Catecholamines in experimental brain ischemia.

K Kogure, P Scheinberg, A Matsumoto

    Archives of Neurology
    |January 1, 1975
    PubMed
    Summary

    This study shows that cerebral ischemia in rats causes immediate increases in cyclic adenosine 3, 5-monophosphate (cAMP) and rapid decreases in norepinephrine (NE). Dopamine levels also changed, reflecting altered brain metabolism during ischemia.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Biochemistry
    • Pathophysiology

    Background:

    • Cerebral ischemia, a disruption of blood flow to the brain, significantly impacts neuronal function and energy metabolism.
    • Understanding the biochemical changes, such as neurotransmitter and second messenger alterations, is crucial for comprehending ischemic injury.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the dynamic changes in norepinephrine (NE), dopamine, and cyclic adenosine 3, 5-monophosphate (cAMP) in rat brain hemispheres following induced local cerebral ischemia.
    • To correlate these neurochemical alterations with the progression of ischemic events.

    Main Methods:

    • Local cerebral ischemia was induced in rats via internal carotid artery injection of carbon microspheres.
    • Neurotransmitter (NE, dopamine) and second messenger (cAMP) levels were measured in embolized and intact hemispheres at various time points up to four hours post-embolization.
    • Sham-operated animals served as controls.

    Main Results:

    • An instantaneous increase in cAMP was observed immediately after embolization.
    • Norepinephrine (NE) levels decreased significantly within two minutes and remained low for four hours.
    • Dopamine levels showed a transient increase by five minutes, returning to baseline after four hours.
    • Similar, though less pronounced, changes were noted in the non-embolized hemisphere.

    Conclusions:

    • The accumulation of cAMP is likely a direct response to ischemic hypoxia, potentially initiating increased glycolysis.
    • The reduction in NE may result from widespread release from presynaptic terminals, possibly contributing to cortical vasoconstriction.
    • Observed dopamine alterations reflect underlying changes in brain energy metabolism during ischemic conditions.
