Abstract
CNS oxygen (O2) toxicity is complex, and the etiology of its most severe manifestation, O2 convulsions, is yet to be determined. A role for depletion of the brain GABA pool has been proposed, although recent data have implicated production of reactive O2 species, e.g. H2O2, in this process. We hypothesized that the production of H2O2 and NH3 produced by monoamine oxidase (MAO) would lead to depletion of GABA and production of nitric oxide (NO.) respectively, and thereby enhance CNS O2 toxicity. In this study, rats treated with an MAO inhibitor (pargyline) or a nitric oxide synthase inhibitor (LNNA) were protected against O2-induced convulsions. Selected cerebral amino acids including arginine were measured in control and O2 treated rats (6 ATA, 20 min) with or without drug pretreatment. After O2 exposure, the cerebral pools of glutamate, aspartate, and GABA decreased significantly while glutamine content increased relative to control (P < 0.05). After treatment with either enzyme inhibitor, glutamine, glutamate and aspartate concentrations were maintained near control levels. Remarkably, GABA depletion by O2 was not prevented despite protection from seizures by both pargyline and LNNA. The NO. precursor, arginine, was increased...Continue Reading
