Four optimized mother wavelets were generated in a two-phase iterative process from independent datasets, collected by separate laboratories (one Iowa NTA, three NeuroAmp). Action potential extraction performance of each mother wavelet was compared for each of the NeuroAmp-based datasets. The total number of detected action potentials was not significantly different across wavelets. However, the predictive value of action potential detection was reduced when the Iowa NTA wavelet was used to detect action potentials in NeuroAmp data, but not different across NeuroAmp wavelets. To standardize approaches, we recommend a NeuroAmp-optimized mother wavelet be used for the evaluation of sympathetic action potential discharge behavior when microneurographic data are collected with this system.NEW & NOTEWORTHY The morphology of custom mother wavelets produced across laboratories using the NeuroAmp was highly similar, but distinct from the University of Iowa Bioengineering Nerve Traffic Analysis System. Although the number of action potentials detected was similar between collection systems and mother wavelets, the predictive value differed. Our data suggest action potential analysis using the continuous wavelet transform requires a mother wavelet optimized for the collection system.

Abstract
Sleep disturbance, one of the most common menopausal symptoms, contributes to autonomic dysfunction and is linked to hypertension and cardiovascular risk. Longitudinal studies suggest that hyperreactivity of blood pressure (BP) to a stressor can predict the future development of hypertension. It remains unknown if postmenopausal females who experience sleep disturbance (SDG) demonstrate greater hemodynamic and sympathetic neural hyperreactivity to a stressor. We hypothesized that postmenopausal females with reported sleep disturbance would exhibit increased hemodynamic and sympathetic reactivity to a stressor compared with postmenopausal females without sleep disturbance (non-SDG). Fifty-five postmenopausal females (age, 62 ± 4 yr old; SDG, n = 36; non-SDG; n = 19) completed two study visits. The Menopause-Specific Quality of Life Questionnaire (MENQOL) was used to assess the presence of sleep disturbance (MENQOL sleep scale, ≥2 units). Beat-to-beat BP (finger plethysmography), heart rate (HR; electrocardiogram), and muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA; microneurography; SDG, n = 25; non-SDG, n = 15) were continuously measured during a 10-min baseline and 2-min stressor (cold pressor test; CPT) in both groups. Menopause age and body mass index were similar between groups (P > 0.05). There were no differences between resting BP, HR, or MSNA (P > 0.05). HR and BP reactivity were not different between SDG and non-SDG (P > 0.05). In contrast, MSNA reactivity had a more rapid increase in the first 30 s of the CPT in the SDG (burst incidence, Δ10.2 ± 14.8 bursts/100 hb) compared with the non-SDG (burst incidence, Δ4.0 ± 14.8 bursts/100 hb, time × group, P = 0.011). Our results demonstrate a more rapid sympathetic neural reactivity to a CPT in postmenopausal females with perceived sleep disturbance, a finding that aligns with and advances recent evidence that sleep disturbance is associated with sympathetic neural hyperactivity in postmenopausal females.NEW & NOTEWORTHY This is the first study to demonstrate that muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) to a cold pressor test is augmented in postmenopausal females with perceived sleep disturbance. The more rapid increase in MSNA reactivity during the cold pressor test in the sleep disturbance group was present despite similar increases in the perceived pain levels between groups. Baseline MSNA burst incidence and burst frequency, as well as blood pressure and heart rate, were similar between the sleep disturbance and nonsleep disturbance groups.

