Abstract
Summary— The inulin dilution technique was used to determine the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) production rate by means of a push‐pull cannula implanted into a lateral ventricle. Artificial CSF containing trace amount of 3H‐inulin was perfused for 2 h in conscious rats. 3H‐inulin in the effluent reached a plateau level depending on the CSF production rate. The control lateroventricular CSF production was 0.98 μl/min. Production was reduced to 0.34 μl/min during a perfusion with acetazolamide (l mM), a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor. 1990 Société Française de Pharmacologie et de Thérapeutique
