Vascular disease, hypoxia and consequences

Kalaria, Raj ; Englund, Elisabet LU orcid and Ferrer, Isidro (2024) 1. p.75-243
Abstract

The central nervous system (CNS) relies on an uninterrupted supply of oxygenated blood, glucose and nutrients for efficient function. Transportation of these fuels is vitally dependent on adequate blood flow through patent brain vessels with the capacity to respond readily to metabolic demands. If the oxygen or glucose content or the flow of blood falls below the level needed to maintain nervous tissue viability, this results in a series of acute and long-term changes within the brain parenchyma. The removal of metabolic wastes such as lactate by venous drainage is also vital for cerebral function.
