Effects of controlled hypotension induced with human ?-calcitonin gene-related peptide and sodium nitroprusside on cerebral energy store in rat / 中华麻醉学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective: To evaluate the safety of controlled hypotension produced by human ?-calcitonin gene-related peptide(?-hCGRP)and sodium nitroprusside. Method: Twenty SD rats were randomly divided into ?-hCGRP(C) and sodium nitroprusside(S) groups. Animals in group C were infused intravenously with 0.001％ ?-hCGRP and those in group S with 0.01％ sodium nitroprusside. The mean blood pressure of rat was reduced to 6.7kPa and maintained for 30 min. Cerebral glucose,lactate,ATP, and phosphocreatine levels were measured at 0 and 30th min of hypotension. Result: Cerebral glucose level increased slightly,lactate level decreased significantly,ATP and phosphocreatine contents did not change in group C at 30th min of hypotension compared with those at 0 min of hypotension,respectively.Cerebral glucose level increased slightly,lactate concentration increased significantly,ATP and phosphocreatine contents decreased significantly in group S at 30th min of hypotension in comparison with those at 0 min of hypotension, respectively. Conclusion: Hypotension induced with alpha-hCGRP can maintain adequate cerebral oxygen supply,but with sodium nitroprusside may cause cerebral hypoxia.
