RESUMEN
In the present study, Mongolian gerbil was used to make delayed neuronal damage (IND) animal model. In 6 different brain regions, 5 kinds of biochemical indexes in the aspect of free radical metabolism were measured at 7 time phases during ischemia and reperfusion. The results showed that, after transient cerebral ischemia and during reperfusion, some unique changes appeared tn hippocampal CA1 sector, which were characterized by the persistent increase of free radical content and persistent decrease of the Mn-SOD activity. The fluctuating changes could be seen in Cu, Zn-SOD activity and lipid peroxide content. There were no significant changes in the brain regions other than CA1 sector. It is concluded that the disturbance of free radical metabolism play a key role in the occur. fence of DND. It was also observed that Aniracetam, Helicid and Nieardipine had some control effects to a certatn extent on the free radical disturbance above in hippocampal CA1 sector of DND animals.
