The role of adenosine in postprandial jejunal hyperemia was investigated by determining the effect of placement of predigested food into the jejunal lumen on blood flow and oxygen consumption before and during intra-arterial infusion of dipyridamole (1.5 microM arterial concn) or adenosine deaminase (9 U/ml arterial concn) in anesthetized dogs. Neither drug significantly altered resting jejunal blood flow and oxygen consumption. Before dipyridamole or deaminase, food placement increased blood flow by 30-36%, 26-42%, and 21-46%, and oxygen consumption by 13-22%, 21-22%, and 26-29%, during 0- to 3-, 4- to 7-, and 8- to 11-min placement periods, respectively. Adenosine deaminase abolished the entire 11-min hyperemia, whereas dipyridamole significantly enhanced the initial 7-min hyperemia (45-49%). Both drugs abolished the initial 7-min food-induced increase in oxygen consumption. Dipyridamole attenuated (14%), whereas deaminase did not alter (28%), the increased oxygen consumption that occurred at 8-11 min. Adenosine deaminase also prevented the food-induced increase in venoarterial adenosine concentration difference. In separate series of experiments, luminal placement of food significantly increased jejunal lymphatic adenosine concentration and release. Also, reactive hyperemia was accompanied by an increase in venous adenosine concentration and release. This study provides further evidence to support the thesis that adenosine plays a role in postprandial and reactive hyperemia in the canine jejunum.

The effects of solute-coupled volume absorption on blood flow, oxygen consumption, and vascular resistance were analyzed in autoperfused segments of cat ileum. Intestinal absorption was stimulated by placing either Tyrode solution, Tyrode + glucose, or Tyrode + taurocholate into the ileal lumen. Net volume absorption rates (Jv,m) were determined using a volume recovery method. Oxygen consumption (VO2) increased during the absorption of all solutions. The absorption of Tyrode solution plus glucose caused the greatest increase in VO2, whereas Tyrode plus taurocholate resulted in the smallest increase. For Tyrode solution and Tyrode plus glucose absorption, the increased VO2 was due predominantly to an increased blood flow, whereas the increased VO2 with taurocholate resulted from an increased oxygen extraction. A linear relationship between the change in VO2 during transport and Jv,m was aquired for Tyrode solution, and Tyrode + glucose. The results indicate that the oxygen requirements of the absorbing intestine are dependent on both the rate of transport and the solutes being transported.

The surgical technique of isolation of the blood supply of the gracilis muscle of the dog has been developed for analysis of the oxygen consumption during reactive hyperemia. The time course of the blood flow, A-V oxygen difference and the oxygen consumption follow the same pattern. Immediately after the release of the arterial occlusion, there is an increase in all three values which decay and go below the control level that existed just prior to the occlusion. The increased oxygen consumption during reactive hyperemia is possible primarily by the increased blood flow, although the A-V oxygen difference is increased also. A theoretical oxygen deficit is overpaid by the oxygen consumption during the period of increased blood flow but essentially repaid if the period of decreased blood flow is included.

We investigated whether endothelium-derived relaxing factor (EDRF) and prostaglandins, which may be released under conditions of increased blood flow, contribute to the active hyperemia in contracting muscle of anesthetized dogs. The venous outflow from the left gastrocnemius muscle was isolated and measured. The tendon was cut and placed in a force transducer. One group served as a control (Con; n = 9); EDRF synthesis was inhibited using N omega-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) in a second group (n = 9), and a third group (n = 7) received L-NAME and indomethacin (L-NAME+Indo) to inhibit prostaglandin synthesis. After resting measurements, the distal end of the cut sciatic nerve was stimulated to produce isometric contractions at 1, 2, 4, and 6 twitches/s for 6–8 min, separated by 25-min recovery periods. Blood flow and O2 uptake increased linearly from resting values of 11.8 +/- 2.4 and 0.3 +/- 0.05 ml.100 g-1.min-1, respectively, to maximal values of 84.2 +/- 5.1 and 11.1 +/- 0.7 ml.100 g-1.min-1 in the Con group; neither these values nor those for tension development were different from values observed at comparable contraction frequencies in the L-NAME and L-NAME+Indo groups. At rest, resistance was greater (P < 0.05) in both the L-NAME and L-NAME+Indo groups compared with Con, the highest value (P < 0.05) occurring in the L-NAME+Indo group. Muscle resistance decreased (P < 0.05) in all groups at all contraction frequencies; the values were not different among the three groups.

If adenosine mediates postprandial intestinal hyperemia, increases in local adenosine release must accompany the hyperemia. We tested this by determining jejunal venous and arterial plasma adenosine concentrations, jejunal blood flow, and oxygen consumption before and during placement of normal saline or predigested food plus bile into the jejunal lumen of anesthetized dogs. Adenosine concentrations were measured by high-pressure liquid chromatography. Luminal placement of food significantly increased blood flow (+46%), oxygen consumption (+40%), venous adenosine concentration (+56 nM), and adenosine release (+1.7 nmol.min-1.100 g tissue-1) during the initial 3 min of placement. Whereas blood flow and oxygen consumption remained elevated for the entire 15-min placement period, venous adenosine concentration and release returned to control levels at 7 and 11 min after placement, respectively. Placement of the same volume of normal saline did not significantly alter any variables measured, indicating that the food-induced changes were because of constituents of food. In conclusion, introduction of predigested food into the jejunal lumen significantly increases adenosine releases into the local venous blood during the initial several minutes of food placement. The increased adenosine production and release may play a role in postprandial jejunal hyperemia.

The mechanism of the diastolic pressure elevation occurring during left stellate ganglion stimulation was investigated. The cardiac output rose considerably, the heart rate remained essentially unchanged, and the total peripheral resistance fell moderately. The diastolic rise appeared to be due to increased blood flow rather than to any active changes in resistance vessels.

alpha-Adrenergic control of the oxygen delivery to the myocardium during exercise was investigated in eight conscious dogs instrumented for chronic measurements of coronary blood flow, left ventricular (LV) pressure, aortic blood pressure, and heart rate and sampling of arterial and coronary sinus blood. After alpha-adrenergic receptor blockade a standard exercise load elicited a significantly greater increase in heart rate, rate of change of LV pressure (LV dP/dt), LV dP/dt/P, and coronary blood flow than was elicited in the unblocked state. In contrast to the response pattern during control exercise, there was no significant change in coronary sinus oxygen tension (PO2), myocardial arteriovenous oxygen difference, and myocardial oxygen delivery-to-oxygen consumption ratio. It is concluded that the normal relationship between myocardial oxygen supply and oxygen demand is modified during exercise after alpha-adrenergic blockade, whereby oxygen delivery is better matched to oxygen consumption. These results indicate that the increase in coronary blood flow and oxygen delivery to the myocardium during normal exercise is limited by alpha-adrenergic vasoconstriction.
