A modified iso-oxic hyperoxic and hypoxic CO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>-rebreathing procedure was employed to evaluate central and peripheral chemoreflex drives to breathe, respectively, in 15 healthy postmenopausal and 20 premenopausal women of similar age. Arterialized venous blood samples were collected at rest for the estimation of arterial Pco<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> (Pa<jats:sub>CO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub><\/jats:sub>) and H<jats:sup>+<\/jats:sup> concentration ([H<jats:sup>+<\/jats:sup>]), plasma strong ion difference ([SID]) and total weak acid ([A]<jats:sub>tot<\/jats:sub>) concentrations, and serum progesterone ([P<jats:sub>4<\/jats:sub>]) and 17\u03b2-estradiol ([E<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>]) concentrations. In post- compared with premenopausal women, Pa<jats:sub>CO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub><\/jats:sub>, [SID], and the central chemoreflex ventilatory recruitment threshold for Pco<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> (VRTco<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>) were higher, whereas [P<jats:sub>4<\/jats:sub>] and [E<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>] were lower (all P &lt; 0.05), with no significant change in central or peripheral chemoreflex sensitivity, peripheral chemoreflex VRTco<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>, and [A]<jats:sub>tot<\/jats:sub>. The acidifying effect of an increased Pa<jats:sub>CO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub><\/jats:sub> was offset by the alkalizing effect of an increased [SID], such that [H<jats:sup>+<\/jats:sup>] was preserved in post- compared with premenopausal women. Pa<jats:sub>CO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub><\/jats:sub> correlated positively with the central chemoreflex VRTco<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> ( r = 0.67, P &lt; 0.01), which in turn correlated positively with [SID] ( r = 0.53, P &lt; 0.01) within the pooled data. In conclusion, the relative alveolar hypoventilation and attendant arterial hypercapnia in healthy post- compared with premenopausal women could be explained, in part, by the interaction of 1) reduced central, but not peripheral, chemoreflex VRTco<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>, 2) increased [SID], and 3) reduced circulating female sex steroid hormone concentrations. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1152\/ajpregu.90865.2008","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,12,17]],"date-time":"2008-12-17T20:54:56Z","timestamp":1229547296000},"page":"R722-R727","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":43,"title":["Effect of menopause on the chemical control of breathing and its relationship with acid-base status"],"prefix":"10.1152","volume":"296","author":[{"given":"Megan E.","family":"Preston","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dennis","family":"Jensen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ian","family":"Janssen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"John T.","family":"Fisher","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"24","reference":[{"key":"R1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1152\/jappl.1992.73.2.393"},{"key":"R2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.neuroscience.2004.09.058"},{"key":"R3","unstructured":"Behan M, Wenninger JM.
