Large arteriolar component of oxygen delivery implies safe margin of oxygen supply to cerebral tissue

چکیده
(a) Maximum intensity projection (MIP) of the 200-µm-thick cortical microvascular stack obtained by TPM. Blood plasma was labeled by FITC. (b) Top-view projection of the segmented microvasculature with the intravascular PO 2 measurements obtained by TPM. Mean vascular segment PO 2 measurements were color-coded and overlaid on the segmented microvascular structure. (c) MIP of the OCT image of the red blood cell velocity projections to the microscope optical axis in the upper 150-µm-tick segment of the microvasculature. The OCT data was previously co-registered with the vascular stack in a. (d) Top-view projection of the segmented microvasculature obtained by TPM, with the co-registered OCT measurements of the blood flow. Measured blood flow values in penetrating arterioles and surfacing venules were color-coded and overlaid on the segmented microvascular structure. Scale bars, 200 µm.

Large arteriolar component of oxygen delivery implies a safe margin of oxygen supply to cerebral tissue.
What is the organization of cerebral microvascular oxygenation and morphology that allows adequate tissue oxygenation at different activity levels? We address this question in the mouse cerebral cortex using microscopic imaging of intravascular O2 partial pressure and blood flow combined with numerical modelling. Here we show that parenchymal arterioles are responsible for 50% of the extracted ...
متن کاملCerebral Oxygen Delivery and Consumption During Evoked Neural Activity
Increases in neural activity evoke increases in the delivery and consumption of oxygen. Beyond observations of cerebral tissue and blood oxygen, the role and properties of cerebral oxygen delivery and consumption during changes in brain function are not well understood. This work overviews the current knowledge of functional oxygen delivery and consumption and introduces recent and preliminary ...
متن کاملMicrovascular and tissue oxygen distribution.
Understanding of oxygen delivery by the microcirculation has been dominated by the unitary component analysis of Krogh and Erlangen focussed on oxygen transport mediated by single capillaries, oxygenation of tissue as a whole being extrapolated from findings on oxygen exchange in these vessels. This analysis is under revision since capillaries are not sole sources of oxygen. It is increasingly ...
متن کاملMicrovascular oxygen tension and flow measurements in rodent cerebral cortex during baseline conditions and functional activation.
Measuring cerebral oxygen delivery and metabolism microscopically is important for interpreting macroscopic functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data and identifying pathological changes associated with stroke, Alzheimer's disease, and brain injury. Here, we present simultaneous, microscopic measurements of cerebral blood flow (CBF) and oxygen partial pressure (pO(2)) in cortical microv...
متن کاملBrain oxygen tension, oxygen supply, and oxygen consumption during arterial hyperoxia in a model of progressive cerebral ischemia.
We investigated the changes in brain oxygen tension (ptiO2) after ventilation with pure O2 in order to (1) clarify the pathophysiology of O2 exchange in the cerebral microcirculation; and (2) investigate the relationship between brain O2 tension, O2 delivery, and consumption in steady-state conditions during stepwise cerebral blood flow (CBF) reductions. A swine model was developed to reduce CB...
