Regional CBF, velocity and blood volume were assayed by laser flowmetry. The intracisternal injection of 1 nmol vasopressin significantly increased the rCBF and velocity, without affecting blood volume. However, the intravertebral arterial injection of 1 nmol vasopressin significantly decreased the rCBF and velocity. This discrepancy can be explained by a difference in the affected vasculature; large blood vessels in the subarachnoid space vs. whole cerebral vascular system. The intracisternal and intraarterial injection of the nitric oxide inhibitor NG-monomethyl-L-arginine reduced the rCBF from the base line, and significantly suppressed the rCBF elevation induced by vasopressin. The effect of vasopressin may be considered as the summation of the increased flow from the dilated large vessels via the release of nitric oxide from the endothelium, and of the decreased flow from the contracted small vessels., 名古屋大学博士学位論文 学位の種類 : 博士(医学)(課程) 学位授与年月日:平成6年3月25日 津金慎一郎氏の博士論文として提出された}, school = {名古屋大学, NAGOYA University}, title = {Differing effects of vasopressin on regional cerebral blood flow of dogs following intracisternal vs. intra-arterial administration}, year = {1994} }
