Abstract

Effects of idebenone on RNA and DNA contents as well as on synthesis rates of total and poly(A)(+) RNA in the brain were measured in two animal models: (1) Normal young and old, male C57BL/6J mice (6 and 32 months). Idebenone suspended in 5% gum arabic was applied in 50 mg/kg/day dose to old mice for 1 month through a gastric tube. (2) Adult female CFY rats (14-18 months) in which experimental partial cerebral ischemia was induced by bilateral common carotid artery occlusion. Idebenone was administered intraperitoneally in two dose (10mg/kg and 100 mg/kg body weight) 30 min before the interruption of carotid blood flow. DNA content remained invariate during aging in the brain; idebenone treatment did not exert any influence on this parameter. RNA content as well as total and poly(A)(+) RNA synthesis rates, which were measured by incorporation of tritiated uridine into RNA, decreased significantly with age in brain. Idebenone treatment did not cause any essential change of the metabolism of RNA under the given conditions. The RNA and DNA contents of brain were influenced neither by experimental partial cerebral ischemia nor by treatment with idebenone during the ischemia. Partial cerebral ischemia decreased the rate of total and...Continue Reading

Brain Ischemia

Brain ischemia is a condition in which there is insufficient blood flow to the brain to meet metabolic demand. Discover the latest research on brain ischemia here.
