Description
Abstract:	The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of oral smokeless tobacco (OST) usage on the cardiovascular and metabolic responses in young men during rest, moderate steady state, high intensity, and maximal exercise. Fifteen asymptomatic subjects were recruited from 18 to 33 year old male users of OST. Comparisons of the response of oxygen uptake (VO2), cardiac output (Q[c]) , heart rate (HR), stroke volume (SV), and blood lactate concentration (L[c]) were made between a 2.5gm OST experimental condition and a placebo (P) condition during rest, 60% and 85% VO2 maximal treadmill exercise. Plasma nicotine (N[c]) levels were determined by radioimmunoassay. Mean differences ([plus or minus] SD) between OST and P conditions are summarized on the following page...
