Protein synthesis in neurons and satellite glial cells of rats after global cerebral ischemia caused by cardiac arrest

Abstract

Protein synthesis rates are increased in light and dark neurons and satellite glia cells in various brain areas in rats with completely restituted neurological status after cardiac arrest. However, the increase is provided by different cell types. Only free light neurons are reactive in the hippocampal sector CA1, while both free light neurons as light neurons with glia are reactive in sector CA4; intense protein synthesis is observed in all types of the cerebral cortex neurons and in cortical neurons and in the satellite glial cells of the lateral cerebellar hemispheres.
