The effects of stimulation of the cervical sympathetic chain on blood flow through the retina, the different parts of the uvea, different parts of the brain and some other tissues were studied in cats. 5 Hz reduced the oxygen tension in the vitreous body close to the retina in 5 expts. of 6. 15 μm labelled microspheres were used for quantitative determinations of blood flow. Unilateral stimulation at 10 Hz was performed for 1 min in 9 normocapnic and in 4 hypercapnic cats and for 15–30 min in 5 normocapnic cats. The results suggest that blood ffow through the innermost layers of the retina is influenced by sympathetic stimulation. The vascular resistance within the uvea was much increased in all three groups with no indications for “autoregulatory escape”. The effect was most pronounced in the ciliary processes and least in the ciliary muscle. “Autoregulatory escape” was seen in the parotid gland, the tongue and the masseter muscle, where 1 min stimulation caused mean reductions in blood flow by 82–99% compared to 6–56% after 15–30 min stimulation. Cerebral blood flow showed no statistically significant reductions in either group indicating a quantitatively minor role for the sympathetics in regulation of total cerebral blood flow in cats.
