Abstract

31P and23Na nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy was employed to study the dynamic changes in intracellular high-energy phosphates and sodium during 15 min of forebrain ischemia and recirculation inin vivo rat brain. In the presence of the shift reagent Dysprosium triethylenetetramine-N,N,N′, N″, N‴,N‴-hexaacetic and [Dy(TTHA)], the sodium peak separated into two peaks, unshifted and shifted. During 15 min of ischemia, the unshifted sodium peak decreased and the shifted sodium peak increased. With recirculation, the unshifted and the shifted sodium peaks returned to the preischemia level within 10 min, but the shifted one increased during 30–60 min. Intracellular high-energy phosphates and intracellular pH (pHi) decreased during 15 min of ischemia and returned to the preischemia levels within 20 min of recirculation. We conclude that the decrease in unshifted sodium peak during ischemia is due to the decrease in subarachnoid sodium and the cellular influx of interstitial sodium would be minimum. The increase in shifted sodium peak during ischemia is considered to be due to the dilatation of cerebral blood vessels and the increase in interstitial sodium which was transported from subarachnoid space.
