Blood Flow and Metabolism

The peripheral blood flow and metabolism rates versus time in a tissue could be non-invasively determined through skin surface temperature, which follows the circadian rhythm of sunrise and sunset under resting conditions (Upreti and Jeje, 2004). 

The heat transfer model for the skin layer is given by k

Heart failure (HF) is defined as the inadequate ability of the heart to pump enough blood to meet the blood flow and metabolic demands of the body.1 High-output HF is characterized by an inordinate increase in the body s metabolic demands, which outpaces an increase in cardiac output (CO) of a generally normally functioning heart. More commonly, HF is a result of low CO secondary to impaired cardiac function. The term heart failure will refer to low-output HF for purposes of this chapter.

CNS stimulants can be classified as Psychomotor stimulants compounds that display a stimulatory effect primarily on brain functions and which activate mental and physical activity of the organism. They are made up of methylxanthines (caffeine, theophylline, pentoxifyllin), amphetamines (dextroamphetamine, methamphetamine), and also methylphenidate and pemoline. Respiratory stimulants or analeptics compounds, which cause certain activations of mental and physical activity of the organism, and primarily excite the vasomotor and respiratory centers of the medulla (doxapram, almitrine).Drwgi that suppress appetite or anorectics drags that activate mental and physical activity of the organism, but primarily accentuate the excitatory center of satiation in the hypothalamus (phentermine, diethylpropion).In order to increase mental capability, nootropics — drugs that increase the functional state of the brain — are sometimes used, the effect of which is associated with blood flow and metabolism of the brain. 

With single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), an average difference from normal to abnormal regions of 30-50% is necessary before the abnormality is visually identifiable [17], as opposed to PET where differences of only 5-10% can be visually detected. Moreover, PET has the unique ability to non-invasively quantify relative or absolute coronary blood flow and metabolism...

Once information is gathered concerning the physical and physiological differences between species, one then has a basis to select the correct species for study. In order to comprehend how a toxicant or drug can permeate the skin, the vehicle and its components, disease state, hair follicle density, age, thickness, body site, blood flow, and metabolism must be considered because they can modulate chemical absorption and affect the skin barrier. Toxicants, inert components of chemical mixtures, and vehicles as well as products generated by the skin such as sweat, sebum, dead...

The functional losses in the brain lead to a degeneration or destruction of the brain cells (cf. Journal of Cerebral Blood Flow and Metabolism 1981, 1, 155 Chem. Eng.
