Percent changes from base line in cerebral blood flow (CBF), cerebral oxygen consumption (CMRO2), and cerebral glucose uptake (CMRglu) after intracarotid norepinephrine (50 ng · kg−1 · min−1), intracarotid hypertonic urea (7–10 ml, 2 osM), and intracarotid norepinephrine after intracarotid hypertonic urea.

Figure 4. Figure 4.

Effect of sympathetic stimulation (dotted line) on CBF during steady‐state changes in arterial pressure (left) and during sudden increase in pressure (right). In steady‐state conditions, sympathetic stimulation attenuates increase in CBF during severe hypertension. Sympathetic stimulation also attenuates the transient increase in CBF occurring after a sudden increase in arterial pressure within the physiological range.

Effects of changes in arterial and CSF Pco2 on pial arteriolar caliber in cats. Arterial hypercapnia produces pronounced vasodilatation that is completely counteracted by equivalent decrease in CSF Pco2, although latter change alone has a relatively modest effect on vessel diameter. Values are means ± SE.
