Measurements of cerebral blood flow (CBF) were performed using the microsphere technique in non-human primates (baboons) to assess the effect of non-radioactive xenon gas inhalation on CBF. Blood flows in small tissue volumes (approximately 1 cm3) were directly measured before and during the inhalation of xenon/oxygen gas mixtures. The results of these studies demonstrated that when inhaled in relatively high concentrations, xenon gas does increase CBF, but the changes are more global than tissue-specific. The problems and limitations of such evaluations are discussed.

D005740 Gases The vapor state of matter; nonelastic fluids in which the molecules are in free movement and their mean positions far apart. Gases tend to expand indefinitely, to diffuse and mix readily with other gases, to have definite relations of volume, temperature, and pressure, and to condense or liquefy at low temperatures or under sufficient pressure. (Grant & Hackh's Chemical Dictionary, 5th ed)
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA. Animal,Metazoa,Animalia
D014978 Xenon A noble gas with the atomic symbol Xe, atomic number 54, and atomic weight 131.30. It is found in the earth's atmosphere and has been used as an anesthetic.
