Abstract
The effect of sodium hydroxybutyrate (40, 100, and 200 mg/kg) on the cirulation in the aorta and the carotid, mesenteric, and femoral arteries (using electromagnetic recording of the blood flow), the tonic activity in the sympathetic nerves, and the EEG was studied in experiments on anesthetized and unanesthetized cats and also on immobilized, unanesthetized dogs. Decreased activity of the sympathetic nerves and synchronization of the EEG under the influence of sodium hydroxybutyrate were found to be associated with a marked increase in the circulation in the regional vessels (of the brain, intestine, and limb) and by a decrease in their resistance, which was particularly marked in the system of the common carotid arteries. An effect of sodium hydroxybutyrate on the central regulation of vascular tone is postulated.
