Effect of indomethacin in experimental cerebral ischemia. 1982

R G Boulu, and M Plotkine, and C Gueniau, and M Sofeir, and N Wiernsperger

The effect of indomethacin treatment (4 mg/kg-1, i.v.) on the cerebrocortical post-ischemic reperfusion ischemia (rabbits) or to focal epicerebral ischemia (cats). When administered prior to global ischemia (but not after), indomethacin enhanced the cortical post-ischemic blood flow. No improvement, however, could be observed in the electrocorticogram in either case. Moreover, indomethacin pretreatment did not change the evolution of the cortical tissular pO2 following focal ischemia. It is suggested that, in spite of post-ischemic amelioration of blood flow, indomethacin is unable to improve tissular oxygenation and electrical activity of the cerebral cortex.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007213 Indomethacin A non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent (NSAID) that inhibits CYCLOOXYGENASE, which is necessary for the formation of PROSTAGLANDINS and other AUTACOIDS. It also inhibits the motility of POLYMORPHONUCLEAR LEUKOCYTES. Amuno,Indocid,Indocin,Indomet 140,Indometacin,Indomethacin Hydrochloride,Metindol,Osmosin
D008297 Male Males
D011817 Rabbits A burrowing plant-eating mammal with hind limbs that are longer than its fore limbs. It belongs to the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, and in contrast to hares, possesses 22 instead of 24 pairs of chromosomes.

D002415 Cats The domestic cat, Felis catus, of the carnivore family FELIDAE, comprising over 30 different breeds. The domestic cat is descended primarily from the wild cat of Africa and extreme southwestern Asia. Though probably present in towns in Palestine as long ago as 7000 years, actual domestication occurred in Egypt about 4000 years ago.

D002545 Brain Ischemia Localized reduction of blood flow to brain tissue due to arterial obstruction or systemic hypoperfusion. This frequently occurs in conjunction with brain hypoxia (HYPOXIA, BRAIN). Prolonged ischemia is associated with BRAIN INFARCTION.

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.
