Changes of monoamine nervous transmitter and free radical met abolism in aged rats with gastrointestinal injury after brain ischemia reper fusion
Abstract：Objective： To study the mechanism of gastrointestinal injury after brain ischemia reperfusi on in aged rats from the changes of dopamine(DA),noradrenalin(NE),epinephrine(E) and the injury of free radical.Methods：Young(5months) and aged (20 months or more) rats were divided into young model group (YMG),young control group(YCG),aged model group (AMG),aged control group(ACG).The following items were measured in rats with 60 minute reperfusion after 30 minute brain ischemia:the pathological change of ga strointestinal tract:the activities of super-oxide dismutase(SOD),the contents of MDA,DA,NE,E. Results：The pathological change of gastrointestinal tract was found in the YMG and the AMG.The excitability of sympathetic-adrenal system was enhanced in the YMG and the AMG,this change in the AMG was serious compared w ith that in the YMG.The gastrointestinal MDA/SOD ratio was larger in the ACG and the YMG than that in the YCG.The stomach MDA/SOD ratio was larger in the AMG th an that in the ACG and the YMG.Conclusion: The gastrointestinal injury after brain ischemia rep erfusion in aged rats was correlated with the change of the enhanced excitabilit y of sympathetic-adrenal system and free radical injury.With aging these pathol ogical change were obvious and distinctive compared with that in the young rats.
