Regional cerebral blood flow (CBF) and oxygen metabolism can be measured by positron emission tomography (PET) with 15O-labeled compounds. Hemoglobin (Hb) concentration of blood, a primary determinant of arterial oxygen content (CaO2), influences cerebral circulation. We investigated interindividual variations of CBF, cerebral blood volume (CBV), oxygen extraction fraction (OEF), and cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen (CMRO2) in relation to Hb concentration in healthy human volunteers (n=17) and in patients with unilateral steno-occlusive disease (n=44). For the patients, data obtained only from the contralateral hemisphere (normal side) were analyzed. The CBF and OEF were inversely correlated with Hb concentration, but CMRO2 was independent of Hb concentration. Oxygen delivery defined as a product of CaO2 and CBF (CaO2 CBF) increased with a rise of Hb concentration. The analysis with a simple oxygen model showed that oxygen diffusion parameter (L) was constant over the range of Hb concentration, indicating that a homeostatic mechanism controlling CBF is necessary to maintain CMRO2. The current findings provide important knowledge to understand the control mechanism of cerebral circulation and to interpret the 15O PET data in clinical practice.
