    Abstract:
    The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of normoxic reperfusion and graded postischemic reoxygenation on cerebral protein synthesis in a cell-free system. Ischemia alone produced a relatively small decrease (15-17%) in activity in all the subcellular systems studied. After a 15-min interval of normoxic reperfusion (75-90 mmHg O2 in arterial blood), a 40% decrease (p less than 0.01) in [14C]leucine incorporation was observed. Reoxygenation with hypoxemic blood containing 37.5 mm Hg O2 at 0-5 min and 56 mm Hg O2 at 6-10 min of recirculation followed by 5 min of normoxic reperfusion resulted in a significant increase (p less than 0.05) of polypeptide chain synthesis in vitro when compared with normoxic reperfusion. The results obtained by this experimental approach tend to show that graded postischemic reoxygenation could be used as a simple and effective neuroprotective tool that substantially diminishes the secondary postischemic damage in nervous tissue, including the newly synthesized proteins.
