    Abstract:
    Initial levels of phosphate brain metabolites were measured using 31P NMR spectroscopy in rats which subsequently died or survived under bilateral ligation of common carotid arteries. A multidimensional analysis was applied. In the rats which died after the brain ischemia: (1), NAD and NADH+ concentrations were much higher than those of creatine phosphate or ATP (i.e. baseline dysbalance existed between the systems of hydrogen acceptors and major macroergic substances); (2), the force of relationships between parameters of NMR spectra in each correlation matrix were 10 times higher and the variability of elements in each matrix was significantly lower than those of the surviving group. These regularities can be used in detection of special groups at high professional risk and in designing individual procedures of prevention and treatment of cerebral circulation disorders. The data are valuable in terms of development of drugs which would correct the dysbalance between hydrogen acceptors and macroergic systems thus providing a metabolic defense for the ischemic brain.
