Abstrakt: Background: The mechanisms by which megadose sodium ascorbate improves clinical status in experimental sepsis is unclear. We determined its effects on cerebral perfusion, oxygenation, and temperature, and plasma levels of inflammatory biomarkers, nitrates, nitrites, and ascorbate in ovine Gram-negative sepsis.
Methods: Sepsis was induced by i.v. infusion of live Escherichia coli for 31 h in unanaesthetised Merino ewes instrumented with a combination sensor in the frontal cerebral cortex to measure tissue perfusion, oxygenation, and temperature. Fluid resuscitation at 23 h was followed by i.v. megadose sodium ascorbate (0.5 g kg -1 over 30 min+0.5 g kg -1 h -1 for 6.5 h) or vehicle (n=6 per group). Norepinephrine was titrated to restore mean arterial pressure (MAP) to 70-80 mm Hg.
Results: At 23 h of sepsis, MAP (mean [sem]: 85 [2] to 64 [2] mm Hg) and plasma ascorbate (27 [2] to 15 [1] μM) decreased (both P<0.001). Cerebral ischaemia (901 [58] to 396 [40] units), hypoxia (34 [1] to 19 [3] mm Hg), and hyperthermia (39.5 [0.1]°C to 40.8 [0.1]°C) (all P<0.001) developed, accompanied by malaise and lethargy. Sodium ascorbate restored cerebral perfusion (703 [121] units], oxygenation (30 [2] mm Hg), temperature (39.2 [0.1]°C) (all P Treatment <0.05), and the behavioural state to normal. Sodium ascorbate slightly reduced the sepsis-induced increase in interleukin-6, returned VEGF-A to normal (both P GroupxTime <0.01), and increased plasma ascorbate (20 000 [300] μM; P Group <0.001). The effects of sodium ascorbate were not reproduced by equimolar sodium bicarbonate.
Conclusions: Megadose sodium ascorbate rapidly reversed sepsis-induced cerebral ischaemia, hypoxia, hyperthermia, and sickness behaviour. These effects were not reproduced by an equimolar sodium load.
