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 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.

Oxygen requirements of a noncontracting myocardial segment subjected to passive systolic stretch (dyskinesis) have not been well described. The purpose of this study was to measure oxygen consumption (MVO2) of a myocardial segment made dyskinetic by intracoronary infusion of lidocaine. In 12 anesthetized open-chest dogs, segmental shortening was measured sonomicrometrically in regions perfused by the left anterior descending (LAD) and circumflex (Cfx) coronary arteries. MVO2 was measured by arterial-venous oxygen content differences and transmural blood flow. Dose-response curves to intracoronary lidocaine showed that complete dyskinesis was achieved by a 0.25-mg/ml dose of lidocaine, whereas the Cfx region maintained a constant level of segmental shortening. MVO2 of the LAD segment was similar to that of the Cfx segment under control conditions. With lidocaine-induced dyskinesis, MVO2 in the arrested segment was reduced by 33% (P less than 0.05), despite the loss of contractile function. When bulging was prevented by ventricular unloading, MVO2 in the arrested segment decreased to 2.65 ml O2.min-1.100 g-1 (i.e., basal oxygen requirements). In conclusion, MVO2 in a pharmacologically arrested myocardial segment undergoing systolic bulging is paradoxically high relative to both basal requirements and MVO2 in the normally contracting segment.

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.

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.

1. Dobutamine has been used to study the relationship between oxygen consumption (VO2) and oxygen delivery (DO2) in critically ill patients, but this has led to concerns that it could consistently increase VO2 in all patients. Although a direct thermogenic effect of the catecholamine has been primarily implicated in this increase in VO2, an increase in blood flow may contribute significantly by increasing the oxygen requirements of the heart and other organs such as the kidney and the liver. If this mechanism is predominant, it should also be observed when blood flow increases during the infusion of non-adrenergic agents. To separate the two mechanisms, we compared the effects of dobutamine with those of sodium nitroprusside on VO2/DO2 relationships in healthy volunteers. 2. Eight healthy volunteers received infusions of dobutamine at doses of 2, 4 and 6 μg min−1 kg−1 and nitroprusside at doses of 0.5, 1 and 2 μg min−1 kg−1 in an alternate order. 3. VO2 was determined by indirect calorimetry and cardiac output by electrical bioimpedance. Data were analysed by analysis of variance for repeated measurements and individual VO2/DO2 slopes were determined by linear regression. 4. VO2 increased more with dobutamine than with nitroprusside (from 138 ± 14 to 149 ± 20 ml min−1 m−2, P < 0.001, and from 131 ± 14 to 138 ± 17 ml min−1 m−2, P < 0.001, respectively). However, DO2 also increased more with dobutamine than with nitroprusside (from 531 ± 186 to 702 ± 274 ml min−1 m−2, P < 0.001, and from 523 ± 107 to 610 ± 122 ml min−1 m−2, P < 0.001, respectively). Individual VO2/DO2 slopes were similar with dobutamine and nitroprusside (6.5 ± 3.5 compared with 7.1 ± 4.6%, P not significant). 5. At the doses used, DO2 and VO2 increased more with dobutamine than with nitroprusside in healthy volunteers. However, the VO2/DO2 slopes were similar for both substances. Thus, an increase in VO2 is not exclusively observed with catecholamines. Studies of the effects of therapeutic interventions on oxygen-derived variables should report not only changes in VO2 but also VO2/DO2 slopes.

Numerous resting unfed water-breathers have a strategy of gas-exchange regulation that consists of setting the arterial partial pressure of oxygen (Pao2) at 1-3 kPa. This raises a question concerning the extent to which physiological functions are limited in this situation. To obtain insight into this problem, we studied the steady-state adaptation of the blood-oxygen transfer system in the crab Carcinus maenas during the doubling of the oxygen consumption rate, Mo2 (i.e., during the period of specific dynamic action of food (SDA)), that occurs 24 h after feeding. We showed that this increase in the oxygen consumption rate 24 h after a meal is not limited by a blood partial pressure of oxygen (Po2) as low as 0.8-1.5 kPa in either normoxia or hypoxia (Po2 of the inspired water = 4 kPa). In normoxia, adaptation of the oxygen-transport system, if any, consisted of a combined set of adaptations of small amplitude (in absolute value), rather than major changes in blood oxygenation status, blood flow rate, or oxygen affinity (although blood pH decreases). In hypoxia, the SDA was mainly associated with an increase in blood flow rate and blood pH, with no changes in blood lactate, urate, calcium, and haemocyanin concentrations. The results are discussed, in an environmental context, in terms of minimal oxygen requirements in water-breathers.

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.
