Postischemic evoked potential recovery correlates with acidosis during ischemia and early reperfusion. Acidosis promotes lipid peroxidation in vitro. We tested the hypothesis that the 21-aminosteroid tirilazad mesylate (U74006F), an inhibitor of lipid peroxidation in vitro, ameliorates somatosensory evoked potential recovery and acidosis during reperfusion after severe incomplete cerebral ischemia.
