Effect of omental transposition on to the brain on the cortical content of norepinephrine, dopamine, 5-hydroxytryptamine and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid in experimental cerebral ischaemia.
Local cerebral ischaemia causes a significant decrease in norepinephrine, dopamine, 5-hydroxytryptamine in the cortical brain tissue of rabbits, associated with an increase in 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid. Previous transposition of the omentum on to the brain surface maintains, to a large extent, physiological levels of these metabolites. This study stresses the role of the transposed omentum in reducing the effects of experimental occlusion of a major cerebral artery.
