Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The aim of this study was to implement the microdialysis method, a well-established technique for measuring the local concentration of neurotransmitters and metabolites in the brain, in the dorsal skinfold chamber of the awake hamster. First, the effects of implanted, nonperfused microdialysis probes on the microcirculation were examined. Skinfold chambers were prepared with and without probes. Two and 3 days later, the following parameters were assessed: diameter, red blood cell (RBC) velocity, macromolecular leakage, leukocyte rolling fraction, and adherent leukocytes in venules, diameter and macromolecular leakage in arterioles, and functional capillary density (FCD). No significant differences between the animals of the two groups were observed in any of the parameters on either day. Second, the interstitial lactate concentration was measured at two perfusion rates in groups with and without a 4-h tourniquet ischemia. The induction of ischemia resulted in a significant increase in lactate concentration over the control values in the tissue within 1 h to 8000 +/- 860 microM, where it remained until the reperfusion, at which point the concentration returned to control values within 1 h. The microdialysis method provides the opportunity to measure the concentration of metabolites in the extravascular space of the hamster dorsal skinfold chamber.
