Abstract
Carotid chemoreceptor (CC) inhibition reduces sympathetic nervous outflow in exercising dogs and humans. We sought to determine if CC suppression increases muscle blood flow in humans during exercise and hypoxia. Healthy subjects (N = 13) were evaluated at rest and during constant-work leg extension exercise while exposed to either normoxia or hypoxia (inspired O(2) tension, F(IO(2)), ≈ 0.12, target arterial O(2) saturation = 85%). Subjects breathed hyperoxic gas (F(IO(2)) ≈ 1.0) and/or received intravenous dopamine to inhibit the CC while femoral arterial blood flow data were obtained continuously with pulsed Doppler ultrasound. Exercise increased heart rate, mean arterial pressure, femoral blood flow and conductance compared to rest. Transient hyperoxia had no significant effect on blood flow at rest, but increased femoral blood flow and conductance transiently during exercise without changing blood pressure. Similarly, dopamine had no effect on steady-state blood flow at rest, but increased femoral blood flow and conductance during exercise. The transient vasodilatory response observed by CC inhibition with hyperoxia during exercise could be blocked with simultaneous CC inhibition with dopamine. Despite evidence of dopamine reducing ventilation during hypoxia, no effect on femoral blood flow, conductance or mean arterial pressure was observed either at rest or during exercise with CC inhibition with dopamine while breathing hypoxia. These findings indicate that the carotid chemoreceptor contributes to skeletal muscle blood flow regulation during normoxic exercise in healthy humans, but that the influence of the CC on blood flow regulation in hypoxia is limited.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
