Abstract
There are many reports on the peripheral vasodilator properties of verapamil and gallopamil. A few studies have also been carried out on cerebral vessels; these are mainly studies in vitro on basilar artery strips (for review of literature see Flaim 1982). In 1973 Vlahov and Enzenross reported that the constriction of feline pia vessels induced in vivo by reducing the pH was inhibited by local administration of gallopamil (D 600) in concentrations upwards of 1 mg/1. In contrast, the effects of verapamil and gallopamil on metabolic reactions in the brain have not been investigated hitherto. This study was made to compare the effect of gallopamil and verapamil on cerebrocortical blood flow and energy metabolism with that of adenosine.