Abstract
The incidence of glomerular diseases is increasing worldwide due to increased prevalence of obesity which is a major risk factor for type-2 diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disorders.Ghrelin, an orexigenic peptide hormone, has been implicated in obesity, and its impact on the pathology and function of the kidneys was found to be significant. Ghrelin known to regulate energy homeostasis and growth hormone release, has been shown to modulate critical signaling pathways involved in the health and survival of podocytes. These derangements directly affect glomerular function and manifest as impaired glomerular filtration barrier and leakage of albumin into urine. Although the pathological features of the above-mentioned disorders are different, they interestingly lead to similar clinical features of glomerular damage. The pathological events are majorly initiated by endocrine imbalance leading to abnormal activation of downstream signaling pathways involved in the development of glomerulosclerosis. In fact, obesity increases the risk of developing chronic kidney disease by altering the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines and adipokines, activating the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), promoting lipotoxicity, oxidative stress and fibrosis within the kidneys. Whilst these bioregulators are well described, their direct involvement in renal homeostasis is still mostly elusive. This review summarized previous and recent evidence on the endocrine properties of ghrelin and perivascular adipose tissue involved in modulating kidney physiology.

[PMID: 37328294 DOI: 10.1124/pharmrev.122.000782] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2022] [Revised: 04/20/2023] [Accepted: 05/31/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023] Open
Abstract
Pharmacological agents used to treat or manage diseases can modify the level of heat strain experienced by chronically ill and elderly patients via different mechanistic pathways. Human thermoregulation is a crucial homeostatic process that maintains body temperature within a narrow range during heat stress through dry (i.e., increasing skin blood flow) and evaporative (i.e., sweating) heat loss, as well as active inhibition of thermogenesis, which is crucial to avoid overheating. Medications can independently and synergistically interact with aging and chronic disease to alter homeostatic responses to rising body temperature during heat stress. This review focuses on the physiologic changes, with specific emphasis on thermolytic processes, associated with medication use during heat stress. The review begins by providing readers with a background of the global chronic disease burden. Human thermoregulation and aging effects are then summarized to give an understanding of the unique physiologic changes faced by older adults. The effects of common chronic diseases on temperature regulation are outlined in the main sections. Physiologic impacts of common medications used to treat these diseases are reviewed in detail, with emphasis on the mechanisms by which these medications alter thermolysis during heat stress. The review concludes by providing perspectives on the need to understand the effects of medication use in hot environments, as well as a summary table of all clinical considerations and research needs of the medications included in this review. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: Long-term medications modulate thermoregulatory function, resulting in excess physiological strain and predisposing patients to adverse health outcomes during prolonged exposures to extreme heat during rest and physical work (e.g., exercise). Understanding the medication-specific mechanisms of altered thermoregulation has importance in both clinical and research settings, paving the way for work toward refining current medication prescription recommendations and formulating mitigation strategies for adverse drug effects in the heat in chronically ill patients.

Abstract
Insulin acts centrally to stimulate sympathetic vasoconstrictor outflow to skeletal muscle and peripherally to promote vasodilation. Given these divergent actions, the "net effect" of insulin on the transduction of muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) into vasoconstriction and thus, blood pressure (BP) remains unclear. We hypothesized that sympathetic transduction to BP would be attenuated during hyperinsulinemia compared with baseline. In 22 young healthy adults, MSNA (microneurography), and beat-to-beat BP (Finometer or arterial catheter) were continuously recorded, and signal-averaging was performed to quantify the mean arterial pressure (MAP) and total vascular conductance (TVC; Modelflow) responses following spontaneous bursts of MSNA at baseline and during a euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp. Hyperinsulinemia significantly increased MSNA burst frequency and mean burst amplitude (baseline: 46 ± 6 au; insulin: 65 ± 16 au, P < 0.001) but did not alter MAP. The peak MAP (baseline: 3.2 ± 1.5 mmHg; insulin: 3.0 ± 1.9 mmHg, P = 0.67) and nadir TVC (P = 0.45) responses following all MSNA bursts were not different between conditions indicating preserved sympathetic transduction. However, when MSNA bursts were segregated into quartiles based on their amplitudes at baseline and compared with similar amplitude bursts during hyperinsulinemia, the peak MAP and TVC responses were blunted (e.g., largest burst quartile: MAP, baseline: Δ4.4 ± 1.7 mmHg; hyperinsulinemia: Δ3.0 ± 0.8 mmHg, P = 0.02). Notably, ∼15% of bursts during hyperinsulinemia exceeded the size of any burst at baseline, yet the MAP/TVC responses to these larger bursts (MAP, Δ4.9 ± 1.4 mmHg) did not differ from the largest baseline bursts (P = 0.47). These findings indicate that increases in MSNA burst amplitude contribute to the overall maintenance of sympathetic transduction during hyperinsulinemia.

