Eicosapentaenoic acid: effect on brain prostaglandins, cerebral blood flow and edema in ischemic gerbils.
Eicosapentaenoic acid prevents platelet aggregation and inhibits arachidonate conversion into thromboxane A2 and prostaglandins. Consequently eicosapentaenoic acid might protect the brain from the ischemia that follows cerebral arterial occlusion. We studied the effect of eicosapentaenoic acid on cerebral ischemia in anesthetized gerbils. Ischemia was produced by bilateral carotid occlusion for...

متن کاملNimodipine pretreatment improves cerebral blood flow and reduces brain edema in conscious rats subjected to focal cerebral ischemia.
The effect of nimodipine pretreatment on CBF and brain edema was studied in conscious rats subjected to 2.5 h of focal cortical ischemia. An infusion of nimodipine (2 micrograms/kg/min i.v.) or its vehicle, polyethylene glycol 400, was begun 2 h before the ischemic interval and was continued throughout the survival period. Under brief halothane anesthesia, the animals' right middle cerebral and...
متن کاملCalcium channel blockers correct acidosis in ischemic rat brain without altering cerebral blood flow.
We compared the effects of intravenous infusions of 40 micrograms/kg/min verapamil (n = 5), 0.5 microgram/kg/min nimodipine (n = 5), and 5 ng/kg/min prostacyclin (n = 6) and no treatment (n = 6) on local cerebral pH and local cerebral blood flow in middle cerebral artery-occluded rats 90 minutes after the ischemic insult. Local cerebral pH and local cerebral blood flow were determined simultane...
متن کاملInhibition of nitric oxide synthase activity improves focal cerebral damage induced by cerebral ischemia/reperfusion in normotensive rats
Introduction: Nitric oxide seems to play a dual role in ischemia/reperfusion injury. Few studies have investigated whether it exacerbates or improves brain edema. In the present study, we inhibited the activity of nitric oxide synthase by L-NAME and evaluated the cerebral infarct volume, tissue swelling and brain edema, alongside the measurement of blood flow of the ischemic region. Methods...
