Extracellular levels of amino acids in the hippocampal CA1 region of the gerbil were analyzed by a microdialysis-HPLC procedure. Transient forebrain ischemia produced significant increase in aspartate, glutamate, glycine and taurine (760%, 1070%, 190% and 1210%, respectively), and neuronal blockade by perfusion with a lidocaine (4 mM)-containing medium resulted in 67%, 79%, 58% and 59% reduction in the peak values of each amino acid, respectively. On the other hand, an intracerebroventricular administration of lidocaine, 0.8 mumol or more, produced a protective effect against delayed damage of hippocampal CA1 pyramidal cells, which was caused by bilateral carotid artery occlusion for 4 min. The results suggest that lidocaine may protect neurons against ischemic damage, by preventing the ischemia-induced rise of extracellular concentration of excitatory amino acid.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008012 Lidocaine A local anesthetic and cardiac depressant used as an antiarrhythmia agent. Its actions are more intense and its effects more prolonged than those of PROCAINE but its duration of action is shorter than that of BUPIVACAINE or PRILOCAINE.

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.

D006624 Hippocampus A curved elevation of GRAY MATTER extending the entire length of the floor of the TEMPORAL HORN of the LATERAL VENTRICLE (see also TEMPORAL LOBE). The hippocampus proper, subiculum, and DENTATE GYRUS constitute the hippocampal formation. Sometimes authors include the ENTORHINAL CORTEX in the hippocampal formation.

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.

D017551 Microdialysis A technique for measuring extracellular concentrations of substances in tissues, usually in vivo, by means of a small probe equipped with a semipermeable membrane. Substances may also be introduced into the extracellular space through the membrane.
D017966 Pyramidal Cells Projection neurons in the CEREBRAL CORTEX and the HIPPOCAMPUS. Pyramidal cells have a pyramid-shaped soma with the apex and an apical dendrite pointed toward the pial surface and other dendrites and an axon emerging from the base. The axons may have local collaterals but also project outside their cortical region.

D018846 Excitatory Amino Acids Endogenous amino acids released by neurons as excitatory neurotransmitters. Glutamic acid is the most common excitatory neurotransmitter in the brain. Aspartic acid has been regarded as an excitatory transmitter for many years, but the extent of its role as a transmitter is unclear.
