Relating Cerebral Ischemia and Hypoxia to Insult Intensity   总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1  
The contributions of five variables believed to influence the brain's metabolism of O2 during hypoxia [duration, PaO2, delta CMRO2 (the difference between normal and experimental oxygen uptake), O2 availability (blood O2 content.CBF), and O2 deficit (delta CMRO2.duration)] were assessed by stepwise and multiple linear regression. Levels of brain tissue carbohydrates (lactate, glucose, and glycogen) and energy metabolites [ATP, AMP, and creatine phosphate (CrP)] were significantly influenced by O2 deficit during hypoxia, as was final CMRO2. After 60 min of reoxygenation, levels of tissue lactate, glucose, ATP, and AMP were related statistically to the O2 deficit during hypoxia; however, CMRO2 changes were always associated more significantly with O2 availability during hypoxia. Creatine (Cr) and CrP levels in the brain following reoxygenation were correlated more to delta CMRO2 during hypoxia. Changes in some brain carbohydrate (lactate and glucose), energy metabolite (ATP and AMP) levels, and [H+]i induced by complete ischemia were also influenced by O2 deficit. After 60 min of postischemic reoxygenation, brain carbohydrate (lactate, glucose, and glycogen) and energy metabolite (ATP, AMP, CrP, and Cr) correlated with O2 deficit during ischemia. We conclude that "O2 deficit" is an excellent gauge of insult intensity which is related to observed changes in nearly two-thirds of the brain metabolites we studied during and following hypoxia and ischemia.  相似文献

Contractile failure during various types of exercise has been attributed to intramuscular metabolic changes. We examined the temporal changes in force-generating capacity and metabolic state during intermittent isometric contractions in humans. One-legged quadriceps contractions at 30% maximum voluntary contraction (MVC) were executed for 6 s, with 4 s of rest between. The decrease in force-generating capacity was tested from brief MVC's and short bursts of 50-Hz stimulation applied at 5-min intervals. After 1 min of exercise, the MVC force declined linearly and in parallel to the 50-Hz stimulation force, indicating that the contractile failure was due to intramuscular processes. After 30 min of exercise the MVC force had declined by approximately 40% compared with the value obtained after 1 min. In separate experiments the same contraction protocol was followed, but two-legged contractions were used. Muscle biopsies taken after 5, 15, and 30 min of exercise showed only minor changes in the concentrations of glycogen, lactate, creatine phosphate (CrP), and ATP. However, at exhaustion, defined as loss of ability to sustain the target force, the concentrations of CrP and glycogen were reduced by 73 and 32%, and muscle lactate concentration had increased to 4.8 mmol/kg wet wt. Thus the gradual decline in force-generating capacity was not due to lactacidosis or lack of substrates for ATP resynthesis and must have resulted from excitation/contraction coupling failure, whereas exhaustion was closely related to phosphagen depletion, without significant lactacidosis.  相似文献

Summary Goldfish, acclimated to 20°C and normal = 130 mmHg) and low ( = 19 mmHg) oxygen levels, were exposed to different periods of hypoxia and anoxia. Experiments were carried out at night. ATP, ADP, AMP, IMP, CrP, glycogen and lactate were determined in red muscle, white muscle and liver. Acclimation to hypoxia resulted in a marked increase of the energy charge of liver and red muscle and of the glycogen content of red and white muscle, indicating an increased anaerobic capacity. Short exposures to anoxia, up to 1 h, had little influence on the value of the measured parameters. Long-term exposures (12 h) to anoxia caused a significant decrease of CrP and glycogen levels in all tissues examined. The energy-charge of red and white muscle was hardly affected by a 12 h exposure to anoxia, but in liver tissue the energy charge decreased from 0.60 to 0.32. It is concluded that during anoxia muscle tissues are able to maintain high energy-charges, probably by means of a yet unknown anaerobic energy-producing system.Abbreviations CrP creatine phosphate - EC energy charge - IMP inosine monophosphate - I.U.

