Popis: Plasma perfusion patterns were investigated in brain capillaries during decreased cerebral blood flow induced by hyperventilation. Anesthetized rats were decapitated 3-4 s after being given an intravenous bolus injection of Evans blue dye. the measured steep increase of the arterial dye concentration at this moment ensures that different capillary plasma transit times are reflected in different intracapillary dye concentrations. The observed heterogeneity of capillary plasma transit time was expressed as the coefficient of variation (means +/- SD) of the intracapillary dye concentrations. For comparison, cerebral blood flow was determined at comparable PCO2 values in a second experimental group. At arterial PCO2 values between 40 and 25 mmHg, the cerebral blood flow and the coefficient of variation of the intracapillary dye concentration decreased with decreasing PCO2, whereas at PCO2 values
