Cerebral blood flow (CBF) in the rat was monitored by a venous outflow
technique with an extracorporeal circulation, which allows for the
continuous recording of flow over periods of several hours. Brief periods
of anoxia increase the rate of flow. The dihydropyridine calcium
antagonists did not affect basal flow rate and depressed the increase in
CBF elicited by anoxia. These findings may have significant implications
for the therapeutic use of dihydropyridine calcium antagonists in brain
ischaemia.
