    Abstract:
    Changes in cerebral cortical adenine nucleotide and adenosine levels during 10-, 20-, or 40-min periods of four-vessel occlusion producing cerebral ischemia in rats and reperfusions of 10, 45, or 90 min were determined to evaluate the effects of ischemia duration on mitochondrial function. Substantial recovery was evident following 10 or 20 min of cerebral ischemia but not, however, after a 40-min period of ischemia. A secondary decline in the cortical levels of ATP became evident following 40 min of cerebral ischemia and 90 min of reperfusion. Longer periods of ischemia may be associated with a loss of adenosine, limiting the resynthesis of ATP during reperfusion. A separate group of rats, resuscitated with 100% O2, demonstrated a more rapid recovery of mitochondrial function compared with animals that received room air during reperfusion following 20 min of cerebral ischemia. No detrimental effects of 100% O2 were observed during the 90-min period of reperfusion, indicating that 100% O2 does not promote early mitochondrial dysfunction.
