To understand the pathogenesis of brain edema, we studied distribution and constitutional changes of brain-tissue water by morphological and ther-moanalytical methods in cytotoxic brain edema induced by 6-aminonicotinamide (6-ANA).

Ninety-two Wistar rats were divided into three groups ; Group I rats receiving physiological salt solution intraperitoneally served as controls. Group II and III animals were intraperitoneally given 120 mg/kg and 36 mg/kg of 6-ANA respectively. All animals were starved after injection of drugs to exclude differences in water intake. Then they were decapitated at 3, 6, 12, 24, 36 or 48 hours to measure specific gravity (SG) of large brain tissue (1.1-1.5 g), and to evaluate water content (WC) and free water ratio (FWR) of small brain-tissue samples (15-35 mg) taken from the frontal cortex ; WC was measured by a drying-weighing method, and FWR was analyzed with a differential scan-ning calorimeter. Moreover morphological changes of the frontal cortex of the brain were studied in Group If (n=12) at 3, 6, 12, 24 and 48 hours with an electron microscope.

Neurological status of animals administered 6-ANA (Group II and III) deteriolated with time. Morphological studies showed that perivascular astrocytes and astrocytic processes in the cerebral cortex were swollen most remarkably at 48 hours.However neuronal and endothelial cells were al-most intact. The FWR of Group I decreased significantly about four per cent (p<0.001) after being starved for 48 hours. But the SG and WC of the group showed little change. In contrast with controls, the FWRs of 6-ANA injected ani-mals (Group II and III) gradually increased and reached to significant maximal values at 12 hours in Group II (p<0.05) and at 24 hours in Group III (p<0.001) respectively. The SGs of these two groups decreased significantly at 24 and 36 hours in Group II, and at 12 and 24 hours in Group III.However there were no significant changes of the WC in the experimental groups. Probably because brain-tissue water increased too little to be detec-ted by a drying-weighing method using such small samples.

It is concluded that 6-ANA induced brain edema is characterized by intraglial retention of free water component in the gray matter of the brain, in contrast with ischemic brain edema, in which both free and bound water increase together, as previously reported in our papers.
