A method is described which permits continuous estimation of adipose tissue blood flow (ATBF) in anesthetized female rats. The method is basesd on continuous monitoring of the elimination of 133Xe after labeling of the animal by intraperitoneal injection. From 2 to 6 h after the beginning of the elimination period close to 100% of the measured activity is shown to be located in adipose tissue, mainly in the parametrial fat. About 18% of the elimination is by way of intertissue diffusion, 82% of the perfusing blood. Changes in ATBF can readily be detected. The coefficient of variation for ATBF determinations is 9-11%. Changes in ATBF can be determined with great accuracy. Average ATBF per g tissue for fed and 48-h fasted rats were 0.105 and 0.122 ml-g-1-min-1, respectively. Total ATBF was lower in fasted than in fed rats (1.05 vs. 1.43 ml-min-1 for parametrial plus retroperitoneal fat). Intravenous administration of glucose (250 mg/h) decreased ATBF significantly in fed but not in fasted rats.
