Significant Change

The effect of the calcium antagonist nimodipine was tested in anaesthetised primates. A rapid intravenous injection of 3 or 10 μg kg−1 produced a transient rise in end-tidal Pco2 and a fall in arterial blood pressure, but 10 min after the injection there was no significant change in CBF. A continuous intravenous infusion of 2 μg kg−1 min−1 caused a modest fall in mean arterial blood pressure and an increase in cerebral blood flow (CBF), which gradually increased to 27% above control after 50 min infusion. There was no significant change in CMRO2. A continuous intracarotid infusion of 0.67 μg kg−1 min−1 caused an increase in CBF of between 46 and 57%. This was further increased to 87% above control after disruption of the blood-brain barrier with hyperosmolar urea. Thirty minutes after the urea, the CBF returned to 43% above control. Twenty minutes after the infusion of nimodipine had been stopped, the CBF had returned to control values. EEG studies in this group showed no obvious increase in electrocortical activity. This evidence suggests that nimodipine has no effect on cerebral metabolism but increases CBF, particularly after disruption of the blood-brain barrier.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of activation of sympathetic pathways during seizures on cerebral blood flow and integrity of the blood-brain barrier. We measured cerebral blood flow with microspheres and disruption of the blood-brain barrier with labeled albumin in cats. One cerebral hemisphere was denervated by cutting the superior cervical sympathetic trunk on one side. During bicuculline-induced seizures, superior cervical sympathetic nerve activity increased about threefold. Blood flow to the innervated hemibrain was significantly lower than flow to denervated hemibrain. However, in relation to the total increase in flow, this effect of nerves was minor. Blood-brain barrier permeability increased about sixfold during seizures, but there was no difference between the innervated and denervated sides of the brain. We conclude that sympathetic nerves attenuate the increase in cerebral blood flow during seizures, despite the increase in metabolism, but this effect is small. Activation of sympathetic nerves does not reduce disruption of the blood-brain barrier during seizures.

The Brain

The literature regarding the blood–brain barrier (BBB) transport of butanol is conflicting as studies report both incomplete and complete extraction of butanol by the brain. In this work the BBB transport of both [14C]butanol and [3H]water was studied using the carotid injection technique in conscious and in ketamine- or pentobarbital-anesthetized rats employing N-isopropyl- p-[125I]iodoamphetamine ([125I]IMP) as the internal reference and as a fluid microsphere. The three isotopes (3H, 125I, 14C) were conveniently counted simultaneously in a liquid scintillation spectrometer. IMP is essentially completely sequestered by the brain for at least 1 min in conscious rats and for 2 min in anesthetized animals. Butanol extraction by rat forebrain is not flow limited but ranges between 77 ± 1 and 87 ± 1% for the three conditions. The incomplete extraction of butanol by the forebrain is due to diffusion restriction of butanol clearance in some regions (frontal cortex, colliculi) but not in others (caudate, hippocampus, olfactory bulb). The permeability-surface area product/cerebral blood flow ratio of butanol and water in rat forebrain remains relatively constant, 1.7 ± 0.2 and 1.0 ± 0.1, respectively, despite a twofold increase in cerebral blood flow in conscious relative to pentobarbital-anesthetized rats. The absence of an inverse relationship between flow and butanol or water extraction is consistent with capillary recruitment being the principal mechanism underlying changes in cerebral blood flow in anesthesia. The diffusion restriction of BBB transport of butanol in some regions, but not in others, necessitates a careful regional analysis of BBB permeability to butanol prior to usage of this compound as a cerebral blood flow marker.
