The effect of electrically induced exercise on the respiratory oscillation of arterial pH was studied in chloralose-anesthetized dogs with spinal cord trasnsection at T[thoracic]8/9 (dermatome level T6/7). Respiratory oscillations of arterial pH (presumed to be due to oscillations of arterial PCO2[CO2 partial pressure]) were sensed with a fast-responding electrode in 1 carotid artery. Breath-by-breath estimates of the maximum rate of change of pH of the downstroke of the pH oscillation (dpH/dt.dwnarw.max) were obtained by differentiating the pH signal. The ventilatory response to exercise could not be explained on the basis of sensitivity to CO2; the .DELTA..ovrhdot.VI[ventilation]/.DELTA.PaCO2 [arterial PCO2] was significantly greater for execise than for CO2 inhalation. The amplitude of the pH oscillations decreased during exercise. The change in the phase relationship (.phi.) between respiratory and pH cycles, although significant from the 2nd breath onwards, was not thought to be responsible for the increased .ovrhdot.VI; the direction of the change was opposite that previously found to increase .ovrhdot.VI. Inspiratory duration (ti), expiratory duration (te), .ovrhdot.VI and the dpH/dt.dwnarw.max changed significantly by the 3rd breath of exercise. A significantly linear relationship was obtained between te and dpH/dt.dwnarw.max during the on-transient (first 10 breaths) of exercise. This relationship was maintained throughout exercise. .ovrhdot.VI and dph/dt.dwnarw.max were also linearly related during the on-transient, although the same relationship did not hold true throughout exercise. The dpH/dt.dwnarw.max was related to CO2 production (.ovrhdot.VCO2), lending support to the prediction that the slope of the downstroke of the pH oscillation is a function of .ovrhdot.VCO2. The dpH/dt.dwnarw.max(dpCO2/dt.dwnarw.max) is a potential humoral signal in exercise and could account totally for the shortening of te. Since there was a late rise in .ovrhdot.VI (due to an increase in tidal volume, VT) in the absence of a change in dpH/.dwnarw.max, it was considered unlikely that the dpH/dt.dwnarw.max was the only humoral signal present during exercise.
