Blood viscosity modulates tissue perfusion: sometimes and somewhere.
Each organ possesses specific properties for controlling microvascular perfusion. Such specificity provides an opportunity to design transfusion fluids that target thrombo-embolic or vasospasm-induced ischemia in a particular organ or that optimize overall perfusion from systemic shock. The role of viscosity in the design of these fluids might be underestimated, because viscosity is rarely moni...
متن کاملViscosity modulates blood glucose response to nutrient solutions in dogs.
The relationship between postprandial blood glucose levels and meal viscosity was studied by adding various combinations of hydroxypropylmethylcellulose to glucose solutions and administering them to female mongrel dogs. Glucose was administered as 5% or 20% solutions in water. Hydroxypropyl-methylcellulose was dissolved in the glucose solutions to yield low (5000 cP measured at 37 degrees C an...
متن کاملBlood Viscosity
Small amounts of potassium oxalate probably have no effect on the viscosity of the blood and changes hitherto ascribed to it can be attributed either to variation in carbon dioxide content or to sedimentation of the red blood cells. The viscosity of blood when exposed to the air increases rapidly. This change accompanies a loss of carbon dioxide and can be prevented by stoppering the container ...
متن کاملBlood viscosity in subjects with normoglycemia and prediabetes Running title: Blood viscosity and blood glucose
Objective: Blood Viscosity (BV) is higher in diabetic patients, and might represent a risk factor for the development of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. However, data in subjects with normal glucose or prediabetes are missing. In the present study we evaluated the relationship between BV and blood glucose in subjects with normal glucose or prediabetes. Research Design and Methods: Enrol...
متن کاملWhole blood viscosity and cerebral blood flow.
BLOOD has anomalous rheological properties, particularly in certain disease states. It may therefore be necessary to consider these properties when attempting to assess and perhaps to improve the state of a patient's cerebral circulation. So what evidence is there that cerebral blood flow (CBF) is affected by viscosity? Before attempting to answer this question, one should be aware of what infl...
