Abstract
We measured levels of thromboxane B2 and 6-keto-PGF1 alpha in rabbit spinal cord and cat CSF after impact injury to spinal cord. Rabbit tissue thromboxane B2 levels increased more than 6-keto-PGF1 alpha. In cat, CSF thromboxane B2 was higher the first hour postinjury; CSF 6-keto-PGF1 alpha also increased, but less so. These results imply activation of arachidonic acid metabolism. The relatively greater increase of thromboxane B2 suggests that thromboxane-prostacyclin imbalance may contribute to post-traumatic ischemia.Entities:
