Abstract

Both nitric oxide and asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) play a critical role in the regulation of cerebral blood flow, though their neuroprotective and cytotoxic effects are still under investigation. In this study, we found that nitrate/nitrite (NO_x) levels in plasma, ischemic brain tissue, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) increased significantly 24 h after 2 h transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) in rats. ADMA levels were unchanged in plasma, but decreased significantly in CSF 24 h following MCAO. The CSF ADMA/NO_x ratio decreased markedly following ischemia. Rats protected by expression of the chaperonin GroEL or its folding deficient mutant D87K had lower plasma NO_x levels at 24 h reperfusion. ADMA, NO, and their ratio in CSF merit further study as biomarkers for ischemic brain injury.
