title: Cerebral hypoxia-ischemia in immature rats: methodological considerations.
abstract: We used a model of perinatal hypoxic/ischemic brain damage which combines unilateral common carotid artery ligation and hypoxia (8% O2). Protein synthesis inhibition and cell loss were found in the ipsilateral forebrain of 11-day-old rats when hypoxia was initiated 4 h but not 24 h after carotid ligation. [14C]Iodoantipyrine uptake studies suggest that compensating vascular changes which protect the ipsilateral forebrain occur within 24 h of carotid ligation.