Summary Eels, acclimated the 15°C and aerated water (P O 2 130 mm Hg) were exposed to hypoxia (P O 2 lowered from 130 to 8 mm Hg in 4 h) and to complete anoxia until loss of equilibrium. Experiments were carried out at night. The mean survival time (LT50) during anoxic conditions proved to be 5.7 h. ATP, ADP, AMP, IMP, CrP, glycogen, lactate, pyruvate, -ketoglutarate, malate, succinate, alanine, aspartate, glutamate and ammonia levels were determined in skeletal muscle and liver of control, hypoxic and anoxic fish. Some of the mentioned parameters were also measured in heart muscle and blood. Hypoxia causes declines of aspartate (muscle), CrP (muscle) and glycogen (liver, heart), and increases of alanine (blood, liver) and lactate (blood, liver, heart). During anoxia, muscle CrP stores are almost completely exhausted and adenylates are partially broken down to IMP. A decrease of glycogen and an accumulation of lactate were observed in all tissues examined. The energy charge of muscle and heart did not drop below 0.79, but in liver tissue it decreased from 0.65 to 0.17. Liver cytoplasm became significantly reduced during anoxia, but such a change of redox state did not occur in muscle. Eels seem to lack the capacity for anaerobic fermentation of glycogen to ethanol, as observed in goldfish. Lactate glycolysis and creatine phosphate breakdown appear to be the main energy producing pathways during anaerobiosis.Abbreviations ALA alanine - ASP aspartate - CrP creatine phosphate - EC (adenylate) energy charge - GLU glutamate - GLC glucose - GLY glycogen - IMP inosine-5-monophosphate - KG ketoglutarate - LAC lactate - MAL malate - PYR pyruvate - SUC succinate - TAN total pool of adenine nucleotides  相似文献

In order to investigate the changes in energy metabolism during acute anoxia, blood levels of various metabolites were analysed in cyanide-poisoned rats. After intraperitoneal injection of a sublethal dose of potassium cyanide (5 mg/kg), blood samples were obtained by cervical dislocation at intervals of 5 min until 30 min. Lacatate and lactate/pyruvate ratio (L/P) in plasma concomitantly changed with cyanide; increased rapidly at 5 min, remained fairly constant until 20 min and then began to decrease at 25 min. In contrast, the products of ATP degradation, oxypurines and inorganic phosphate (Pi), increased gradually until 25 min and then began to decrease at 30 min. Allantoin in plasma scarcely increased throughout the experiments. The results indicate that the rapid activation of anaerobic ATP formation by glycolysis was followed by the increase in ATP degradation in cyanide-poisoned rats. Thus, increase in plasma oxypurines could be regarded as an indicator for severe anoxic states in tissues with massive ATP degradation.  相似文献

The muscle contents of high-energy phosphates and their derivatives [ATP, ADP, AMP, creatine phosphate (CrP), and creatine], glycogen, some glycolytic intermediates, pyruvate, and lactate were compared in 11 dogs performing prolonged heavy exercise until exhaustion (at ambient temperature 20.0 +/- 1.0 degrees C) without and with trunk cooling using ice packs. Without cooling, dogs were able to run for 57 +/- 8 min, and their rectal (Tre) and muscle (Tm) temperatures increased to 41.8 +/- 0.2 and 43.0 +/- 0.2 degrees C, respectively. Compared with noncooling, duration of exercise with cooling was longer by approximately 45% while Tre and Tm at the time corresponding to the end of exercise without cooling were lower by 1.1 +/- 0.2 and 1.2 +/- 0.2 degrees C, respectively. The muscle contents of high-energy phosphates (ATP + CrP) decreased less, the rate of glycogen depletion was lower, and the increases in the contents of AMP, pyruvate, and lactate as well as in the muscle-to-blood lactate ratio were smaller. The muscle content of lactate was positively correlated with Tm. The data indicate that with higher body temperature equilibrium between high-energy phosphate breakdown and resynthesis was shifted to the lower values of ATP and CrP and glycolysis was accelerated. The results suggest that hyperthermia developing during prolonged muscular work exerts an adverse effect on muscle metabolism that may be relevant to limitation of endurance.  相似文献

