Abstract:The hemedynamics of lefi intraand extracranial artenes was determined by a pulsatile Dopplerflometer and a transe.ranial lyippler system simultaneously in anesthetized dogs. Low doses of puerarin (50mg/kg,iv) did not aher the cerebral porfusion prew.sure .but reduced the flow velocites of both amddle cerebral artery and antenor cerebral artery. The globle cerebral blood flow was enhanced due to dilatation of the intracranial arteries.
