摘要
To study the regulation of the ductus venosus (DV) inlet in vivo, we measured the effect of vasoactive substances and hypoxemia on its diameter in nine fetal sheep in utero at 0.9 gestation under ketamine-diazepam anesthesia. Catheters were inserted into an umbilical vein and a fetal common carotid artery, and a flowmeter was placed around the umbilical veins. Ultrasound measurements of the diameter of the fetal DV during normoxic baseline conditions [fetal arterial PO2 (PaO2) 24 mmHg] were compared with measurements during infusion of sodium nitroprusside (SNP; 1.3, 2.6, and 6.5 mu g.kg(-1).min(-1))or the alpha(1)-adrenergic agonist phenylephrine (6.5 mu g.kg(-1).min(-1)) into the umbilical vein or during hypoxemia (fetal Pa-O2 reduced to 10 mmHg). SNP increased the DV inlet diameter by 23%, but phenylephrine had no effect. Hypoxemia caused a 61% increase of the inlet diameter and a distension of the entire vessel. We conclude that the DV inlet is tonically constricted, because nitric oxide dilates it but an alpha(1)-adrenergic agonist does not potentiate constriction. Hypoxemia causes a marked distension of the entire DV.
