Abstract
Plasma concentrations of five AA (asparate ASP, glutamate GLU, glycine GLY, taurine TAU, and gamma-aminobutyric acid GABA were measured in arterial (a) and sagittal sinus (v) plasma samples in nine piglets exposed to HO(10% O2) and HV (bleeding 20%). Samples were taken at baseline (BL), during HO, after HV, and 30 (30′) and 60 min (60′) after HO.
A generalized increase in AA were seen after HO and HV, particulary in GLU, ASP (HO+HV), and TAU (HO). While GABA showed no change in Δ(v-a), a tendency (p=0.11) was noted for ASP, while GLU, GLY and TAU were not conclusive.
