Ischaemia-reperfusion injury in mouse skeletal muscle is reduced by N omega-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester and dexamethasone.

Abstract:

:We have developed a model of ischaemia-reperfusion injury in C57BL/6 mice involving ischaemia for 0.5 to 2.5 h with an elastic tourniquet on one hind limb and reperfusion for 24 h, analogous to a well-established model of ischaemia-reperfusion injury in the rat. Viability was assessed in tissue homogenates of the gastrocnemius muscles from the affected and contralateral control limb by a triphenyl tetrazolium chloride dye reaction, measuring the activity of the oxidative mitochondrial enzymes. After 1.5 h ischaemia and 24 h reperfusion, viability in the ischaemic-reperfused limb was 13%, with the control muscle regarded as 100% viable. Significant improvements in viability to 86% (P < 0.05) and 56% (P < 0.05) were achieved, with administration 30 min prior to tourniquet release, of the nitric oxide (NO) synthase inhibitor nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME, 30 mg/kg) and the anti-inflammatory glucocorticoid dexamethasone (2.5 mg/kg) respectively, with similar findings in the rat tourniquet model.

  • In vitro binding of the very potent and selective D-2 dopamine agonist, [3H]N-0437 to calf caudate membranes.

    abstract::N-0437, a non-catecholic aminotetralin has recently been described as a very potent and selective dopamine D-2 agonist. In this study the in vitro binding of [3H]N-0437 (specific activity 80.6 Ci/mmol) to calf caudate membranes is described. It was found that [3H]N-0437 binds with a high affinity (KD = 0.17 nM) and a ...
