Effect of indomethacin on local cerebral blood flow in awake, minimally restrained rats. 1981

N Dahlgren, and M Ingvar, and H J Yokoyama, and B K Siesjö

The effect of indomethacin (10 mg kg-1) on local CBF (1-CBF) was studied with autoradiographic techniques in awake, minimally restrained rats. When compared with uninjected awake control animals, those given indomethacin showed a reduction of 1-CBF by 25-45%. This reduction is somewhat less pronounced than that previously obtained in paralyzed animals maintained on 70% N2O (a reduction by 30-60%). An enhancement of the indomethacin response during nitrous oxide anesthesia was mainly observed in structures which show a maintained or increased CBF during anesthesia.

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
D009609 Nitrous Oxide Nitrogen oxide (N2O). A colorless, odorless gas that is used as an anesthetic and analgesic. High concentrations cause a narcotic effect and may replace oxygen, causing death by asphyxia. It is also used as a food aerosol in the preparation of whipping cream.

D000758 Anesthesia A state characterized by loss of feeling or sensation. This depression of nerve function is usually the result of pharmacologic action and is induced to allow performance of surgery or other painful procedures.
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.
