title: [Effects of ATP on cerebral circulation--morphological observation of cerebral circulation and cerebral vasculature].
abstract: Review was made on the effect of adenosine triphosphate, 1.0-3.0 mg/kg intravenously, on the cerebral circulation and the presence of the dilating action on the cerebral blood-vessels in cats. 1. The group of the normal intra-cranial pressure showed, as reported previously, the transient hypotension and its complicated decrease of cerebral blood-circulation at the initial period for 30-100 check, then demonstrating the increase of cerebral blood-flow for 200-1000 check. Its increased volume and duration were dose-dependent. 2. The group of the loaded intracranial pressure of 20-30 mmHg (slightly elevated group) showed the increase of cerebral blood-flow, like the group of the normal intracranial pressure. However, the effect of ATP showed the decrease or disappearance in accordance with the elevation of the loaded pressure. 3. Cerebral vasodilating effect of ATP was promptly observed after the administration, and its degree was 30-50% in photographical observation. 4. Increasing effect on cerebral blood-flow and cerebral vasodilating action of ATP were similar in the pattern to that of vasodilators such as papaverine hydrochloride.
