Oxygen free radicals have been increasingly implicated in ischemia/reperfusion mediated injury to tissue. Recent methods of assessing tissue oxygen free radical flux including spin trapping, salicylate hydroxylation, protein oxidation and specific enzymatic activity loss have clearly shown that ischemia/reperfusion mediates oxidative damage in brain. Vascular endothelia cells are increasingly implicated in inactivating oxidative damage. The authors have used salicylate to assess hydroxyl free radical flux during an anoxia-reoxygenation insult in isolated brain microvessels. Brain microvessels that were subjected to a 20 min anoxia period and then reoxygenated for 20 min hydroxylated salicylate to form tissue localized 2,3-dihydroxybenzoic acid (2,3-DHBA) whereas microvessels that remained oxygenated throughout contained very little 2,3-DHBA. The data suggest that anoxia/reoxygenation of microvessels produces tissue localized hydroxyl free radical flux.
