Influence of blood sera from dogs subjected to ischemia and recirculation on incorporation of 14C-amino acids in vitro.
Incomplete ischemia of the spinal cord was produced in dogs by 40 min occlusion of the abdominal aorta that was followed by 5-40 min of recirculation. Amino acid incorporation into ribosomes in vitro in the presence of venous blood sera was estimated. The most significant reduction in incorporation was produced by sera of the dogs following a short recirculation period (5-10 min). No significant changes were observed at the end of the ischemic period nor at longer periods of recirculation. The decrease in incorporation might be the consequence of inactivation or absence of a substance stimulating polypeptide synthesis in vitro, normally present in blood sera of intact dogs, that temporarily loses its activity during recirculation.