Changes in the number of Na+-K+-ATPase alpha-subunits, Na+-K+-ATPase activity and glycogen content of the crucian carp (Carassius carassius) brain were examined to elucidate relative roles of energy demand and supply in adaptation to seasonal anoxia. Fish were collected monthly around the year from the wild for immediate laboratory assays. Equilibrium dissociation constant and Hill coefficient of [3H]ouabain binding to brain homogenates were 12.87+/-2.86 nM and -1.18+/-0.07 in June and 11.93+/-2.81 nM and -1.17+/-0.06 in February (P>0.05), respectively, suggesting little changes in Na+-K+-ATPase alpha-subunit composition of the brain between summer and winter. The number of [3H]ouabain binding sites and Na-K-ATPase activity varied seasonally (P<0.001) but did not show clear connection to seasonal changes in oxygen content of the fish habitat. Six weeks' exposure of fish to anoxia in the laboratory did not affect Na+-K+-ATPase activity (P>0.05) confirming the anoxia resistance of the carp brain Na pump. Although anoxia did not suppress the Na pump, direct Q10 effect on Na+-K+-ATPase at low temperatures resulted in 10 times lower catalytic activity in winter than in summer. Brain glycogen content showed clear seasonal cycling with the peak value of 203.7+/-16.1 microM/g in February and a 15 times lower minimum (12.9+/-1.2) in July. In winter glycogen stores are 15 times larger and ATP requirements of Na+-K+-ATPase at least 10 times less than in summer. Accordingly, brain glycogen stores are sufficient to fuel brain function for about 8 min in summer and 16 h in winter, meaning about 150-fold extension of brain anoxia tolerance by seasonal changes in energy supply-demand ratio.  相似文献

By combining immunohistochemical technique with microassay methods, we analyzed regional energy metabolism in vulnerable and tolerant areas of gerbil brains during evolution of neuronal damage after bilateral common carotid artery occlusion for 10 min with subsequent reperfusion. Four animals were used for each reperfusion period. Based on the information from the immunohistochemical examination, we dissected out vulnerable and tolerant subregions of the hippocampus, cerebral cortex, and thalamus from freeze-dried 20-microm-thick sections, and measured the levels of creatine phosphate (P-Cr), adenine nucleotides, guanine nucleotides, and purine bodies by HPLC, and the levels of glucose, glycogen, and lactate by an enzyme-immobilized column method. There were no significant differences in the levels of metabolites between vulnerable and tolerant subregions of control brains. After reperfusion, both vulnerable and tolerant subregions recovered preischemic metabolic profiles by 2 days. Although the regional differences between vulnerable and tolerant subregions were minimal at each reperfusion period, there were delays in the recovery of P-Cr, ATP, and/or total adenine nucleotides in all vulnerable subregions. A decline of P-Cr, ATP, and GTP levels without change in %ATP, AMP, or purine bodies occurred after reperfusion for 3 days, coinciding with the development of immunohistochemical damage by the immunoreaction for microtubule-associated protein 1A. The results supported the notion that subtle but sustained impairment of energy metabolism caused by mitochondrial dysfunction in the early reperfusion period might trigger delayed neuronal death in vulnerable subregions.  相似文献

Astrocyte activation in working brain: energy supplied by minor substrates   总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7  
Glucose delivered to brain by the cerebral circulation is the major and obligatory fuel for all brain cells, and assays of functional activity in working brain routinely focus on glucose utilization. However, these assays do not take into account the contributions of minor substrates or endogenous fuel consumed by astrocytes during brain activation, and emerging evidence suggests that glycogen, acetate, and, perhaps, glutamate, are metabolized by working astrocytes in vivo to provide physiologically significant amounts of energy in addition to that derived from glucose. Rates of glycogenolysis during sensory stimulation of normal, conscious rats are high enough to support the notion that glycogen can contribute substantially to astrocytic glucose utilization during activation. Oxidative metabolism of glucose provides most of the ATP for cultured astrocytes, and a substantial contribution of respiration to astrocyte energetics is supported by recent in vivo studies. Astrocytes preferentially oxidize acetate taken up into brain from blood, and calculated local rates of acetate utilization in vivo are within the range of calculated rates of glucose oxidation in astrocytes. Glutamate may also serve as an energy source for activated astrocytes in vivo because astrocytes in tissue culture and in adult brain tissue readily oxidize glutamate. Taken together, contributions of minor metabolites derived from endogenous and exogenous sources add substantially to the energy obtained by astrocytes from blood-borne glucose. Because energy-generating reactions from minor substrates are not taken into account by routine assays of functional metabolism, they reflect a "hidden cost" of astrocyte work in vivo.  相似文献

