摘要
OBJECTIVE: Oxygen free radical-mediated lipid peroxidation has been proposed to be one of the major mechanisms of secondary damage in traumatic brain injury. The first purpose of this study was to establish the time-level relationship for lipid peroxidation in injured brain tissue. The second purpose was to examine the protective effect of alpha-tocopherol against lipid peroxidation. METHODS: For this study, 65 guinea pigs in five groups were studied. Five of the animals were identified as a control group, and the remaining 60 animals were divided equally into four groups (Groups A, B, C, and D). Mild injury (200 g x cm) (Groups A and C) and severe injury (1000 g x cm) (Croups B and D) were produced by the method of Feeney et al. alpha-Tocopherol (100 mg/kg) was administered intraperitoneally before brain injury in Groups C and D, Five animals from each group were killed immediately after trauma, five after 1 hour, and the remaining five animals after 36 hours. Lipid peroxidation in traumatized brain tissues was assessed using the thiobarbituric acid method. RESULTS: In all groups with traumatic brain injuries, levels of malondialdehyde, a lipid peroxidation product, were higher than in the control group. The amount of lipid peroxidation was increased by the severity of the trauma. alpha-Tocopherol significantly suppressed the rise in lipid peroxide levels in traumatized brain tissues. CONCLUSION: This study demonstrates that lipid peroxidation is increased by the severity of trauma and that cy-tocopherol has a protective effect against oxygen free radical-mediated lipid peroxidation in mild and severe brain injury.
