Effect of omental transposition to the brain on protein synthesis in experimental cerebral ischaemia.
Occlusion of the middle cerebral artery severely affects the uptake of labelled leucine into various subcellular fractions from rabbit brain. Previous transposition of pedicled omentum to the cerebral surface maintains to a large extent the protein synthetic activity of the brain following arterial occlusion. The role of the transposed omentum in providing an effective collateral circulation and minimizing the occurrence of irreversible ischaemic lesions is stressed.
