Abstract

Serious brain ischemia was induced by occlusion of cerebral arteries in dogs. The occlusion time was 7 min. The blood was collected at various intervals of reperfusion (5, 60, 180, 240 min and 24 h). Thirty minutes before ischemization, stobadine was given (1, 2, or 5 mg/kg). The changes of erythrocyte membrane fluidity were evaluated using colloid-osmotic hemolysis induced by brilliant cresyl blue. In the control group (without stobadine) the colloid-osmotic hemolysis was significantly increased immediately after ischemization and after 5 and 60 min. However, after 240 min of reperfusion, a significant decrease of hemolysis was observed. The increase of colloid-osmotic hemolysis after ischemization in the control group was prevented after stobadine pretreatment. The thrombotization of microcirculation that was observed in the control group was not present after stobadine pretreatment.
