Adaptive Brain Shut-Down Counteracts Neuroinflammation in the Near-Term Ovine Fetus
OBJECTIVE Repetitive umbilical cord occlusions (UCOs) in ovine fetus leading to severe acidemia result in adaptive shut-down of electrocortical activity [electrocorticogram (ECoG)] as well as systemic and brain inflammation. We hypothesized that the fetuses with earlier ECoG shut-down as a neuroprotective mechanism in response to repetitive UCOs will show less brain inflammation and, moreover, ...
متن کاملAdaptive shut-down of EEG activity predicts critical acidemia in the near-term ovine fetus
In fetal sheep, the electrocorticogram (ECOG) recorded directly from the cortex during repetitive heart rate (FHR) decelerations induced by umbilical cord occlusions (UCO) predictably correlates with worsening hypoxic-acidemia. In human fetal monitoring during labor, the equivalent electroencephalogram (EEG) can be recorded noninvasively from the scalp. We tested the hypothesis that combined fe...
متن کاملIntravenous angiotensin induces brain c-fos expression and vasopressin release in the near-term ovine fetus.
The effect of intravenous angiotensin II (ANG II) on fetal brain c-fos expression and arginine vasopressin (AVP) release was studied in the near-term ovine fetus. Fetuses with chronically implanted catheters received an intravenous infusion of ANG II or saline. Fetal plasma AVP concentrations were significantly increased after the peripheral administration of ANG II, with peak levels (3-fold) a...
متن کاملLong-term hypoxia enhances proopiomelanocortin processing in the near-term ovine fetus.
Secondary stressors in long-term hypoxic (LTH) fetal sheep lead to altered function of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. Although ACTH is considered the primary mediator of glucocorticoid production in fetal sheep, proopiomelanocortin (POMC) and 22-kDa pro-ACTH (22-kDa ACTH) have been implicated in the regulation of cortisol production in the ovine fetus. This study was designed to deter...
