Background and Purpose We tested the hypothesis that intravenous administration of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) during 4 hours of permanent focal ischemia would affect acute brain injury.Methods Halothane-anesthetized cats underwent left middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion for 4 hours. Control cats received diluent (n=14). Experimental cats were treated with bFGF ata rate of 5 (n=13), 50 (n=13), or 250 mu g/kg per hour (n=9) intravenously beginning 60 minutes after initiation of ischemia and continuing until the end of the protocol.Results As measured by the microsphere method, blood flow to ipsilateral caudate nucleus and ipsilateral inferior temporal cortex was decreased similarly during ischemia, before drug administration, in all groups. Likewise, there was no difference in blood flow to ipsilateral caudate nucleus or inferior temporal cortex as a result of bFGF administration during MCA occlusion. Triphenyltetrazolium-determined injury volume of the ipsilateral cerebral cortex (control, 40+/-7%; bFGF 5 mu g/kg per hour, 22+/-5%; bFGF 50 mu g/kg per hour, 26+/-7%; bFGF 255 mu g/kg per hour, 23+/-6% of ipsilateral cerebral cortex; mean+/-SEM) was less in cats treated with bFGF. There was no difference among groups in injury volume to caudate nucleus (control, 29+/-8%; bFGF 5 mu g/kg per hour, 29+/-8%; bFGF 50 mu g/kg per hour, 21+/-7%; bFGF 250 mu g/kg per hour, 32+/-7% of ipsilateral caudate nucleus). Somatosensory evoked potential amplitude decreased similarly (to
