Adenosine 3',5'-cycle monophosphate (cyclic AMP) (0.5 mg/kg) was infused into the carotid artery of baboons anesthesized with sodium pentobarbital, causing a biphasic increase in cerebral blood flow (CBF) and reduction in cerebrovascular resistance (CVR) associated in each phase with stimulation of cerebral metabolism evidenced by increased cerebral oxygen consumption (COMRO2) and cerebral glucose consumption (CMRG1). Intracarotid dibutyryl cyclic AMP (0.5 mg/kg) caused a monophasic increase in CBF and reduction of CVR but failed to alter cerebral metabolism. This may be due to its rapid removal from the circulation with ineffective passage across the blood-brain barrier since intracisternal infusion of dibutyryl cyclic AMP caused sustained increase in CBF, CMRO2 and CMRG1 and reduction in CVR. Intracarotid AMP (0.4 mg/kg) and adenosine (0.3 mg/kg) caused an immediate and more marked increase in CBF and decrease in CVR unassociated with cerebral metabolic change making it unlikely that the observed effects of cyclic AMP can be attributed to its breakdown products. Cyclic AMP or its dibutyryl derivative may alter cerebral metabolism secondary to neuronal activation but increase in glucose/oxygen utilization ratio after intracarotid cyclic AMP and intracisternal dibutytyl cyclic AMP also suggests an influence on enzymatic regulation of glucose metabolism.
