The BBB [blood brain barrier] transport of both [14C]butanol and [3H]water was studied using the carotid injection technique in conscious and ketamine or pentobarbital anesthetized rats employing N-isopropyl-p-[125I]iodoamphetamine ([125I]IMP) as the internal reference and as a fluid microsphere. The 3 isotopes (3H, 125I, 14C) were counted simultaneously in a liquid scintillation spectrometer. IMP was essentially completely sequestered by the brain for at least 1 min in conscious rats and for 2 min in anesthetized animals. Butanol extraction by rat forebrain was not flow limited but ranges between 77 .+-. 1 and 87 .+-. 1% for the 3 conditions. The incomplete extracton of butanol by the forebrain was due to diffusion restriction of butanol clearance in some regions (frontal cortex, colliculi) but not in others (caudate, hippocampus, olfactory bulb). The permeability-surface area product/cerebral blood flow ratio of butanol and water in rat forebrain remains relatively constant, 1.7 .+-. 0.2 and 1.0 .+-. 0.1,respectively, despite a 2-fold increase in cerebral blood flow in conscious relative to pentobarbital-anesthetized rats. The absence of an inverse relationship between flow and butanol or water extraction was consistent with capillary recruitment being the principal mechanism underlying changes in cerebral blood flow in anesthesia. The diffusion restriction of BBB transport of butanol in some regions, but not in others, necessitates a careful regional analysis of BBB permeability to butanol prior to usage of this compound as a cerebral blood flow markers.
