Ringer's solution containing salicylic acid (5 nmol/microliters/min) was infused directly through an intracranial microdialysis probe to detect the generation of hydroxyl radicals (.OH) reflected by the formation of dihydroxybenzoic acids (DHBA) in the caudate nucleus of anesthetized rats. Brain dialysate was assayed for dopamine, 2,3-, and 2,5-DHBA by a high-pressure liquid chromatography-electrochemical (HPLC-EC) procedure. 1-Methyl-4-phenylpyridinium ions (MPP+, 0 to 150 nmol) increased dose-dependently the release of dopamine and the formation of DHBA. A positive linear correlation between the release of dopamine and the formation of 2,3- or 2,5-DHBA was observed (R2 = .98). The present results demonstrate the validity of the use of not only 2,3-DHBA but also 2,5-DHBA as an in vivo index of oxidative damage generated by reactive .OH radicals. In conclusion, the present study demonstrates a novel use of intracranial microdialysis of salicylic acid to assess the oxidative damage elicited by .OH in living brain.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D010084 Oxidation-Reduction A chemical reaction in which an electron is transferred from one molecule to another. The electron-donating molecule is the reducing agent or reductant; the electron-accepting molecule is the oxidizing agent or oxidant. Reducing and oxidizing agents function as conjugate reductant-oxidant pairs or redox pairs (Lehninger, Principles of Biochemistry, 1982, p471). Redox,Oxidation Reduction
D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon

D003956 Dialysis A process of selective diffusion through a membrane. It is usually used to separate low-molecular-weight solutes which diffuse through the membrane from the colloidal and high-molecular-weight solutes which do not. (McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 4th ed) Dialyses
D004298 Dopamine One of the catecholamine NEUROTRANSMITTERS in the brain. It is derived from TYROSINE and is the precursor to NOREPINEPHRINE and EPINEPHRINE. Dopamine is a major transmitter in the extrapyramidal system of the brain, and important in regulating movement. A family of receptors (RECEPTORS, DOPAMINE) mediate its action.

D005609 Free Radicals Highly reactive molecules with an unsatisfied electron valence pair. Free radicals are produced in both normal and pathological processes. Free radicals include reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS). They are proven or suspected agents of tissue damage in a wide variety of circumstances including radiation, damage from environment chemicals, and aging. Natural and pharmacological prevention of free radical damage is being actively investigated. Free Radical
D006878 Hydroxides Inorganic compounds that contain the OH- group.
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA. Animal,Metazoa,Animalia
