Brain metabolic changes in young vs aged rats during hypoxia.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Brain energy state and glycolytic metabolites were measured in young (6 month) and aged (28 month) male rats under normoxic (70% nitrous oxide, 30% oxygen) or hypoxic (PaO2 = 25 mm Hg) test conditions. Hypoxic ischemia was induced in one cerebral hemisphere by ligation of one carotid artery. Under normoxic test conditions brain energy metabolite concentrations were similar between young and aged rats. Brain tissue glucose, glycogen, glucose-6-phosphate and critic acid cycle intermediate concentrations were decreased in aged rats during normoxia while fructose-6-phosphate and pyruvate were increased. Decreases in brain energy state and increases in lactate/pyruvate ratios were significant in both young and aged rats during hypoxia and were greater in aged animals in hypoxic-ischemic tissues. These results indicate that brain energy state is normal in aged rats under normoxic conditions but that hypoxic-ischemia produces a greater degree of brain energy failure compared to younger animals.

Cerebrovascular response to hypoxia in young vs aged rats.
Cerebrovascular responses of young and aged rats were tested to graded levels of hypoxia using a modification of the Levine ischemic-hypoxic rat model in which one carotid artery was ligated. Rats were anesthetized with 70% N2O, 30% O2 and cortical and subcortical cerebral blood flow (CBF) were measured with radioactive microspheres. CBF and cerebral cortical oxygen consumption (CMRO2) were mea...
متن کاملThe role of adenosine in CBF increases during hypoxia in young vs aged rats.
The role of adenosine in the regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) response to hypoxia was evaluated in young (6 month) and aged (26-28 month) F344 rats using theophylline, an adenosine antagonist. Regional CBF was measured with radioactive microspheres under control anesthetized conditions (70% N2O, 30% O2) and at two levels of hypoxia (CaO2 = 8.7-9.0 ml . 100ml-1 and 3.2-3.7 ml . 100ml-1). With...

Background: Brain hypoxia-ischemia is a human neonatal injury that is considered a candidate for stem cell therapy. Methods: The possible therapeutic potential of human umbilical cord blood (HUCB) stem cells was evaluated in 14-day-old rats subjected to the right common carotid occlusion, a model of neonatal brain hypoxia-ischemia. Seven days after hypoxia-ischemia, rats received either saline ...

ABSTRACT Background and Objective: Doxorubicin (DOX) is an effective anticancer drug. It has been shown that a short-term exercise performed prior to DOX-treatment has no effect on cardiotoxicity in young rats. In the present study, old and young rats were evaluated to determine the protective effects of pre-treatment with short-term exercise on D...
