Ber inhibited uncomplete cerebral ischemic rabbit platelet aggregation triggered by collagen, ADP, and arachidonic acid (AA) with the IC 50 of 0.15, 0.46, and 0.51 mg·ml 1 , respectively. In rabbits, Ber 25, or 50 mg·kg 1 iv 30 min after uncomplete cerebral ischemia, restrained the collagen ADP and AA induced platelet aggregation determined 90 min later. With radioimmunoassay, we measured the thromboxane B2 (TXB 2) and 6 ketoprostaglandin F 1α (6 keto PGF 1α ) contents in rabbit plasma. The results indicated that the TXB 2 level in rabbit 120 min after uncomplete cerebral ischemia (921±539 pg·ml 1 ) was higher than that (230±71 pg·ml 1 ) in normal rabbits ( P < 0.01), but 6 keto PGF 1α level after ischemia (73±23pg·ml 1 ) was lower than that (262±988pg·ml 1 ) in normal rabbit. Ber (5, 25 or 50 mg·kg 1 ) reduced obviously the plasma TXB 2 level in rabbit with uncomplete cerebral ischemia (504±196, 386±174, or 272±183 vs 921±539 pg·ml 1 , respectively, P < 0.01). We conclude that the decrease of TXB 2 content is one of the possible mechanisms of Ber anti cerebral ischemic effect.展开更多
