ABSTRACT
Aim To investigate the effects of masculine drug Duxil on striatum extracellular acetylcholine(ACh),glucose and lactic acid(LD) levels in energy metabolism impairment rats induced by intracerebral perfusion with sodium azide(NaN3).Methods Rats were divided into three groups:control,model and Duxil groups.Rats of Duxil group were treated with 10 mg?kg-1?d-1 Duxil for 14 d.Other two groups were treated with water for 14 d.After 2 wk microdialysis technique was adopted and the rats were perfused with NaN3 in striatum and continuously measured striatum extracellular ACh,glucose and LD levels in freely moving awake rats.Results During perfusion(90 min) and stoping perfusion(180,240,360 min)period with NaN3 striatum extracellular ACh levels in the model group were significantly lower than those in the control group(P

0.05).Conclution After at a time sampling the levels of hydroxyl free radical and monoamines neurotransmitters and their metabolites from brain micronilysis of freely moving rats during salicylate sodium-Ringer's solusion perfusion can be simultaneously measured by HPLC-ED.
ABSTRACT
AIM To establish the method of continuous measuring extracellular Acetylcholine and Choline levels in[FQ(10*2。46,X-WZ]-striatum of freely moving awake rats. METHODS The microdialysis and high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC)-post column Immobilized enzyme reactor(IMER)-electrochemical detection(ED) were used to continuously measure extracellular acetylcholine and choline levels in striatum of freely moving awake rats. RESULTS Extracellular acetylcholine and choline levels were higher at the beginning of perfusion, then decreased gradually. The ACh concentration reached a stable level after 240 min while the Ch continuously decreased in the whole perfusion period of 450 min. The detection limit for ACh and Ch, at a S/N ratio of three, was found to be 150 fmol per injection. In the range of 0.125～1.0 ?mol?L -1 , the relation between the amounts and the peak amplitude was linear. CONCLUSION HPLC-IMER-ED is a sensitive and stable method to measure the ACh and Ch. Coupled with microdialysis, it can been successfully used for monitoring the extracellular ACh and Ch levels of freely moving awake rats. -
ABSTRACT
Aim To provide an approach to drug filtration and the research into damage of brain cell caused by senile retrograde affection and oxidative stresses,a model of increased extracellular hydroxyl radical in striatum of rats was established by intracerebral perfusion of 6-hydroxy dopamine(6-OHDA).Method Microdialysis was used to establish the model,hydroxyl radicals captured by salicylic acid yielded 2,3-dihydroxy benzyl acid(2,3-DHBA) and 2,5-dihydroxy benzyl acid(2,5-DHBA) which were measured by HPLC-ED.Results After 75 minuets of the perfusion with 6-OHDA in brain of rats,the levels of 2,3-DHBA and 2,5-DHBA in the model group increased to 6.6 and 3.4 times compered with the control group respectively;and the 2,3-DHBA was still higher than that of the control group in the whole course of observation(P
