[Effect of unilateral occlusion of the carotid artery on cerebral blood flow of rats under hypoxia]
Abstract
The occlusion of a carotid artery reduced local cerebral blood flow to 32 +/- 3.4% in ipsilateral hemisphere of rats. Local cerebral blood flow decreased on the average by 18-11.3% in the contralateral hemisphere. The total cerebral blood flow in occlusion increased on the average by 19 +/- 4.9% in all the experiments. In conditions of the barochamber hypoxia, the reduction of local cerebral blood flow grew up to 46 +/- 6% in ipsilateral hemisphere. The contralateral hemisphere blood flow decreased by 55 +/- 3.9% in the hypoxia. The total cerebral blood flow decreased insignificantly in the hypoxia.
