Hyperglycemia in global cerebral ischemia and reperfusion: a 31-phosphorous NMR spectroscopy study in rats.
31-phosphorous magnetic resonance spectroscopy was used in a rat model of 10 min severe incomplete forebrain ischemia (two-vessel occlusion with hypotension) to assess the effect of hyperglycemia on intracellular pH and high energy phosphates during ischemia and early reperfusion. One group (n = 8) with preischemic hyperglycemia (serum glucose 20 mmol.l-1) showed an increased intracellular acidosis (pH 6.35) during ischemia compared to 6.55 in the normoglycemic control group (n = 7, P less than 0.001), but the recovery of phosphocreatine and ATP in early reperfusion was the same in the two groups. Another group (n = 7) was normoglycemic during ischemia, but received an i.v. bolus of glucose during the first minute of reperfusion. In this group the recovery of intracellular pH in early reperfusion was slower than in the control group (0.034 +/- 0.006 pH units per minute compared to 0.052 +/- 0.11 in the controls, +/- s.d. and P less than 0.01).
