This study was performed to compare microregional 0(2) supply and consumption balance in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR), normotensive Wistar Kyoto rats (WKY), and in phenylephrine-induced acutely hypertensive WKY (WKY + ph) rats. Under isoflurane anesthesia, a middle cerebral artery (MCA) of SHR (n = 7) and WKY (n = 14) rats was occluded. Seven of the WKY rats were infused with phenylephrine (WKY + ph) to keep the mean arterial pressure (MAP) at the same level as that of the SHR. In all animals, 1 h after MCA occlusion, regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) was determined using an autoradiographic technique, and microregional arterial and venous 02 saturations were determined using microspectrophotometry. MAP was 76 +/- 4 (SD), 136 +/- 15, and 132 +/- 12 mm Hg for the WKY, WKY + ph, and SHR groups, respectively. All variables describing regional O2 balance and rCBF were similar between the SHR and the WKY groups in the ischemic cortex as well as in the contralateral cortex. With phenylephrine infusion, rCBF of both the ischemic cortex and the contralateral cortex were increased in the WKY group. The average 02 supply-to-consumption ratio in the ischemic cortex was higher in the WKY + ph than in the WKY or SHR group. In the ischemic cortex, heterogeneity of venous 02 saturation (SvO2), expressed as a coefficient of variation (CV = 100 X SD/mean), was significantly lower in the WKY + ph (18.3 +/- 2.4) group than in the SHR (30.5 +/- 11.8) or in the WKY (31.3 +/- 9.0) group. The number of veins with low 02 saturation (SvO2 < 40%) in the ischemic cortex was significantly lower in the WKY + ph than in the SHR or in the WKY group. Our data suggest that in chronically hypertensive animals, cerebrovascular adaptations enable the microregional 02 balance in focal ischemia to be maintained at a level similar to that of normotensive animals. However, in normotensive animals with focal cerebral ischemia, an acute increase of MAP improves microregional O2 balance.
