Prof. Dr. med. Gunther Hildebrandt  • Chronobiological Aspects of Music Physiology



As an example for a short wave reactive periodic illustration 23 shows the plot of the blood circulation in calf muscle of two subjects whose metabolic balance in the mus­cu­la­ture was disturbed by infusion of a vascular active hormone (adrenalin). While in a condition of rest the muscular blood circulation varies spontaneously in a 1-min.-rhythm, a 2-minute reactive periodic is triggered by the disturbance whose swings are initially much greater, but then decrease with continuing compensation, falling back again into the spontaneous 1-min.-rhythm.





Illustration 23

Two ex­am­ples of the re­ac­tive-pe­ri­odic proc­ess of the mus­cu­lar blood cir­cu­la­tion in hu­mans dur­ing an in­tra­ve­nous in­fu­sion of adrena­lin. In the left part of the pic­ture, spon­ta­ne­ous varia­tions of mus­cu­lar blood cir­cu­la­tion in a 1-min-rhythm from the same in­ves­ti­ga­tions are shown.
