There is vasoconstriction at the level of the cerebral arterioles in the early phase of experimental sepsis that overwhelmes autoregulatory response. These results may serve as additional pathophysiological information on the cerebral hemodynamic changes occurring during the septic process and may contribute to a better understanding of the pathomechanism of septic encephalopathy.
