Abstract
The effect of parasympathetic denervation of the abdominal viscera upon mesenteric
blood flow was studied in 28 dogs. Total subdiaphragmatic vagotomy in 10 dogs resulted
in an average reduction of 42 percent in blood flow through the common mesenteric
vein. Division of the gastric branches alone resulted in no significant change in
blood flow. Division of the celiac and hepatic branches caused a reduction in flow
of 17 and 18 percent, respectively. There appears to be a relationship between previously
observed atrophy of the small intestinal mucosa and decreased mesenteric blood flow
following parasympathetic denervation in the dog.
