Abstract
AbstractRegional cerebral blood flow and cerebral arteriovenous differences in oxygen content were studied in rats provided with a porta‐caval shunt. The arteriovenous oxygen differences decreased, while cerebral blood flow was unchanged. It is concluded that rats with a porta‐caval anastomosis have a reduction in cerebral metabolic rate for oxygen, possibly due to reduced functional demands.
