We analyzed the expression of Cu,Zn-superoxide dismutase (SOD) mRNA in both contusion and cold injury. Twenty-three rats were divided into 3 groups: a control group, a contusion group, and a cold injury group. Six hours after the injury, the rats were decapitated and the gray matter was resected from 3 portions: the core of the injured cortex, its periphery, and a distal portion on the non-lesion side. Based on the specific gravity of each sample, almost the same degree of edema developed in both injury groups. The mRNA expression in the cold injury group, however, significantly decreased in all portions. The extremely low temperature associated with cold injury is a possible cause of the decrease in Cu,Zn-SOD mRNA.
