The involvements of arachidonic acid metabo-lites in the development of ischemic brain edema and cerebral energy metabolism were investigated on the experimental ischemia and reperfusion model.

The level of arachidonic acid in brain tissue increases especially on the ischemic insult, which is rapidly converted to prostaglandins and leuko-trienes after the reperfusion. The drugs which modify the arachidonic acid metabolism were ad-ministrated to clarify the effect on ischemic brain edema and cerebral energy metabolism. Male stroke resistant spontanously hypertensive rats (SHRSR) were subjected to incomplete ischemia for two hours by occlusion of both common carotid arteries with vascular clips, and reperfused for two hours. The drugs used are dexamethasone, indomethacin, trapidil and OKY-046. Indometha-cin inhibits cyclooxygenase. Dexamethasone in-hibits phospholipases by the production of lipo-cortin. OKY-046 inhibits thromboxane A2synthe-tase. Trapidil inhibits thromboxane A2 synthetase and increases the level of 6-keto-PGF.. These drugs were administrated 18 hours before, just after clipping on (1/2) and off (1/2). Brain water content, cerebral ATP and lactic acid levels were examined. In the saline treated group, the cere-bral water content was increased after the reperfu-sion and reached its maximal level after two hours of the reperfusion. The development of brain edema was prevented by the administration of dexamethasone or trapidil, but not by indome-thacin and OKY-046.

Administration of trapidil or dexamethasone was found to prevent the decrease in ATP and the increase of lactic acid. In the indomethacin admin-istrated group, only the increase of lactic acid was prevented. 6-keto-PGF was high in the trapidil administrated group and low in the indo-methacin administrated group. TXB2 level was low in the indomethacin group and in the OKY-046 group. The involvement of arachidonic acid cascade in the development ischemic brain edema was investigated. It is shown that the cerebral energy metabolism and brain edema were influ-enced by various stimulations and inhibitions of the arachidonic acid cascade metabolites, which may indicate the involvements in the ischemic damage. The decrease of thromboxane B2/6-keto-PGF. may improve the microcirculation and the cerebral energy metabolism, but has no effect on the inhibition of cerebral edema formation.

From the results of dexamethasone and indo-methacin administrations, it can be suggested that lipoxygenase metabolites may be participate to the aggravation of cerebral edema.
