Following hypoxia (i.e. 6% oxygen/1hr) and reoxygenation (H/R), the BBB tight junctional complex is disrupted, resulting in increased BBB permeability and the development of vasogenic brain edema. In this study, we examined the effect of H/R on the in vivo rat BBB over a 36 hr time course in conjunction with paracellular permeability, grey matter edema, and systemic inflammatory activity. A biphasic increase was observed in the brain uptake of 14C-sucrose, a paracellular permeability marker; with the first increase at the 10 min reoxygenation time point, and the second increase at the 6−18hr time points. Increased brain water weight gain (edema) also showed a biphasic response with the first increase at the 10 min-1 hr reoxygenation time points; and the second increase at only the 24 hr time point). Analysis of serum derived cytokines (IL-1β, TNFα, IL-6, IL-10, & IFNγ) demonstrated that only IL-1β and IL-6 were at detectable levels, but these levels were similar to controls. White bloodcell counts showed significant decreases in lymphocytes (10 min-3 hr), increases in monocytes (10 min-3 hr & 12 hr), and increases in polymorphonuclear cells (1hr & 3 hr). We have shown that H/R elicits a biphasic increase in paracellular permeability and edema, which parallel to post-stroke sequelae, despite the lack of occlusion or complete depletion of oxygen. ## Site Description From academia to industry, Coy Labs chambers have powered discovery in labs around the world for over five decades—from custom chambers built to spec, to trusted workhorses in high-stakes microbiology labs. --- **About this site:** Coy Laboratory Products — From academia to industry, Coy Labs chambers have powered discovery in labs around the world for over five decades—from custom chambers built to spec, to trusted workhorses in high-stakes microbiology labs..
