Abstract

The effect of preischemic hyperglycemia on the acute decline of brain apparent diffusion coefficient of water (ADCw) following cerebral ischemia was studied in a rat model of middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). ADCw was measured by NMR with a newly developed spin-echo line-scan protocol that provides for an ADCw calculation every 15 s at a spatial resolution of 3.4 microl/pixel. A remote controlled occluding device was used to initiate ischemia from outside the magnet, allowing for continuous monitoring of ADCw before, during and after MCAO. Preischemic hyperglycemia (25-30 mM) was achieved via i.v. infusion of 50% glucose. The decline in ADCw following ischemia was analyzed to obtain three-time constants: the time from onset of ischemia to initial significant ADCw decline below baseline level (i.e., 20% of maximal decline, T0.20), the time to decline by 50% (T0.50), and the time to decline by 95% (T0.95). Mean (+/-S.D.) values for T0.20, T0.50, T0.95 were: 39.6+/-7.2, 54. 0+/-7.8, 105.0+/-15.0 s for the normoglycemic group (n=7), and 49. 2+/-33.0, 116.4+/-2.4, 351.0+/-189.0 s for the hyperglycemic group (n=6), respectively. Hyperglycemia significantly prolongs T0.50 and T0.95 but does not affect T0.20. The temporal profil...Continue Reading
