Changes of uric acid level in rat brain after focal ischemia
Journal of Neurochemistry
|March 1, 1986
Abstract:
Changes of uric acid level in rat cerebral hemisphere after left middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion were studied by reversed-phase HPLC with electrochemical detection. Uric acid level in the normal group was 2.98 nmol/g tissue. Uric acid concentration of the left hemisphere in the left MCA-occluded group progressively increased after occlusion, and reached a maximum value of 67.26 nmol/g tissue 24 h after ischemia. Uric acid levels in the right hemisphere remained unchanged. Uric acid concentration of the left hemisphere in sham-operated group was 9.29 nmol/g tissue 24 h after the operation.
