In this study, the cerebral hemisphere content of calcium as well as selected parameters of oxidative metabolism and electrophysiological function were assessed in normoglycemic and hyperglycemic rats that were exposed to ischemia produced by electrocautery of the vertebral arteries and reversible occlusion of the carotid arteries. In hyperglycemic animals, 0.5 h of ischemia was associated with large accumulations of lactate (27 mmol/kg), whereas normoglycemic animals showed lesser lactate accumulation (17 mmol/kg). At this sampling time (0.5 h of ischemia), both groups of ischemic animals showed tissue calcium contents that were unchanged from preischemic control levels. In normoglycemic animals, release of the carotid clamps and recirculation for 1.5–24 h was associated with normalization of lactate, ATP and phosphocreatine, clinical behavior, and EEC During this 24 h of recirculation, cerebral calcium levels showed no changes. Hyperglycemic ischemic animals recirculated for 1.5–24 h showed a persistent lactic acidosis, depressed ATP and phosphocreatine, gross EEG abnormalities, seizures, and a high mortality rate. Again, during this 24 h period, cerebral calcium content showed no changes from preischemic control or from the matched saline-treated group. These data suggest that significant accumulation of calcium in brain tissue is not an early event in ischemic-hyperglycemic brain damage, and thus does not provide support for a role of calcium in the production of this form of ischemic damage.

The contraction of guinea-pig taenia coli due to high K+ could not be reversed by washing when Na+ was absent from the medium. Reintroduction of Na+ (7 mM or more) caused relaxation. Similar results were obtained with rat uterus. The effect of sodium replacement was not due to change in ionic strength because equal or higher osmoles of choline, Ca++, K+, Mn++, or Mg++ had little or no effect. Persistence of contraction in the Na+-free medium was not due to a “catch state” of the contractile apparatus. Impairment of Ca+ removal from the cytoplasm rather than persistent increase in Ca+ influx seemed to sustain the mechanical response. This was because D600 (a calcium influx blocker) failed to completely relax K+-induced contraction in the absence of Na+ and also because the ability of EGTA to produce relaxation was reduced in the absence of Na+. Measurement of tissue calcium content using the lanthanum method revealed coincident decrease in tissue calcium and tension to control level during Na+-mediated relaxation. The results suggest a role for transmembrane Na+-Ca++ exchange in causing the Na+-mediated relaxation of taenia undergoing Na+-free contracture.
