abstract

background: pioglitazone from thiazolidinediones generation, represent a new antidiabetic drugs that have been introduced in the world recently. thiazolidinediones can improve insulin resistance by activating the nuclear peroxoxisome proliferator activated receptor-γ (ppar-γ) and increasing insulin sensitivity in their receptors. insulin and its receptors are found in specific areas of cns with a variety of region-specific functions. the effects of insulin in cns are different from its direct glucose regulation in the periphery. hippocampus and cerebral cortex distributed insulin/insulin receptor have been shown to be involved in brain cognitive functions. in the present study, the effect of pioglitazone microinjection into ca1 region of rat hippocampus using morris water maze performance has been investigated. methods: in this experimental study, male n-mri rats were randomly divided into control, dmf (dimethyl formamide) and pioglitazone groups (0.001, 0.01, 0.1, 1, 10 µg/rat). drugs were injected (1 µl/rat) into ca1 region bilaterly during 1 min. thirty minutes after the intrahippocampal injection of drugs, water maze training was started. results: pioglitazone had a dose dependent effect. the spatial learning and memory didn’t change with lower dose of pioglitazone, but improved with intermediate doses, while they impaired with higher dose. conclusion: these results suggest that intrahippocampal injection of pioglitazone may have a dose-dependent effect on spatial learning and memory in rats in range of 0.001 to 1 µg/rat.

The effect of injection of estradiol benzoate into hippocampal CA1 area on spatial learning and memory in intact and castrated adult male rats

Estrogen has a widespread and complex influence on brain capabilities such as learning and memory. On the other hand, hippocampus as one of the main brain structures has an important role in spatial information processing. There is some evidence on the existence of estrogen receptors in the hippocampal CA1 area. So, in this study the effect of intrahippocampal injection of estradiol benzoate on...

Assessment of the effect of nitric oxide within hippocampal CA1 area on spatial learning and memory in morphine dependent rats

Introduction: There are evidences showing the role of nitric oxide in the opiate reward properties. The role of nitric oxide signaling pathway as an intracellular mechanism on augmentation of long term potentiation in hippocampal CA1 area of rats is also confirmed. It has been also reported that oral morphine dependence facilitates formation of spatial learning and memory via activation of N...

Effect of Intra-CA1 injection of estrogen on spatial memory and learning in rats

Introduction: Sexhormones are one of most important factors in difference of learning and memory between tow sexes (male & female). High concentration of estrogen and androgen receptors and mechanism of testosterone and estrogen production in learning and memory center, especially in hippocampus show the role of this receptors, sexhormons and P450 enzymes in spatial memory. Consequently, in thi...

Effect of Vitamin D3 on Improvement of Learning and Spatial Memory Following Demyelination induction in hippocampal CA1 Area of rat

Introduction: Consumption of vitamin D3 is effective to reduce intensity of autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis. Neurons of the central nervous system are constantly exposed to reactive oxygen species and these factors play a key role in the destruction of myelin and damage of axons. The hippocampus is a vital center for learning and memory in central nervous system. This area is ...
