摘要: Brain injury induced by fluid percussion in rats caused a marked elevation extracellular glutamate and aspartate adjacent to the trauma site. This increase excitatory amino acids was related severity of associated with reduction cellular bioenergetic state intracellular free magnesium. Treatment noncompetitive N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) antagonist dextrophan or competitive 3-(2-carboxypiperazin-4-yl)propyl-1-phosphonic acid limited resultant neurological dysfunction; dextrorphan treatment also improved after increased Thus, contribute delayed tissue damage brain trauma; NMDA antagonists may be benefit treating acute head injury.
