Hypoxia-induced neuronal damage and glutamate release were investigated in a N-2- or in xenon-atmosphere for embryonic rat cortical neurons; cellular damage and glutamate over-release were observed in N-2-treated cells whereas xenon protected the cells from the hypoxic insult. The protective effect of xenon was strongly reduced by pre-incubating neurons with the calcium-chelator BAPTA-AM indicating a role for calcium in this process. The results demonstrate (a) the neuroprotective properties of xenon, suggest (b) a relationship between the prevention of neurotransmitter release in a hypoxic situation and neuroprotection and present (c) evidence that such neuroprotection may be based on yet other xenon-dependent mechanisms.