A study was made of brain nucleotides and glycolytic intermediates in paradoxical sleep (PS)-deprived and recovery-sleeping rats. It was observed that PS deprivation of 24 h produced a fall in glucose, glucose 6-phosphate and pyruvate in cerebral frontal lobes. After three hours of recovery sleep all values returned toward their predeprivational levels. In cerebellar hemispheres ATP was increased, while glucose 6-phosphate and pyruvate were decreased. After three hours of recovery sleep, glucose 6-phosphate was increased and pyruvate decreased, indicating restoration of glycogen and creatine phosphate respectively.  相似文献

Anoxia-tolerant animal models are crucial to understand protective mechanisms during low oxygen excursions. As glycogen is the main fermentable fuel supporting energy production during oxygen tension reduction, understanding glycogen metabolism can provide important insights about processes involved in anoxia survival. In this report we studied carbohydrate metabolism regulation in the central nervous system (CNS) of an anoxia-tolerant land snail during experimental anoxia exposure and subsequent reoxygenation. Glucose uptake, glycogen synthesis from glucose, and the key enzymes of glycogen metabolism, glycogen synthase (GS) and glycogen phosphorylase (GP), were analyzed. When exposed to anoxia, the nervous ganglia of the snail achieved a sustained glucose uptake and glycogen synthesis levels, which seems important to maintain neural homeostasis. However, the activities of GS and GP were reduced, indicating a possible metabolic depression in the CNS. During the aerobic recovery period, the enzyme activities returned to basal values. The possible strategies used by Megalobulimus abbreviatus CNS to survive anoxia are discussed.  相似文献

Glycogen Metabolism in Neonatal Rat Brain During Anoxia and Recovery   总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1  
Abstract: Metabolic alterations in glycogen and in glycogen-related metabo lites were studied in neonatal rat brain during controlled anoxia and recovery. One-day postnatal rats were exposed to 100% N, at 37°C for up to 20 min; some rats were allowed to recover in air. Animals were frozen in liquid N, and the brains were prepared for fluorometric analysis of compounds involved in glycogen turnover. During anoxia, glycogen decreased by 29% and 42% at 10 and 20 min, respectively; the free (soluble) and bound (insoluble) components of glycogen decreased in nearly equal proportions. Brain glucose decreased by 72% at 10 min with little further change there after; G-6-P, G-1-P, and UDPG also declined. During recovery from anoxia, glucose and G-6-P increased above control levels for up to 60 min. G-1-P paralleled G-6-P levels, but UDPG remained low. Glycogen returned to control values by 4 h. The findings suggest that although glycogen is mobilized slowly in newborn rat brain, the metabolite contributes at least one-third of the cerebral energy supply during anoxia. Presumably, readily available stores of glycogen combined with low cerebral metabolic requirements underscore the known tolerence of immature animals to hypoxic stress. Glycogen accumulation during recovery appears to be facilitated at the synthetase step, since equilibrium measurements of the phosphoglucomutase and pyrophosphorylase systems indicate that these reactions are not rate-limiting for glycogen synthesis.  相似文献

