    Abstract:
    Effects of S-adenosyl-L-methionine sulfate tosylate (FO-1561) on postischemic cerebral functional and metabolic recovery in experimental cerebral ischemia were investigated. Severe bilateral forebrain ischemia in rats was induced by four-vessel occlusion with reducing the mean arterial pressure to 100-110 mmHg. After forebrain ischemia had been maintained for 30 minutes, recirculation was started by removal of the arterial clamps of bilateral common carotid arteries and by increasing systemic arterial pressure to the preischemic level. The EEG was continuously recorded from gold-coated screws inserted bilaterally in the parietal bones with the tips in extradural position, against a reference inserted prefrontal bone. Analysis of power spectrum of EEG activity was done by Berg Fourier Analyser. The brains were frozen in situ with liquid nitrogen before, during and after ischemia and then chiselled out during irrigation with liquid nitrogen. Concentrations of ATP in brain tissue were determined with high performance liquid chromatography. FO-1561, 100 mg/kg, was given intravenously, immediately after recirculation. After recirculation there was a tendency that EEG power spectrum in FO-1561-treated animals contained higher percentage of beta wave compared to that in control animals, while delta wave was lesser in FO-1561-treated animals. At 90 minutes following recirculation, ATP level in control animals was 2.17 +/- 0.05 mumol/g (mean +/- SE) and 2.42 +/- 0.03 mumol/g (mean +/- SE) in FO-1561-treated animals. Thus, recovery of ATP level was significantly better in FO-1561-treated animals than in control animals (p less than 0.01).
