Full text not available from this repository.The effect of hypoxic preconditioning (PC) on hypoxic-ischemic (HI) injury was explored in glutathione peroxidase (GPx)-overexpressing mice (human GPx-transgenic [hGPx-tg]) mice. Six-day-old hGPx-tg mice and wild-type (Wt) littermates were pre-conditioned with hypoxia for 30 min and subjected to the Vannucci procedure of HI 24 h after the PC stimulus. Histopathological injury was determined 5 d later (P12). Additional animals were killed 2 h or 24 h after HI and ipsilateral cerebral cortices assayed for GPx activity, glutathione (GSH), and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). In line with previous studies, hypoxic PC reduced injury in the Wt brain. Preconditioned Wt brain had increased GPx activity, but reduced GSH, relative to naive 24 h after HI. Hypoxic PC did not reduce injury to hGPx-tg brain and even reversed the protection previously reported in the hGPx-tg. GPx activity and GSH in hGPx-tg cortices did not change. Without PC, hGPx-tg cortex had less H2O2 accumulation than Wt at both 2 h and 24 h. With PC, H2O2 remained low in hGPx-tg compared with Wt at 2 h, but at 24 h, there was no longer a difference between hGPx-tg and Wt cortices. Accumulation of H2O2 may be a mediator of injury, but may also induce protective mechanisms.
