The number of chewing affects postprandial splanchnic blood flow (1131.8)

Determinants of splanchnic blood flow.

The splanchnic region participates in the regulation of circulating blood volume and systemic blood pressure [60]. Major reduction of splanchnic blood volume and flow can be vital in defending the perfusion of the brain and the heart in acute hypovolaemia, but prolonged hypoperfusion of the splanchnic region will inevitably lead to hypoxic tissue injury [55]. The splanchnic region is also an im...

Increasing splanchnic blood flow in the critically III.

STUDY OBJECTIVE To assess the effect of low dose dopexamine and dopamine on splanchnic blood flow as measured by gastric intramucosal pH, hepatic metabolism of lidocaine (lignocaine) to monoethylglycinexy-lidide (MEGX), and plasma disappearance rate of indocyanine green (ICG). DESIGN Single-blind randomization of patients with a gastric intramucosal acidosis to receive dopexamine (ten patient...

Redistribution of canine splanchnic blood flow following normotensive hemorrhage.

Doppler ultrasonographic evaluation of splanchnic blood flow in coeliac disease.

BACKGROUND Current knowledge on splanchnic haemodynamics in coeliac disease is limited and incomplete. AIM To evaluate splanchnic arterial and venous blood flow in coeliac disease. METHODS In 22 coeliac (13 untreated, nine treated) patients and in nine healthy subjects the following variables were assessed: vessel diameter and mean flow velocity in portal vein, splenic vein, superior mesent...

Flavor-Enhanced Modulation of Cerebral Blood Flow during Gum Chewing

BACKGROUND Flavor perception, the integration of taste and odor, is a critical factor in eating behavior. It remains unclear how such sensory signals influence the human brain systems that execute the eating behavior. METHODS WE TESTED CEREBRAL BLOOD FLOW (CBF) IN THE FRONTAL LOBES BILATERALLY WHILE SUBJECTS CHEWED THREE TYPES OF GUM WITH DIFFERENT COMBINATIONS OF TASTE AND ODOR: no taste/no ...
