The effect of intake on protein metabolism across splanchnic tissues in growing beef steers.
This approximates to the proportion of cardiac output going to splanchnic organs in the resting rat (0-128).
Regulation of splanchnic bloodflowis influenced by many factors.
Sympathetic innervation occurs from the thoracic sympathetic chain of the splanchnic nerves and recurrent sympathetic branches from the cervical plexus.
Several factors put the neonatal splanchnic organs at increased risk during bypass.
It is recognized43"45 that there is autoregulation of flow of blood to the splanchnic organs (liver, pancreas, small bowel, large bowel, and stomach).
The level of somatostatin, which is known to reduce splanchnic blood flow, was high in the systemic venous blood of this patient.
It is possible to reconcile the apparently conflicting data to be found in the literature concerning splanchnic blood flow during bypass.
