Concentration of 2,3-DPC was decreased in erythrocytes and the plasma erythropoietic activity was reduced in rats in hyperoxia as well as in rats with the post-transfusional and posthypoxic polycythemia. The data obtained suggest changes of both the oxygen transport properties of the blood and the erythropoiesis in order to limit the oxygen supply of tissues under conditions of excessive oxygen in the organism.

Recent investigations have demonstrated that normobaric hyperoxia induces neuroprotection against ischemic injury. The aim of study was to determine the survey of HO (hyperoxia) preconditioning on brain lipidome.The animals were assigned into three groups, the first experimental group was exposed to 95% inspired HO for 4 h /day for six consecutive days. The second experimental group considered as the control group and was exposed to 21% oxygen as room air (RA) in the same chamber. The third group acted as sham, which was under the stress of surgery condition without ischemia. The first two groups were divided into 2 subgroups, intact (without any surgery) and middle cerebral artery occlusion- operated (MCAO). Twenty-four hours after exposure to hyperoxia, MCAO subgroups were subjected to 60 min of right middle cerebral artery occlussion. After 24 h reperfusion, infarct volume (IV) and neurological deficit score (NDS) were assessed in MCAO subgroup. Brain lipidomics were measured in the intact subgroup. Preconditioning with HO significantly reduced NDS and IV and elevated the level of phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), sphingomyelin (SM), cholesterol ester (CE), cholesterol (Chol), phosphatidylcholine (PC), triglyceride (TG) and cerebroside (CB) in the brain as compared with the control (sham and RA). HO preconditioning, significantly decreased the brain ceramide (Cer) and lyso- phosphatidylcholine (Lyso-PC or LPC) levels. Preconditioning with HO decreases brain ischemia injury via changes in brain lipidomics and significantly decreases the brain ceramides (CER).Although more studies are required to explain the mechanisms of time course of neuroprotection, HO preconditioning partly decreases brain ischemia injury via changes in brain lipidome.
