HORMONAL PROTECTION OF RATS BREATHING OXYGEN AT HIGH PRESSURE1,2
@article{Troy1972HORMONALPO, title={HORMONAL PROTECTION OF RATS BREATHING OXYGEN AT HIGH PRESSURE1,2}, author={Shuang S. Troy and Donald Herbert Ford}, journal={Acta Neurologica Scandinavica}, year={1972}, volume={48} }
Sex differences in susceptibility to high pressure oxygen (OHP)‐induced convulsions were observed in mature rats. Male rats convulsed significantly earlier than did females. After adrenalectomy, seizures disappeared in most females and some male rats. The number of adrenalectomized male rats which resisted OHP‐induced convulsions increased from 40 % to 91 % when they were treated with estradiol subcutaneously. Rats which do not convulse during the exposure to OHP eventually develop pulmonary…

Oxygen resistant mouse strains useful in evaluating HBO as a therapeutic agent for certain disease states have been delineated and comparative studies of the inherent biochemical and physiological characteristics of these susceptible and resistant inbred strains could be useful in efforts to elucidate mechanisms of oxygen toxicity.

A correlation between the rate of decrease in GABA and susceptibility to seizures was shown to exist not only over the varying oxygen pressures and varying concentrations of carbon dioxide used in the present experiments out also over varying animal species.

The present experimental approach has been to compare OHP-induced convulsions with seizures caused by various well known convulsant drugs in the belief that the results so obtained might shed further light on the biochemical mechanisms involved in O HP-induced seizures.

The increase in GABA content in the cerebral hemispheres 30 days after ovariectomy of adult female rats amounts to 20% above the normal value, which appears to be the reverse of the effect of castration on GABA content.

The possibility must be considered that here too a deranged GABA metabolism is responsible for the observed disturbances in the functioning of the central nervous system and the degree of protection and GABA levels in the tissues is described in this paper.
