We tested the hypothesis that humoral factors contribute to the onset of exercise hyperpnea in an electrically induced model of isocapnic exercise in alpha-chloralose-anesthetized dogs. A cannula placed in the inferior vena cava (IVC) permitted hindlimb venous blood to flow either directly to the lungs or through a variable-length extracorporeal circuit. Mean transit times (MTT) of blood from exercising hindlimbs were measured from the arrival at the pulmonary artery of green dye injected into the saphenous vein. Onset of hyperpnea was determined by the half time of the ventilatory response (T 1/2), the time required to reach 50% of the steady-state ventilation. In seven dogs, T 1/2 was directly related to MTT (P less than 0.001), suggesting that blood-borne substances released at the onset of exercise contribute to the hyperpneic response. The T 1/2-MTT relation persisted following L2 cord transection (n = 4), suggesting that intraspinal afferents are not required for this response. Chemoreceptor denervation (n = 4) slowed the onset of exercise hyperpnea but did not alter the T 1/2-MTT relation. In this model of electrically induced "exercise" in which neurogenic influences have been minimized, humoral factors alone may stimulate ventilation sufficiently to produce arterial isocapnia.
