Abstract
Evidence is presented which implicates increased oxygen free radicals during ischemia reperfusion of gerbil brain. Salicylate, which reacts with hydroxyl free radicals to yield dihydroxybenzoic acid (DHBA), was used as an in vivo trap. Brain ischemia for at least 5 min followed by reperfusion yielded significantly increased brain DHBA. Without reperfusion or with only 2 min of ischemia and then reperfusion, the production of DHBA was not increased. Increased levels of DHBA in brain correlated with ischemia reperfusion-mediated behavioral modification of gerbils, but salicylate administration did not protect against the behavior changes.Entities:
