Abstract
Oxygen free radicals have been involved in the pathophysiology of cerebral ischemia, especially after spontaneous or thrombolytic reperfusion. In this study with rats, we have combined a severe focal ischemic insult (2 h) and a prolonged reperfusion time (7 days) to assess the possible sustained neuroprotective effect of ebselen (10 or 100 mg/kg), a small, lipophilic organoselenium compound which mimics glutathione peroxidase. Parietal cortical perfusion was measured by laser-Doppler flowmetry, and focal cerebral ischemia was carried out by the intraluminal thread method. We have measured plasma selenium levels, brain reduced glutathione levels, as a marker of oxidative stress, and infarct volume associated with cerebral ischemia. Focal ischemia did not alter reduced glutathione levels, while 60 min reperfusion following ischemia induced a significant (P < 0.05) decrease in reduced glutathione levels of the ipsilateral hemisphere. Pretreatment with ebselen, which induced significant (P < 0.05) increase in plasma selenium levels, did not significantly alter the decrease in reduced glutathione levels. The ischemic insult induced 30% mortality on average, with deaths always occurring within 12-48 h. Surviving rats suffered up to 2...Continue Reading