Abstract
Vascular insulin resistance, a major characteristic of obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D), manifests with blunting of insulin-induced vasodilation. Although there is evidence that females are more whole body insulin sensitive than males in the healthy state, whether sex differences exist in vascular insulin sensitivity is unclear. Also uncertain is whether weight loss can reestablish vascular insulin sensitivity in T2D. The purpose of this investigation was to 1) establish if sex differences in vasodilatory responses to insulin exist in absence of disease, 2) determine whether female sex affords protection against the development of vascular insulin resistance with long-term overnutrition and obesity, and 3) examine if diet-induced weight loss can restore vascular insulin sensitivity in men and women with T2D. First, we show in healthy mice and humans that sex does not influence insulin-induced femoral artery dilation and insulin-stimulated leg blood flow, respectively. Second, we provide evidence that female mice are protected against impairments in insulin-induced dilation caused by overnutrition-induced obesity. Third, we show that men and women exhibit comparable levels of vascular insulin resistance when T2D develops but that diet-induced weight loss is effective at improving insulin-stimulated leg blood flow, particularly in women. Finally, we provide indirect evidence that these beneficial effects of weight loss may be mediated by a reduction in endothelin-1. In aggregate, the present data indicate that female sex confers protection against obesity-induced vascular insulin resistance and provide supportive evidence that, in women with T2D, vascular insulin resistance can be remediated with diet-induced weight loss.

Abstract
Impaired endothelial insulin signaling and consequent blunting of insulin-induced vasodilation is a feature of type 2 diabetes (T2D) that contributes to vascular disease and glycemic dysregulation. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying endothelial insulin resistance remain poorly known. Herein, we tested the hypothesis that endothelial insulin resistance in T2D is attributed to reduced expression of heat shock protein 72(HSP72). HSP72 is a cytoprotective chaperone protein that can be upregulated with heating and is reported to promote insulin sensitivity in metabolically active tissues, in part via inhibition of JNK activity. Accordingly, we further hypothesized that, in T2D individuals, seven days of passive heat treatment via hot water immersion to waist-level would improve leg blood flow responses to an oral glucose load (i.e., endogenous insulin stimulation) via induction of endothelial HSP72. In contrast, we found that: 1) endothelial insulin resistance in T2D mice and humans was not associated with reduced HSP72 in aortas and venous endothelial cells, respectively; 2) after passive heat treatment, improved leg blood flow responses to an oral glucose load did not parallel with increased endothelial HSP72; 3) downregulation of HSP72 (via small-interfering RNA) or upregulation of HSP72 (via heating) in cultured endothelial cells did not impair or enhance insulin signaling, respectively, nor was JNK activity altered. Collectively, these findings do not support the hypothesis that reduced HSP72 is a key driver of endothelial insulin resistance in T2D but provide novel evidence that lower-body heating may be an effective strategy for improving leg blood flow responses to glucose ingestion-induced hyperinsulinemia.

