The objective of the present study was to discover whether or not intracellular alkalosis develops in the brain in the recovery period following transient ischemia. Forebrain ischemia of 15-min duration was induced by four-vessel occlusion in rats, with recovery periods of 15, 60, and 180 min. Intracellular pH was derived both by the HCO3−–H2CO3 method and from the creatine kinase equilibrium. The ischemia was associated with energy failure and marked accumulation of lactic acid in the cerebral cortex. Recirculation brought about rapid rephosphorylation of adenine nucleotides and gradual normalization of lactic acid levels. After 15 min of recovery, the HCO3−–H2CO3 method indicated persisting acidosis, but the creatine kinase reaction did not. After 60 min, a shift of pH in the alkaline direction was demonstrated in both methods. This alkalosis had disappeared after 3 h of recovery. It is concluded that resumption of ATP production after ischemia is followed by a rapid rise in intracellular pH, which transiently increases above normal.

The authors tested the hypothesis that the oxygen content of brain tissue is negligible by injecting an intracarotid bolus of 15O-labeled tracer into rats. Under the hypothesis, the clearance rates of 15O radioactivity from the brain after injections of both 15O-labeled water (H215O) and 15O-labeled oxyhemoglobin (HbO15O) should be identical. However, the logarithmic slope of the 15O radioactivity curve after HbO15O injection (0.494 ± 0.071 min-1) was steeper than that after H215O injection (0.406 ± 0.038 min−1) ( P<0.001, n = 13), where the time range used in the comparison was between 60 and 120 seconds after the injection. A possible interpretation of this result is that nonmetabolized O15O may dwell in the brain tissue for a finite period of time before it is eventually metabolized or returned to the blood stream unaltered. These findings contradict assumptions made by models currently used to measure cerebral oxygen metabolism.
