Greater Effects of Fluoxetine and its Combination with(-)-Pindolol in Elevating Hypothalamic Serotonin in Rats During Dark Hours

並列摘要


Isovolemic hemodilution with polymerized bovine hemoglobin(PoBH)was tested as a means ofpreventing infarction in a rabbit model of focal cerebral ischemia.The animals were divided into one control group and one hemodilution group.All animalsunderwent two hours of ischemia,caused by clipping the left internal carotid artery,the anteriorcerebral artery,and the middle cerebral artery,followed by 4 hours of reperfusion.In the control group,the hematocrit was not manipulated(mean±SE:33.8±1.3%),while in the hemodilution group,the Hctwas reduced to 12.5±1.9% by exchange of blood with PoBH,before clipping the cerebral vessels.Staining with 2,3,5- triphenyltetrazolium chloride(TTC)was used to evaluate the infarct size.The infarct volume was 427±52 mm^(3)in the control animal,and 1026±311 mm^(3)(p<0.01 whencompared with the control group)in the animal hemodiluted with PoBH.PoBH hemodilution was found to be associated with vasoconstriction.This pathologicalvasoconstriction probably counteracted any beneficial effects from the lowered viscosity and explainsour negative results.Vasoconstriction has to be overcome before hemodilution can have its beneficialeffect in reducing the cerebral ischemia.
