Dramatic Increase in Cerebral Blood Flow following Soman Intoxication If Signs of Symptoms Can Be Seen

Figure 1

Physiological parameters presented as percent of baseline value (100%) in control rats (), rats intoxicated with Soman not showing signs of poisoning (), and rats showing signs of poisoning (). Percent changes in mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR), partial pressure of carbon dioxide in the blood (pCO2), acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity, respiratory rate (RR), and cerebral blood flow (CBF) from baseline values, plotted against time. Values represent mean ± SEM. and , paired comparisons from baseline value.
