The present study was conducted to elucidate the long-term effects of exposure to hypoxia of dopaminergic neurons during the early developmental period. Primary mesencephalic cell cultures prepared from fetal rats and containing 0.5-2% of dopaminergic neurons were exposed to hypoxia between in vitro
The effects of S-Adenosyl-L-methionine (SAMe) on cerebral monoamine turnover at 60 min of reoxygenation after hypoxia (PaO2, 31-35 mmHg) for 15 min were studied in 44 rats anesthetized with nitrous oxide. The accumulations of monoamine metabolites: 3-methoxy 4-hydroxyphenylglycol (MHPG),
Perinatal hypoxia is known as a risk factor for human epilepsies. Previous studies in our laboratory have shown that the rats with postnatal hypoxia show facilitation of the kindling formation and enhanced susceptibility to pentylenetetrazol (PTZ)-induced seizures even after the maturation. In the
The effects of hypoxia on metabolism of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT or serotonin) and 3,4-dihydroxyphenylethylamine (DA or dopamine) were compared with those on open-field activity in male CD-1 mice. Chemical hypoxia was induced with NaNO2. Hypoxia did not alter striatal concentrations of DA, 5HT,
We examined in 5-day-old rats the effects of either anoxia or 8% hypoxia on extracellular monoamines such as dopamine (DA), 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC), homovanillic acid (HVA), norepinephrine (NE), 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), and 5-hydroxyindole-3-acetic acid (5-HIAA) using in vivo
The concentrations of 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylglycol (MHPG), 5-hydroxyindole-3-acetic acid (5-HIAA) and homovanillic acid (HVA) were determined in CSF of patients with hypoxia due to circulatory arrest. Patients were divided into neurologically disabled and recovered according to the Glasgow Coma
Perinatal hypoxia is known as a high risk factor for the development of long-lasting abnormalities in dopaminergic system. The early developmental alterations of dopamine (DA) metabolism induced by hypoxia could contribute to these abnormalities. To understand the hypoxia-induced changes of intra-
1. The mechanism whereby hypoxia lasting 20 min elicits a decrease in the dopamine content of rat carotid bodies was studied. 2. The concentrations of dopamine, noradrenaline, dihydroxyphenylacetic acid and homovanillic acid in carotid body were measured by a mass-fragmentographic procedure. The
The metabolism of dopamine, norepinephrine and serotonin was studied in normoxic or hypobaric hypoxic rats, using HPLC with electrochemical detection. The changes in serotonin and its metabolite 5 hydroxy indolacetic acid (5 HIAA) levels in the hypoxic striatum and hypothalamus suggest an inhibition
We evaluated the effects of magnesium on extracellular dopamine (DA) and its metabolites in the striatum of 5-d-old rats submitted to 16 min of anoxia using microdialysis and HPLC. Rat pups were divided into three groups and received either 1) intrastriatal perfusion (IS) of MgSO4, 2)
The effects of prenatal cocaine exposure on the levels of carotid body dopamine (DA) and its metabolites 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC) and homovanillic acid (HVA) were investigated in 5-day-old rat pups exposed to normoxic and hypoxic conditions. Timed-pregnant Sprague-Dawley rats were
We investigated the changes in dopamine, homovanillic acid, 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid, and norepinephrine content in striatum of rats ventilated with 5% oxygen in nitrogen gas. We also examined the effects of flunarizine, a calcium channel blocker, on these catecholamine levels. During 10-20
The present study describes the relationships of extracellular striatal dopamine, cortical oxygen pressure, and striatal hydroxyl radicals in brain of newborn piglets during hypoxia and posthypoxic reoxygenation. Hypoxia was induced by reducing the fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) from 22%
Various evidence indicate that schizophrenia is a neurodevelopmental disorder. Epidemiological observations point to oxygen deficiencies during delivery as one of the early risk factors for developing schizophrenia. The aim of the present study was to examine the effect of postnatal anoxia in rats.
The time course of changes in both extracellular and tissue levels of dopamine (DA), 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC) and homovanillic acid (HVA) in the striatum of halothane-anesthetized rats was compared under hypoxic conditions. A 100-fold increase in the extracellular DA was observed
