Sustained Increase in Adrenergic Activity in Gerbil Striatum Following Transient Ischemia
[摘要] References(29)Cited-By(4)We investigated the changes in striatal monoaminergic functions, focusing on the release and metabolism, in a cerebral ischemic model induced by a 5-min bilateral occlusion of the carotid arteries (BOCA) and reperfusion in anesthetized gerbils. In the microdialysis study, the striatal extracellular level of dopamine (DA) markedly increased (144-fold) immediately after BOCA. Although norepinephrine (NE) and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) could not be detected in the dialysates throughout the baseline period, they increased to detectable levels after BOCA. On the contrary, the tissue contents of NE and 5-HT decreased or tended to decrease up to 4 hr following reperfusion. Striatal DA contents did not show any changes in the early period after ischemia-reperfusion and slightly increased at 4 hr or later. Tissue contents of 3-methoxytyramine (3-MT), a metabolite of DA by catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT), increased 0 and 5 min after reperfusion. Normethanephrine (NMN), which is a metabolite of NE by COMT, also increased not only 5 min after but also up to 4 hr after ischemia-reperfusion, indicating a sustained increase in NE release. These results suggested that the neuronal activity of NE, which is supposed to exert a protective effect on ischemic damage, was enhanced for a longer period than that of DA after transient ischemia.
