Abstract
The exact mechanism as how cerebral vessels are dilated and CBF increases during arterial hypoxia and epileptic Scizures is still poorly understood (Kuschinsky and Wahl, 1978; Winn et al., 1981a; Dora, 1984a). Because recently it was suggested that adenosine may fulfill a critical role in the regulation of CBF (Winn et al,, 1981a), and Jöbsis (1977) postulated cytochrome oxidase as being responsible for the dilatation of cerebral vessels during hypoxia, the present study was devoted to get further data on these issues.
