Abstract

The effects of a focal lesion induced by endothelin-1 (ETI1, 0.8 mu g/0.8 mu l) on superoxide dismutase (SOD) were studied in the neostriatum of male rats. SOD activity was analyzed at several time intervals (5, 20, 60 min, 4, 24 h and 7 days) after the lesion. No significant changes were observed early after the injection, but SOD activity started to rise significantly at the 60-min time interval reaching a peak 24 h after the injection. In a second experiment the volume of ET-1-induced lesion was evaluated following treatments which induce variations of SOD activity. ET-1 caused a large lesion (9.20 +/- 1.32 mm(3)) in the neostriatum 24 h after the injection that was 3-fold greater than that observed 1 h after. Rats treated with the SOD inhibitor diethyldithiocarbamate showed a lesion equivalent to that observed 1 h after ET-1 injection, suggesting that SOD may be involved in the maturation of ET-1-induced neuronal damage.