Intermittent locomotion by terrestrial crustaceans may under specific circumstances increase walking distance and may allow partial re-oxidization of anaerobic products, and replenishment of ATP and arginine phosphate. The Christmas Island red crab G. natalis undertakes a substantial breeding migration each year. The leg muscles of G. natalis subjected to bouts of 2.5 min walking and 2.5 min rest were severely anaerobic. Adenylate energy charge and the large arginine phosphate stores were greatly reduced. Walking for 4 min with pauses of only 1 min exacerbated the anaerobiosis and utilised 50% of the endogenous muscle glycogen. Post-exercise, the adenylate energy charge recovered before the arginine phosphate charge and a large and persistent hyperglycaemia accompanied the restoration of glycogen. Arginine phosphate functioned as a large, longer term, energy reservoir-almost as part of the adenylate pool. Gluconeogenesis is yet to be generally substantiated in decapod crustaceans but G. natalis appears to remove lactate slowly and to reincorporate exogenous glucose into muscle glycogen in the same time frame as lactate removal from the haemolymph. The 4:1 exercise/pause regimen facilitated access to energy stores and increased walking distance, and it allowed L-lactate and H(+) efflux from the muscle during pausing. These responses are similar to those of G. natalis in the field, except during the migration when walking was entirely aerobic. Determinations of adenylate, fuel and arginine phosphate reserves and usage during the migration are required together with more detailed behavioral analysis to resolve the dichotomy in metabolic response.  相似文献

During anoxia, overall protein synthesis is almost undetectable in the brain of the western painted turtle. The aim of this investigation was to address the question of whether there are alterations to specific proteins by comparing the normoxic and anoxic brain proteomes. Reductions in creatine kinase, hexokinase, glyceraldehyde‐3‐phosphate dehydrogenase, and pyruvate kinase reflected the reduced production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) during anoxia while the reduction in transitional endoplasmic reticulum ATPase reflected the conservation of ATP or possibly a decrease in intracellular Ca2+. In terms of neural protection programed cell death 6 interacting protein (PDCD6IP; a protein associated with apoptosis), dihydropyrimidinase‐like protein, t‐complex protein, and guanine nucleotide protein G(o) subunit alpha (Go alpha; proteins associated with neural degradation and impaired cognitive function) also declined. A decline in actin, gelsolin, and PDCD6IP, together with an increase in tubulin, also provided evidence for the induction of a neurological repair response. Although these proteomic alterations show some similarities with the crucian carp (another anoxia‐tolerant species), there are species‐specific responses, which supports the theory of no single strategy for anoxia tolerance. These findings also suggest the anoxic turtle brain could be an etiological model for investigating mammalian hypoxic damage and clinical neurological disorders.  相似文献

In this study, the concentrations of creatine (Cr), creatine phosphate (CrP), N-acetylaspartate (NAA), ATP, ADP and phosphatidylcholine (PC) were measured at different time intervals after mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) in whole brain homogenates of rats. Anaesthetized animals underwent to the closed-head impact acceleration “weight-drop” model (450 g delivered from 1 m height = mild traumatic brain injury) and were killed at 2, 6, 24, 48 and 120 h after the insult (n = 6 for each time point). Sham-operated rats (n = 6) were used as controls. Compounds of interest were synchronously measured by HPLC in organic solvent deproteinized whole brain homogenates. A reversible decrease of all metabolites but PC was observed, with minimal values recorded at 24 h post-injury (minimum of CrP = 48 h after impact). In particular, Cr and NAA showed a decrease of 44.5 and 29.5%, respectively, at this time point. When measuring NAA in relation to other metabolites, as it is commonly carried out in “in vivo” 1H-magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS), an increase in the NAA/Cr ratio and a decrease in the NAA/PC ratio was observed. Besides confirming a transient alteration of NAA homeostasis and ATP imbalance, our results clearly show significant changes in the cerebral concentration of Cr and CrP after mTBI. This suggests a careful use of the NAA/Cr ratio to measure NAA by 1H-MRS in conditions of altered cerebral energy metabolism. Viceversa, the NAA/PC ratio appears to be a better indicator of actual NAA levels during energy metabolism impairment. Furthermore, our data suggest that, under pathological conditions affecting the brain energetic, the Cr–CrP system is not a suitable tool to buffer possible ATP depletion in the brain, thus supporting the growing indications for alternative roles of cerebral Cr.  相似文献

