Abstract:
:We examined the effect of sustained hypoxemia with progressive acidemia on pituitary-adrenal endocrine function (adrenocorticotropic hormone, cortisol) and on adrenal blood flow in fetal sheep. Hypoxemia was induced by the maternal sheep breathing a gas mixture containing 9% oxygen, with 3% carbon dioxide added. Induced hypoxemia resulted in a progressive fetal metabolic acidosis but with little change in maternal pH. During induced hypoxemia there was little change in maternal plasma adrenocorticotropic hormone or cortisol level. Fetal adrenocorticotropic hormone and cortisol increased to peak values within 2.8 hours of induced hypoxia but by 7.2 hours had begun to fall to values that were not significantly different from those at 1.4 hours. Fetal adrenal blood flow (microsphere technique) also increased significantly and remained elevated throughout the duration (7.2 hours) of hypoxemia. The maximum fetal adrenal blood flow achieved during hypoxemia was significantly correlated with the basal (prehypoxemia) flow to the adrenals. We conclude that the changes in fetal adrenocorticotropic hormone, cortisol, and adrenal blood flow seen in short-term hypoxemia are reproduced during sustained hypoxemia with acidemia. Furthermore, the noted rise in the fetal adrenocorticotropic hormone level may be an important factor contributing to the increase in adrenal blood flow during hypoxemia.
