摘要
The effects of neurosteroids, 17beta-estradiol and dehydroepiandrosterone-sulfate (DHEA-S), were investigated on retinal degeneration using a rat model of ischemia-reperfusion injury. The animals were anaesthetized and retinal ischemia was induced by elevating the intraocular pressure to 120 mm Hg for 45 min. Neurosteroids were injected intraperitoneally before ischemia and immediately after reperfusion. Retinal biochemical changes such as increase of lactate content and decrease of glucose and ATP were significantly inhibited by neurosteroids compared to the control ischemic group. The effects of 17beta-estradiol and DHEA-S were antagonized by pre-treatment with the sigma(1) site antagonist. These findings suggest that 17beta-estradiol and dehydroepiandrosterone-sulfate may affect the metabolic state of surviving neurons and glial cells after ischemic injury and that they act, at least in part, through involvement of a, recognition sites.
