Abstract: | The exact positions of microelectrodes used to measure thePO2 in the cerebral cortex of the rat were determined by staining the tissue with Alcian Blue. The measurement sites were subsequently located under a light microscope and correlated with the capillary and cellular arrangement of the cortex. The microelectrodes used for thePO2 measurements were made of gold glass fibers; the Alcian Blue was injected hydrostatically through a micropipette attached to thePO2 microelectrode. The sites where dye had been deposited were seen under a light microscope as green blue spots about 100 m in diameter. The capillaries were visualized by silver nitrate perfusion. Differences between the localPO2 values in the neo- and the archeocortex were found. In the neocortex the meanPO2 was 31 mm Hg, capillary volume 1.6%, capillary surface area 980/mm2, capillary length 13.5/mm; whereas in the archeocortex these values where 21 mm Hg, 0.9%, 820/mm2 and 9.4/mm respectively. These data indicate a relationship between the microcirculatory transport system and the local oxygen tension and provide further evidence that the meanPO2 level tends to decrease when moving from the surface into the archeocortex.Supported by the Deutsche ForschungsgemeinschaftReported in part at the 3rd Symposium of ISOTT, Cambridge, GB, 1977; and at the 27th International Congress of Physiological Sciences, Paris, France, 1977 |
