The Effect of Dopamine on Pulmonary Diffusing Capacity and Capillary Blood Volume Responses to Exercise
DownloadFall 2017
Pulmonary diffusing capacity increases during exercise to meet the increasing oxygen (O2) demand of the body. Expansion of pulmonary capillary blood volume (Vc) and diffusing membrane capacity (Dm) are important contributors to the increased diffusing capacity observed during upright cycle...

The pulmonary vasculature during exercise in health and mild chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
DownloadFall 2017
The purpose of this dissertation was to characterize the response of the pulmonary vasculature to exercise in health (including a pharmacological intervention) and in individuals with mild chronic obstructive lung disease. The first project studied the effect of a dopamine receptor blockade on...
