To our knowledge, this is the first study performing both direct measure of brain tissue pO2 during acute forced exercise and underlying microvascular response at capillary and non-capillary levels. We observed that cerebral perfusion and oxygenation are enhanced during running at 5 m/min compared to rest. At faster running speeds (10 and 15 m/min), decreasing trends in arteriolar and capillary flow speed were observed, which could be due to cerebral autoregulation and constriction of arterioles in response to blood pressure increase. However, tissue pO2 was maintained, likely due to an increase in RBC linear density. Higher cerebral oxygenation at exercise levels 5-15 m/min suggests beneficial effects of exercise in situations where oxygen delivery to the brain is compromised, such as in aging, atherosclerosis and Alzheimer Disease.Mechanisms-of-resistance to decitabine and 5-azacytidine, mainstay treatments for myeloid malignancies, require investigation and countermeasures. Both are nucleoside analog pro-drugs processed by pyrimidine metabolism into a deoxynucleotide analog that depletes the key epigenetic regulator DNA methyltranseferase 1 (DNMT1). Here, upon serial analyses of DNMT1 levels in patients' bone marrows on-therapy, we found DNMT1 was not depleted at relapse. Showing why, bone marrows at relapse exhibited shifts in expression of key pyrimidine metabolism enzymes in directions adverse to pro-drug activation. Further investigation revealed the origin of these shifts. Pyrimidine metabolism is a network that senses and regulates deoxynucleotide amounts. Deoxynucleotide amounts were disturbed by single exposures to decitabine or 5-azacytidine, via off-target depletion of thymidylate synthase and ribonucleotide reduc
