Abstract
Carbon dioxide, water and vascular space were measured in the hind limb of the dog, with blood and plasma perfusion, before and after the administration of acetazolamide. Inhibition of carbonic anhydrase by acetazolamide resulted in a decrease in carbon dioxide space from greater than water space to similar to vascular space. This observation is consistent with the presence of carbonic anhydrase in the extravascular compartment. Its presence in this location could act to facilitate carbon dioxide transport.
