Abstrakt: The effects of intravenous and intracarotid cyanide injection on cerebral and muscle metabolism were studied; 37 observations were made on 11 dogs. A significant decrease in the cerebral oxygen consumption was observed, a decrease which varied directly with the concentration of cyanide used. The concentration of cyanide which depressed metabolism of brain failed to exert an effect on the arterial-venous difference of muscle blood. The significance of these findings is discussed.
