[Effect of dimephosphon on the blood circulation and oxygen tension in the brain of normal waking rabbits and in motion sickness].

By using methods of hydrogen clearance and polarography it was shown that rocking of conscious rabbits is followed by an increase of total cerebral blood flow, local blood flow and oxygen tension (pO2) in the frontal, occipital and temporal brain cortex during hypotension and a decrease of the heart rate. Dimephosphon causes a decrease of the cerebral blood flow both during the stationary position of animals and rocking, exerting a weak influence on pO2 in the cerebral cortex, arterial blood pressure and the heart work.
