Abstract
Acute cerebral ischemia in cats (both carotid arteries occlusion during 30 min after permanent occlusion of both vertebral arteries) was accompanied by postischemic hypoperfusion and hypo-oxygenation of the cerebral tissue. Intravenous infusion of cerebrocrast (1 micrograms.kg-1.min-1 during 60 min) prevented manifestation of the postischemic phenomena. Antihypoxic effect of cerebrocrast involved the cerebral blood flow increase, brain oxygen consumption lowering and Hb-O2-affinity decrease.
