A re-examination of physostigmine-induced cerebral protection in the hypoxic mouse. A critical assessment of the model.

چکیده
Using the hypoxic (FiO2 = 0.05) mouse model as originally described, the survival time following pretreatment with physostigmine was examined. The maximum increase in survival time was 87% following a physostigmine dose of 0.4 mg/kg. This increase was considerably less than that previously reported for this drug in a hypoxic mouse study wherein the standard method for exposing mice to hypoxia was altered. We speculate that this alteration in methodology resulted in small variations in FiO2 sufficient to account for the differences between these studies.

Introduction: The hypoxic state, in which experimental animals were subjected to an atmosphere of 5% O2 and %95 N2, has been used to screen agents for possible cerebral protection by measuring their ability to prolong survival time in mice exposed to hypoxia. Researchers showed that rimonabant and AM251 allosteric potentiate all but the β1 subunit containing GABAA receptors at nM...

Introduction: Pro-inflammatory chemokines and cytokines such as MCP-1 and IL6 can activate microglial cells that has found in some neuro-inflammatory disorders. Hypoxia activates cerebral endothelial cells to release these pro-inflammatory mediators. We aimed to investigate the anti-hypoxic effects of different doses of some GABAergic agents. Materials and Methods: We randomly divid...
متن کاملPhysostigmine-induced cerebral protection against hypoxia.
Physostigmine, at 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3 mg/kg, was tested for effect on the survival of mice exposed to 5% O2-95% N2. Some treated animals survived for one hour under the hypoxic atmosphere (2 out of 14 at 0.1 mg/kg and 8 out of 28 at 0.2 and 0.3 mg/kg), an event never observed in untreated controls. The physostigmine-treated animals that died before the hour showed a dose-related increase in surviv...
متن کاملRole of the adrenergic system in physostigmine-induced yawning
In this study the effect of adrenergic receptor agonists and antagonists on physostigmine induced yawning was investigated. Intraperitoneal injection of different doses of physostigmine (0.03, 0.05, 0.1 and 0.2 mg/kg) caused yawning in white rats. The greatest response was seen at a dose of 0.2 mg/kg physostigmine. Phenylephrine, an α1 agonist, and clonidine, an α2 agonist, led to a decrease in...
