Focal cerebral ischaemia was produced in 11 rats by permanent occlusion of the right middle cerebral artery (MCA) using a suture model modified to enable manipulation with the animals in situ in an NMR spectrometer. The development of the ischaemic insults and the resultant infarcts were observed for up to 6 h by localized H-1 MRS and diffusion-weighted MRI while performing continuous monitoring of electroencephalogram and extracellular DC potential. The ischaemic areas were depicted as regions of hyperintensity in the diffusion-weighted images. Signals due to lactate became visible in the H-1 spectra after MCA occlusion indicating the onset of anaerobic glycolysis. A depletion of N-acetylaspartate was seen in all animals post-occlusion. Transient or stepwise increases of lactate were observed to occur coincidentally with the events of spontaneous transient peri-infarct depolarization detected by the electrophysiological measurements. Expansion of the ischaemic area delineated in the diffusion-weighted images also accompanied peri-infarct depolarizations. These observations are consistent with transient peri-infarct depolarization playing a role in the growth of infarcts.
