Meanings of cerebral vasodilation in English

Implications: The attenuation of cerebral vasodilation to hypercapnia seen under ketamine anesthesia is reversed by L-arginine or nitroglycerin infusion.

We propose that methemoglobinemia-associated headaches are possibly generated by stretching of the nociceptor nerve endings during cerebral vasodilation and hypoxia-mediated oxidative stress.

Therefore, to assess the safety of varenicline in terms of endothelial function, we evaluated its effect on the acute smoking-induced impairment of endothelium-dependent cerebral vasodilation.

Summary of review: Several mechanisms are presented, including the effects of magnesium sulfate on peripheral and cerebral vasodilation, blood-brain barrier protection, and as an anticonvulsant.

We conclude that N2(O) in itself does not affect the dynamic cerebrovascular response to arterial CO2 changes, although it produces static mild cerebral vasodilation.