Role of the arterial baroreflex in the sympathetic response to hyperinsulinemia in adult humans. Am J Physiol Endocrinol Metab 2022; 322:E355-E365. [PMID: 35187960 PMCID: PMC8993537 DOI: 10.1152/ajpendo.00391.2021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2021] [Revised: 01/28/2022] [Accepted: 02/14/2022] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
Muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) increases during hyperinsulinemia, primarily attributed to central nervous system effects. Whether peripheral vasodilation induced by insulin further contributes to increased MSNA via arterial baroreflex-mediated mechanisms requires further investigation. Accordingly, we examined baroreflex modulation of the MSNA response to hyperinsulinemia. We hypothesized that rescuing peripheral resistance with coinfusion of the vasoconstrictor phenylephrine would attenuate the MSNA response to hyperinsulinemia. We further hypothesized that the insulin-mediated increase in MSNA would be recapitulated with another vasodilator (sodium nitroprusside, SNP). In 33 young healthy adults (28 M/5F), MSNA (microneurography) and arterial blood pressure (BP, Finometer/brachial catheter) were measured, and total peripheral resistance (TPR, ModelFlow) and baroreflex sensitivity were calculated at rest and during intravenous infusion of insulin (n = 20) or SNP (n = 13). A subset of participants receiving insulin (n = 7) was coinfused with phenylephrine. Insulin infusion decreased TPR (P = 0.01) and increased MSNA (P < 0.01), with no effect on arterial baroreflex sensitivity or BP (P > 0.05). Coinfusion with phenylephrine returned TPR and MSNA to baseline, with no effect on arterial baroreflex sensitivity (P > 0.05). Similar to insulin, SNP decreased TPR (P < 0.02) and increased MSNA (P < 0.01), with no effect on arterial baroreflex sensitivity (P > 0.12). Acute hyperinsulinemia shifts the baroreflex stimulus-response curve to higher MSNA without changing sensitivity, likely due to insulin's peripheral vasodilatory effects. Results show that peripheral vasodilation induced by insulin contributes to increased MSNA during hyperinsulinemia.NEW & NOTEWORTHY We hypothesized that elevation in muscle sympathetic nervous system activity (MSNA) during hyperinsulinemia is mediated by its peripheral vasodilator effect on the arterial baroreflex. Using three separate protocols in humans, we observed increases in both MSNA and cardiac output during hyperinsulinemia, which we attributed to the baroreflex response to peripheral vasodilation induced by insulin. Results show that peripheral vasodilation induced by insulin contributes to increased MSNA during hyperinsulinemia.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Herein, we summarize recent advances which provide new insights into the role of the autonomic nervous system in the control of blood flow and blood pressure during hyperinsulinemia. We also highlight remaining gaps in knowledge as it pertains to the translation of findings to relevant human chronic conditions such as obesity, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes. RECENT FINDINGS Our findings in insulin-sensitive adults show that increases in muscle sympathetic nerve activity with hyperinsulinemia do not result in greater sympathetically mediated vasoconstriction in the peripheral circulation. Both an attenuation of α-adrenergic-receptor vasoconstriction and augmented β-adrenergic vasodilation in the setting of high insulin likely explain these findings. In the absence of an increase in sympathetically mediated restraint of peripheral vasodilation during hyperinsulinemia, blood pressure is supported by increases in cardiac output in insulin-sensitive individuals. We highlight a dynamic interplay between central and peripheral mechanisms during hyperinsulinemia to increase sympathetic nervous system activity and maintain blood pressure in insulin-sensitive adults. Whether these results translate to the insulin-resistant condition and implications for long-term cardiovascular regulation warrants further exploration.

Abstract
Obesity is a disease which leads to the development of many other disorders. Excessive accumulation of lipids in adipose tissue (AT) leads to metabolic changes, including hypertrophy of adipocytes, macrophage migration, changes in the composition of immune cells, and impaired secretion of adipokines. Adipokines are cytokines produced by AT and greatly influence human health. Obesity and the pro-inflammatory profile of adipokines lead to the development of chronic kidney disease (CKD) through different mechanisms. In obesity and adipokine profile, there are gender differences that characterize the male gender as more susceptible to metabolic disorders accompanying obesity, including impaired renal function. The relationship between impaired adipokine secretion and renal disease is two-sided. In the developed CKD, the concentration of adipokines in the serum is additionally disturbed due to their insufficient excretion by the excretory system caused by renal pathology. Increased levels of adipokines affect the nutritional status and cardiovascular risk (CVR) of patients with CKD. This article aims to systematize the current knowledge on the influence of obesity, AT, and adipokine secretion disorders on the pathogenesis of CKD and their influence on nutritional status and CVR in patients with CKD.
