Thirty minutes of total cerebral ischemia (decapitation) decreased total glutathione (GSH + GSSG) by 7% but had no detectable effect on the concentration of oxidized glutathione (GSSG), reduced ascorbate, or total ascorbate. In a model of reversible, bilateral hemispheric ischemia (four‐vessel occlusion) no changes in glutathione or ascorbate were detected after 30 min of ischemia. During 24 h of reperfusion following such an insult no detectable change in total ascorbate, reduced ascorbate, or oxidized glutathione was noted; however, total brain glutathione declined by 25%. The findings are discussed in relation to the hypothesis that the deleterious effects of ischemia are due to an increase in free radical production which in turn leads to increased lipid peroxidation.
