Perivascular pH and pial arterial diameter during bicuculline induced seizures in cats

Abstract

The aim of the present study was to correlate locally at the same pial artery the vascular reaction with the perivascular pH during the initial phase of functional hyperemia. As a model of functional hyperemia, bicuculline (3 mg/kg i.v.) induced seizure was taken. Normally, a strong increase of blood pressure occurs together with the start of seizure. Since a discrimination between metabolically induced and pressure dependent vascular reactions is not possible under such conditions, the cats (anesthetized with 40--50 mg/kg chloralose) received in addition 3 mg/kg phentolamine and 10 mg/kg pentobarbital. Under these conditions a significant increase of blood pressure started only 50 s after the onset of seizure. Perivascular pH was recorded using spear type pH microelectrodes in the subarachnoid space surrounding a pial artery. The diameter of the respective artery was measured continuously. After onset of seizure an immediate, increasing perivascular acidosis developed which was accompanied by an increase in pial arterial diameter. The maximal decrease of pH was 0.29 units and occurred 30 s after the start of seizure. These data show that a decrease in perivascular pH can be one factor mediating functional hyperemia in the brain.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