IN VIVO EFFECTS OF AMPHETAMINE ON METABOLITES AND METABOLIC RATE IN BRAIN   总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0  
—The concentrations of several metabolites, including glucose, glycogen, glucose-6-phosphate, lactate, ATP and phosphocreatine have been measured in the brains of mice rapidly frozen at various intervals after the intraperitoneal injection of d -amphetamine sulphate (5 mg/kg). During the initial 30 min following injection, amphetamine induced a fall in cerebral glycogen and phosphocreatine and an elevation of lactate. Changes in glucose and brain/blood glucose ratios were less marked over this period. The metabolite levels returned to control values at 60 min. The cerebral metabolic rate calculated by the ‘closed system’ technique also showed a biphasic change. An initial depression of energy flux over the first 15 min following amphetamine injection was followed by an increase that appeared to be closely associated with the increase in locomotor activity over this period. The results have been discussed in relation to the known catecholamine-releasing action of amphetamine, and differential effects on glial cells and neurons have been proposed.  相似文献

Studies with the isolated perfused working rat heart were carried out to investigate factors that may enable the heart to recover after periods of anoxia. It was found that the presence of glucose in the perfusion fluid during anoxia was essential for complete post-anoxic recovery and the presence of a high concentration of K(+) increased not only the rate of recovery but also the final extent of recovery. In an attempt to clarify the roles played by glucose and K(+) in aiding the survival and recovery of the anoxic myocardium the concentrations of parameters associated with energy liberation and anaerobic glycolysis (ATP, ADP, AMP, P(i), creatine phosphate, glycogen and lactate) were measured in the presence and absence of glucose during the anoxic phase. Determinations of these parameters were carried out during the working aerobic control period, the anoxic period (K(+) arrest) and the recovery period. The results demonstrated that glucose acted as an energy source during anoxia and thus maintained myocardial concentrations of high-energy phosphates, particularly ATP. These studies have also shown a direct relationship between the ability of the heart to recover and the concentration of myocardial ATP at the time of reoxygenation.  相似文献

The cellular slime mold was exposed to exogenous glucose, uracil, and inorganic phosphate for either 900 or 90 min to determine their effects on the cellular levels of glucose 6-phosphate (glucose-6-P), UDP-glucose, glycogen, trehalose, and cellulose. Glucose, and phosphate to a lesser extent, increase the levels of glucose-6-P and trehalose, whereas glycogen levels are increased only by glucose. Uracil inhibits glucose-6-P and trehalose accumulation, and this inhibition is reversed by glucose or phosphate. Uracil, especially in the presence of glucose, stimulates the accumulation of UDP-glucose and cellulose. In an attempt to understand the dynamics of the biochemical mechanisms underlying these experimental observations, fluxes of the same metabolites were imposed on a kinetic model of this system. The effects of glucose, uracil, and phosphate either singly or in various combinations on the accumulation of glycogen and trehalose can be predicted quantitatively by applying the appropriate external flux(es) of these additives to the model; the predicted effects on glucose-6-P levels are qualitatively consistent with the observations, but are greater in magnitude, suggesting compartmentation of glucose-6-P. Matching the observed and simulated results requires a lower level of additive in the simulated system than in the actual experiment, which is consistent with earlier studies on the cellular permeability of these metabolites.It is concluded that the complex of flux changes induced in the model by the perturbing metabolites may also occur in vivo, and that endogenous glucose availability is a critical variable controlling the rate and cessation of differentiation as well as the relative amounts of the saccharide end products of differentiation.  相似文献

Muscle contents of ATP, ADP, AMP, creatine phosphate and creatine as well as glycogen, some glycolytic intermediates, pyruvate and lactate were compared in the intact, thyroidectomized and triiodothyronine (T3) treated dogs under resting conditions. After thyroidectomy muscle glycogen, glucose 1-phosphate and glucose 6-phosphate contents were significantly elevated while in T3-treated animals these variables were decreased in comparison with control dogs. Muscle free glucose was not altered by thyroidectomy but T3 treatment significantly increased its content. Muscle lactate content was elevated both in hypo- and hyperthyroid animals. Muscle ATP and total adenine nucleotide contents were significantly increased in hyperthyroid dogs while no differences were found between the three groups in the muscle creatine phosphate content. It is assumed that in T3-treated animals carbohydrate catabolism is enhanced in the resting skeletal muscle in spite of high tissue ATP content. Muscle metabolite alterations in hypothyroid dogs seem to reflect the hypometabolism accompanied by a diminished rate of glycogenolysis with inhibited rate of pyruvate oxidation or decreased rate of lactate removal from the cells.  相似文献
