Hyperbaric and normobaric reoxygenation of hypoxic rat brain slices--impact on purine nucleotides and cell viability

Abstract

Hyperbaric oxygen treatment has been suggested as able to reduce hypoxia induced neuronal damage. The aim of the study was to compare the impact of different reoxygenation strategies on early metabolical (purine nucleotide content determined by HPLC) and morphological changes (index of cell injury after celestine blue/acid fuchsin staining) of hypoxically damaged rat neocortical brain slices. For this purpose slices (300 microm and 900 microm) were subjected to either 5 or 30 min of hypoxia by gassing the incubation medium with nitrogen. During the following reoxygenation period treatment groups were administered either 100% oxygen (O) or room air (A) at normobaric (1 atm absolute, NB-O; NB-A) or hyperbaric (2.5 atm absolute, HB-O; HB-A) conditions. After 5 min of hypoxia, both HB-O and NB-O led to a complete nucleotide status restoration (ATP/ADP; GTP/GDP) in 300 microm slices. However, reoxygenation after 30 min of hypoxia was less effective, irrespective of the oxygen pressure. Furthermore, administering hyperbaric room air resulted in no significant posthypoxic nucleotide recovery. In 900 microm slices, both control incubation as well as 30 min of hypoxia resulted in significantly lower trinucleotide and higher dinucleotide...Continue Reading
