Brain glycogen following experimental cerebral ischemia in gerbils (Meriones unguiculatus)

Summary Cortical glycogen levels decreased after both 1 and 3 h of unilateral ischemia. After 1 h of recirculation, the levels of glycogen were restored to control values in both groups. Subsequently, glycogen increased above normal levels after 1 week of recirculation in the 1 h ischemic groups, and after 5 h in the 3 h ischemic group. Thus, the onset of the excess glycogen accumulation appears to be dependent on the intensity of the ischemic insult.

This investigation was supported by Research Grant DE-02102-02 of the U.S. Public Health Service. I thank Prof.N. Fuson for his interest, encouragement and many helpful suggestions throughout apatite investigation. The IR-spectrum of the sample was run by Mr.K. E. Stine at Beckman Instruments Inc., Fullerton, California, and the X-ray diffraction pattern was done by Dr.R. L. Collin of the University of Rochester, Rochester, New York. The sample was prepared at the Infrared Spectroscopy Institute, Fisk University, Nashville, Tennessee, and the results and discussion parts were completed at Kentucky State College, Frankfort, Kentucky.     

Determination of pentoses

Riassunto Si descrive una modificazione del metodo diDische eBorenfreund per la determinazione dei pentosi, che raddoppia all'incirca la sensibilità. La modifica più importante consiste nel trattamento iniziale della soluzione zuccherina con HCl concentrato e nella riduzione a soli 5 min del tempo di immersione in bagno maria bollente dopo l'aggiunta del reattivo al floroglucinolo.
