摘要: Glutamate, a major neurotransmitter in the brain, is also involved pathophysiological processes resulting secondary lesions following ischaemia or trauma. In present study we investigated relationship between glutamate excitotoxicity, free radical induction (indicated by ascorbic acid level) and glucose-lactate metabolism. Monosodium was applied through microdialysis probes (500 mM perfusate) into cortex of rats for 30 minutes (ASC), glucose (GLUC) lactate (LAC) were measured dialysates. Glutamate produced cortical lesion with an average volume 12.7 ± 1.4 mm3. Analysis dialysates revealed significant increase ASC (325 52% baseline) LAC (677 86%) core lesion. periphery nonsignificant short-lasting elevation both parameters second probe (about 1.3 mm frontally to first probe). A concomitant decrease GLUC found probes, reaching 29 8% 60 7% basal levels lesion, respectively. addition, studied delivery characteristics several concentrations (10, 100 1000 during 90-minute application cortex.
