Abstract

The preliminary results reported here suggest that perinatal asphyxia modifies the

synthesis of eicosanoids in the brain mainly the formation of TXB2. Therefre, it is

hypothesized that the major neonatal neuronalloss due to severe EHI is a result of both

the effects of hypoxia-ischemia and enhancement of the arachidonic acid pathway

during reperfusion. The imbalance between vaso active eiconsaoids may reduce FSC

with progression of neuronal death after asphyxia.
