Abstract
The effects of acute hypoxia on central hemodynamics, regional blood flow, and regional oxygen supply (blood flow x arterial O2 concentration) were studied in conscious resting rats. Regional blood flow was determined by the radiolabeled microsphere technique. Blood pressure, heart rate; and aortic blood flow increased and total peripheral resistance decreased significantly during hypoxia. Blood flow to brain, respiratory muscles, and liver increased both in absolute value and as a fraction of the aortic blood flow. Fractional blood flow to the gastrointestinal tract, spleen, pancreas, skin, fat, and hindlimb bones decreased during hypoxia; blood flow decreased in absolute values only in stomach and fat. Oxygen supply to brain, respiratory muscles, and liver increased during hypoxia, whereas it decreased in the remaining organs investigated.Entities:
