Lipoperoxide concentration did not change in group I (rest, 302 =/- 8 a.u.; clamp, 296 =/- 13 a.u.; p = NS vs, rest; declamp, 304 =/- 8 a.u.; p = NS vs. rest), and increased significantly in group II (rest, 313 +/- 5 a.u.; clamp, 352 +/- 9 a.u.; p < 0.01 vs, rest; declamp, 343 +/- 6 a.u.; p < 0.05 vs. rest). Cerebral oxidative stress associated with human carotid endarterectomy can be attenuated by pretreatment with oral dipyridamole.

Abstract
We sought to test the hypothesis of an antioxidant effect of dipyridamole in vivo in a model of cerebral hypoperfusion. Twenty-one patients (65 +/- 10 years, 11 men) undergoing carotid endarterectomy were allocated in two groups (group I, 10 with dipyridamole, 200 mg p.o., 3-4 h before surgery; group II, 11 with placebo) in a double-blind placebo-controlled randomized design. Blood was sampled from ipsilateral jugular bulb. and plasma vitamin E content was assayed before, after 15 and 30 min of clamp, and 2 and 10 min after declamping. In 12 of them, lipoperoxides were assayed. Vitamin E plasma content decreased significantly in group II (rest, 3.71 +/- 0.22 mmnol/mol of cholesterol, 100%) after clamp (91.5% of rest, p < 0.01) and remained unchanged during declamping (90.9% of rest, p < 0.01), but did not change in group I (rest, 3.5 +/- 0.44 mmol/mol of cholesterol, 100%) during clamping (99.9% of rest; p = NS) and after declamping (97.6% of rest; p = NS). Lipoperoxide concentration did not change in group I (rest, 302 =/- 8 a.u.; clamp, 296 =/- 13 a.u.; p = NS vs, rest; declamp, 304 =/- 8 a.u.; p = NS vs. rest), and increased significantly in group II (rest, 313 +/- 5 a.u.; clamp, 352 +/- 9 a.u.; p < 0.01 vs, rest; declamp, 343 +/- 6 a.u.; p < 0.05 vs. rest). Cerebral oxidative stress associated with human carotid endarterectomy can be attenuated by pretreatment with oral dipyridamole.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
