Research Abstract

1996
Rats underwent focal cerebral ischemia using the filament occlusion technique for 2h, followed by 22h of reperfusion. Rats received saline or 1mol/kg per hour 4-phenyl-1- (4-phenylbutyl) piperidine (PPBP), the potent sigma-receptor ligand, by continuous intravenous infusion starting 1 h after the initiation of ischemia and continuing through 22h of reperfusion. Triphenyltetrazolium-determined infarction volume of ipsilateral striatum (PPBP,19(]SY.+-。[)4 mm<@D13@>D1, mean(]SY.+-。[)SEM) was smaller in rats treated with PPBP than in control (44(]SY.+-。[)4 mm<@D13@>D1) rats. However, because of variability within groups, the effect of PPBP to reduce total ipsilateral cortex infarction volume (PPBP,80(]SY.+-。[)28 mm<@D13@>D1 ; saline, 136(]SY.+-。[)27mm<@D13@>D1) did not reach statistical significance.
1997
Rats underwent focal cerebral ischemia using the filament occlusion technique for 2h, followed by 22h of reperfusion. Rats received (+) or (-)-pentazocine at a dose of 2mg/kg/h by continuous intravenous infusion from 1 h of ischemia to 22h of reperfusion. Triphenyltetrazolium-determined infarction volume of ipsilateral striatum ([+]-pentazocine, 19(]SY.+-。[)4mm<@D13@>D1 ; [-]-pentazocine, 44(]SY.+-。[)5mm<@D13@>D1) and cerebral cortex ([+]-pentazocine, 26(]SY.+-。[)12mm<@D13@>D1 ; [-]-pentazocine, 134(]SY.+-。[)29mm<@D13@>D1) was smaller in rats treated with (+) compared with (-)-pentazocine. Infarction volume in rats treated with (-)-pentazocine was also very similar to the infarction volume in saline-treated control rats from our previous study. These data indicate that sigma<@D21@>D2-receptors may play an important role in the mechanism of injury both in cortex and striatum after 2h of transient focal ischemia in rats.
