Abstract
Changes of cGMP content in the rat brain and plasma have been evaluated by means of the radioimmunologic method after 5-min clinical death and up to 2 hours after resuscitation. Ischemia produced a decrease of cGMP in the brain, however, at the 15th min after resuscitation a reversible significant rise of nucleotide concentration was noted. In plasma at the end of ischemia and in the postischemic period a significant decrease of cGMP level was observed. The mechanisms of cGMP regulation in the central nervous system and the significance of the obtained results are discussed.
