Additional experiments have been conducted in severely head-injured cats to assess the effects of U-74006F on brain energy metabolites [61]. A 1 mg/kg i.v. dose administered at 30 minutes post-injury, plus a second 0.5 mg/kg dose 2 hours later, resulted in an improved metabolic profile within the injured hemisphere measured at 4 hours. Most notably, U-74006F significantly reduced post-traumatic accumulation of lactic acid in both the cerebral cortex and the sub-cortical white matter. This biochemical effect suggests an improved maintenance of cerebral blood flow in the injured brain. As noted above, U-74006F does very effectively reduce progressive development of post-traumatic ischemia in experimental cat spinal-cord injury [24,27] which may also provide the explanation for the reduction of post-traumatic lactate levels in the injured brain.

To study other regions of the CNS, cerebrospinal fluid spaces have been perfused. Fagg et al. (1978) studied the release of endogenous amino acids into the perfused central canal of the cat spinal cord. A hypodermic needle was lowered into the central canal and cannulated at the sacral end with polyethylene tubing. Warmed artificial CSF was perfused (60 u.I7min) through theca-...
