The hypothesis that microvessels in brain parenchyma are continuously perfused by plasma but intermittently perfused by red blood cells (RBCs) was tested in awake Sprague-Dawley rats. The microvascular distribution volumes of radioiodinated serum albumin (RISA) and 51Cr- and 55Fe-labeled RBCs were measured for periods from 15 s to 30 min. Local cerebral blood flow (LCBF) was assessed by the iodoantipyrine technique. The RISA and RBC distribution volumes were constant in the 12 areas studied from 15 s onward. These data fit a model of continuous plasma flow with intermittent RBC flow (and thus support the hypothesis), but they are also consistent with other models, e.g., continuous flow of both plasma and RBCs through all perfused microvessels. In parallel with LCBF, microvascular blood volume varied greater than 10-fold among brain areas. Relative to arterial hematocrit, microvascular hematocrits were low, which indicates that the passage of RBCs through parenchymal microvessels is more rapid than that of RISA. This could be the result of both the Fahraeus effect and intermittent RBC flow.
