Diabetes Mellitus Type1 and Neuronal Degeneration in Ventral and Dorsal Hippocampus
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background and Objectives: Studies have documented the morhplogical, neurochemical and functional difference between the dorsal and ventral zones of hippocampus. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of chronic diabetes mellitus type1 on ventral and dorsal zones of hippocampus. Methods: Experimental diabetes was induced by stereptozotocin at a dose of 60 mg/kg. At the end of 8 weeks the brains were removed and stained by cresyl violet. The number of dark neurons in CA1 and CA3 regions of dorsal and ventral zones of hippocampus was counted by modified stereological method. Results: The number of dead neurons in CA3 ventral showed significant level of difference (P<0.05) in comparison to CA3 dorsal. The number of dead neurons in CA1 ventral and CA1 dorsal showed also significant difference (P<0.05) Conclusion: The results of our study Provide evidence that is indicative of more vulnerability of ventral zone than dorsal zone of hippocampus to diabetes mellitus type 1.

متن کاملNeuronal damage of the dorsal hippocampus induced by long-term right common carotid artery occlusion in rats
Objective(s):The present study investigated the effect of long-term mild cerebral hypoperfusion induced by permanent unilateral (right) common carotid artery occlusion (UCO) on the dorsal hippocampal neurons in rats. Materials and Methods:Sixty four male Sprague-Dawley rats aged 4 months were divided into two groups of sham and UCO. These two groups were further divided into 4 sets of histopath...
متن کاملThe effect of silymarin on prevention of hippocampus neuronal damage in rats with temporal lob epilepsy
Background and Objective: Temporal lobe epilepsy is hallmarked with neuronal degeneration in some areas of hippocampus and mossy fiber sprouting in dentate area. Considering some evidences on neuroprotective and antioxidant activity of silymarin (SM), this study was undertaken to evaluate the preventive effect of this agent on structural changes in hippocampus of kainate-epileptic rats. Materia...

Background: Glutamate is essential to learning and memory as an excitatory neurotransmitter. This study evaluated the atrazine effect on the hippocampus and examined the mitigative role of avocado oil against the neuronal degeneration and behavioral deficits in Wistar rats. Methods: Fifty adult male Wistar rats were divided into four groups of ten. Group 1 (controls) received 0.5 ml distilled ...
متن کاملThe Involvement of Intra-Hippocampal Dopamine Receptors in the Conditioned Place Preference Induced By Orexin Administration into the Rat Ventral Tegmental Area
The activity of dopamine (DA)-containing neurons in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) is a key mechanism in mesolimbic reward processing that has modulatory effects on different diencephalic structures like hippocampus (HIP), and receives inhibitory feedback and excitatory feed forward control. In addition, within the hippocampus, DA receptors are mostly located in the dorsal part (CA1) and dopa...
