Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of repeated RIPC and exercise, on exercise performance, skeletal muscle responses and circulating cellular and humoral biology in humans


Clinical Trial Description

Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) results in a powerful and widespread protective effect against subsequent prolonged ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury of distant organs and systemic inflammatory responses, both of which are key elements in the evolution of local and multiorgan effects of many clinical IR syndromes. The signal transduction within the target organ to generate ischemia tolerance, and the effects of RIPC on systemic anti-inflammatory pathways, however, remain to be elucidated fully. Particularly, data regarding the mechanisms of 'second window' protection (a resurgence of protection 24-72 hrs after the initial RIPC stimulus) is scant; even less is known of the effects of repeated RIPC, and a potential 'third window' of protection. Our preliminary data and several recent publications have shown that the biology of RIPC and exercise show considerable overlap. This research has raised the possibility of a reciprocal effect between RIPC and exercise, with chronic exercise being a model of the potential effects of 'chronic preconditioning'. This is relevant, as repeated RIPC might be a strategy to improve exercise function in those with limited exercise tolerance e.g. heart failure. ;
