Experimental Subarachnoid Hemorrhage in Spontaneously Hypertensive Rats
نویسنده
چکیده
The influence of chronic arterial hypertension upon the permeability to albumin of the cerebral capillaries, i.e. the blood-brain barrier, was studied in normotensive Wistar and spontaneously hypertensive Wistar rats with experimental subarachnoid hemorrhage. The blood-brain barrier permeability to albumin was assessed quantitatively by spectrophotometric determination of Evans blue extravasation. Subarachnoid hemorrhage was produced by injecting autologous blood into the cortical subarachnoid space. A significant increase of Evans blue albumin extravasation was found in the spontaneously hypertensive rats with subarachnoid hemorrhage as compared with normotensive animals suffering from subarachnoid hemorrhage. Subarachnoid hemorrhage in this model alone caused a significant Evans blue extravasation, whereas sham-operation did not. These findings emphasize the necessity for effective attempts to reduce the leakage of the capillary system in the early stage of subarachnoid hemorrhage. Stroke Vol 17, No 3, 1986

Loss of CO2-induced distensibility in cerebral arteries with chronic hypertension or vasospasm after subarachnoid hemorrhage.
We developed a rat cerebral angiography system using monochromatic synchrotron radiation X-rays at SPring-8, a third generation synchrotron radiation facility. Using new technique, we assessed the distensibility of major trunk arteries after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) in normotensive and hypertensive rats. Twenty-five adult Wistar Kyoto rats (WKY) and fourteen stroke-prone spontaneously hype...
متن کاملCORRELATION BE TWEEN ENDOTHELIAL INJURY AND CEREBRAL VASOSPASM FOLLOWING A DOUBLE SUBARACHNOID HEMORRHAGE IN THE RAT
While a wide array of pathological changes occur in cerebral arteries following subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), the most consistent is endothelial damage. Since the endothelium normally modulates reflexes that influence vascular tone, any damage to it may represent a significant contributor to cerebral vasospasm following SAH. This experimental study investigates the correlation between end...
متن کاملVascular permeability precedes spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage in stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Stroke-prone spontaneous hypertensive rats (SHRsp) fed a high-salt diet develop malignant hypertension, blood-brain barrier breakdown, and spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). The precise spatial and temporal relationship between these events has not been well-delineated. METHODS Ten SHRsp male rats, fed a high-salt diet, were imaged weekly using MRI, starting at...

Objective(s): To investigate the effect of Ginkgo biloba extract EGb761 in early brain injury (EBI) after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and its mechanism. Materials and Methods: The SAH rat model was constructed and pre-treated with EGb761.The neurological function, severity of SAH, water content of brain tissue, damage degree of the blo...
متن کاملPotassium reduces cerebral hemorrhage and death rate in hypertensive rats, even when blood pressure is not lowered.
In a study of the effects of K+ in stroke prone spontaneously hypertensive rats, adding K+ to normal chow was found to reduce the mortality from 83% to 2%, a 98% reduction. An 86% reduction in mortality occurred even when blood pressure was virtually equal in the two stroke prone spontaneously hypertensive groups being compared. Dietary K+ supplements also reduced mortality in hypertensive Dahl...
