Abstract

A dose-response curve for the lipid peroxidation inhibitor U74006F was established in a rat forebrain ischemia model. Transient forebrain ischemia was induced by bilateral carotid occlusion plus controlled hypotension (50 mmHg) for 10 min. U74006F was administered at doses of 0.3, 1, 3, 7, or 10 mg/kg 30 min prior to ischemia. Control animals received vehicle (0.02 M citrate buffer in 0.8% NaCl). Brains were perfusion-fixed on day 7 post-ischemia for histopathological examination. For both the hippocampus and striatum, neuronal injury was not significantly different between groups. Within the neocortex ischemic neuronal injury was significantly less (P < 0.05) in the 7 mg/kg U74006F-treated group compared to the control, 1 mg/kg, or 3 mg/kg U74006F-treated groups.

    Neuronal death in the CA1 subregion has been shown to occur 2–3 days after ischemia [1,9,16]. The 2-vessel occlusion model, first described by Smith et al. [15], is one of the most frequently used global ischemia paradigms in rodents [17–19]. Although researchers often fail to induce bilateral CA1 neuronal death using Smith’s or a modified 2-vessel occlusion model [5,13], improvement in the technical aspects of the ‘‘success rate’’ has not been fully discussed.
