Popis: The influence of anesthetic agents on cerebral blood flow (CBF) was tested in normal rats. CBF is quantified with arterial spin-labeled MRI in rats anesthetized with either an opiate (fentanyl), a potent inhalation anesthetic agent (isoflurane), or a barbiturate (pentobarbital) using doses commonly employed in experimental paradigms. CBF values were found to be about 2.5-3 times lower in most regions analyzed during anesthesia with either fentanyl (with N(2)O/O(2)) or pentobarbital vs. isoflurane (with N(2)O/O(2)), in agreement with findings utilizing invasive measurement techniques. CBF was heterogeneous in rats anesthetized with isoflurane (with N(2)O/O(2)), but relatively homogeneous in rats anesthetized with either fentanyl (with N(2)O/O(2)) or pentobarbital, also in agreement with studies using other techniques.
