Abstract
Purpose: Cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury is a serious threat to human health. This study aimed to determine the effects of commonly used intravenous anesthetics in I/R injury on oxidant and antioxidant status and neuron-specific enolase. Material and Methods: The groups were sham, control, ketamine, thiopental, and propofol. No ischemia-reperfusion was performed in the rats of the control group. At the end of the reperfusion phase, tissue samples were collected for biochemical and histopathologic examinations. We measured biomarkers of oxidative stress. These included catalase, superoxide dismutase, and malondialdehyde using spectrophotometry. The level of neuron-specific enolase was measured by ELISA. Histopathological analysis of the tissue was performed under a light microscope. Results: In the control group, ischemia-reperfusion significantly increased the malondialdehyde and neuron-specific enolase levels and decreased the level of antioxidant enzymes (p<0.05). However, the ketamine, thiopental, and propofol groups had significantly lower levels of antioxidant enzymes compared to the control group, similar to the sham group (p<0.05). Histopathologic examination of the damage observed in the ketamine, thiopental, and propofol control groups was associated with signs of regeneration. Conclusion: This study provides in vivo evidence that some anesthetic agents protect against cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury.
