Kurzfassung:
The cytoprotective effect of prostaglandins (PG) was evaluated by in vivo 31 P MR spectroscopy. Twenty rabbits were divided into two groups; the control group given physiological saline, and the PG group given prostaglandin E 1 (0.5 μg/kg/min). Each solution was infused for 8 min, after which complete hepatic ischemia was induced for 20 min, followed by reperfusion for 40 min. During ischemia, β‐ATP decreased to 23.6% and 42.3%, phosphomonoester increased to 260% and 200% of their initial values in the control and the PG groups, respectively. Inorganic phosphate also increased. After reperfusion, β‐ATP recovered to 65.2% and 96.5%, phosphomonoester to 130% and 110%, inorganic phosphate to 140% and 120% in the control and PG groups, respectively. The changes during ischemia were significantly smaller and the recoveries during reperfusion were more complete in the PG group. These results may confirm the cytoprotective effect of prostaglandins by in vivo 31 P‐MR spectroscopy.
