Estimated regional blood flow by rubidium 86 distribution during arousal from hibernation

Robert W. Bullard 1 and Gordon E. Funkhouser 1

1 Department of Physiology, Indiana University School of Medicine, Indianapolis, Indiana

The local organ or tissue blood flows during the process of arousal from hibernation have been estimated in the 13-lined ground squirrel by the Sapirstein method, which consists of the measurement of the regional distribution of injected rubidium 86. The studies demonstrated that during arousal there is a confinement of blood flow to the thoracic regions. After the heart rate has attained 100 beats/min, blood flow increases to the anterior portions of the animal. At the arousal level characterized by a heart rate of 200 beats/min, blood flow to anterior and thoracic tissue had attained levels almost equal to control flows. Posterior tissue flows were still much lower than control flows. The centralization of blood flow to thoracic and anterior tissues did not occur in the rat in the hypothermic state.
