Requires vessel size consideration in cerebral oxygen models; leaves open translation to human cerebrovascular disease.
Navari et al. (1979) studied this question. Vessel diameter was evaluated on Oxygen consumption. Oxygen consumption of pial arteries was size-dependent, increasing progressively from 60 to 250 µm in diameter and decreasing in vessels 250-375 µm in diameter.
