Abstract: | Summary Thermoregulatory sweating total body (m
sw,b), chest (m
sw,c) and thigh (m
sw,t) sweating], body temperatures oesophageal (T
oes) and mean skin temperature (T
sk)] and heart rate were investigated in five sleep-deprived subjects (kept awake for 27 h) while exercising on a cycle (45 min at approximately 50% maximal oxygen consumption) in moderate heat (T
air andT
wall at 35° C. Them
sw,c andm
sw,t were measured under local thermal clamp (T
sk,1), set at 35.5° C. After sleep deprivation, neither the levels of body temperatures (T
oes,T
sk) nor the levels ofm
sw, b,m
sw, c orm
sw, t differed from control at rest or during exercise steady state. During the transient phase of exercise (whenT
sk andT
sk,1 were unvarying), them
sw, c andm
sw, t changes were positively correlated with those ofT
oes. The slopes of them
sw, c versusT
oes, orm
sw, t versusT
oes relationships remained unchanged between control and sleep-loss experiments. Thus the slopes of the local sweating versusT
oes, relationships (m
sw, c andm
sw, t sweating data pooled which reached 1.05 (SEM 0.14) mg·cm–2·min–1°C–1 and 1.14 (SEM 0.18) mg·cm–2·min–1·°C–1 before and after sleep deprivation) respectively did not differ. However, in our experiment, sleep deprivation significantly increased theT
oes threshold for the onset of bothm
sw, c andm
sw, t (+0.3° C,P<0.001). From our investigations it would seem that the delayed core temperature for sweating onset in sleep-deprived humans, while exercising moderately in the heat, is likely to have been due to alterations occurring at the central level. |
