| Abstract | Central blood volume loss to venous pooling in the lower extremities and vasoconstrictor response are commonly viewed as key factors to distinguish between individuals with high and low tolerance to orthostatic stress. In this study, we analyzed calf vasoconstriction as a function of venous pooling during simulated orthostatic stress. We hypothesized that high orthostatic tolerance (OT) would be associated with greater vasoconstrictor responses to venous pooling compared with low OT. Nineteen participants underwent continuous stepped lower body negative pressure at -10, -20, -30, -40, -50, and -60 mmHg each for 5 min or until exhibiting signs of presyncope. Ten participants completed the lower body negative pressure procedure without presyncope and were categorized with high OT; the remaining nine were categorized as having low OT. Near-infrared spectroscopy measurements of vasoconstriction (Hachiya T, Blaber A, Saito M. Acta Physiologica 193: 117-127, 2008) in calf muscles, along with heart rate (HR) responses for each participant, were evaluated in relation to calf blood volume, estimated by plethysmography. The slopes of this relationship between vasoconstriction and blood volume were not different between the high- and low-tolerance groups. However, the onset of vasoconstriction in the high-tolerance group was delayed. Greater HR increments in the low-tolerance group were also observed as a function of lower limb blood pooling. The delayed vasoconstriction and slower HR increments in the high-tolerance group to similar venous pooling in the low group may suggest a greater vascular reserve and possible delayed reduction in venous return. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
